The coach’s read

91 % Zone 2 — the best zone discipline of the plan, delivered on day one of a deliberately strict deload. After Saturday’s excursion, this is the response that matters: no compensating, no testing, just the prescription. A deload only works if it’s actually a deload.

Part of week 3 of the 30 km build.
