easy cutback-week run with heart rate back under control after last Friday's higher easy-run reading

That keeps the cutback week moving without turning a short run into junk load.

The body is not waving a stop sign, but the day should stay controlled rather than ambitious.

Today's call: trim or soften

• Sleep was too short for a Green readiness call.

• Resting HR is at or below baseline.

Keep today deliberately light. If you want movement, make it a short walk, easy mobility, or nothing at all. Yesterday's easy run was enough touch on the pedals. The goal now is to let fatigue start to drain so Sunday's 10 km easy long run feels controlled instead of sticky.

How did the foot and lower legs feel after yesterday's easy run, especially once you cooled down?

The shared read is yellow, and the main limiter is sleep, not durability. Very short sleep is not a reason to force a training win. Keep the day calm and let recovery catch up. Resting HR is not flashing concern, so this is a softness call, not a stop sign.

You are eight days out, and the useful move now is restraint. Load is still carrying some residual fatigue today, but the projection into race day trends steadily toward fresher territory. That means you do not need one more proving session. You need to arrive with pop in the legs and a quiet foot.

Tomorrow stays at 10 km easy, not a statement run. Keep it fully conversational, cap the effort early, and finish feeling like you could have kept going. The purpose is rhythm and confidence, not fitness extraction. If the foot or lower legs feel at all touchy, trim it without debate.
