Activity story

Rebuilding Miles: 5.31 km Capalaba Run – Heart‑Rate Focus

Today I’m back on the trail, covering 5.31 km around Brosnan and Barber Drive in Capalaba. The goal? Increase distance while keeping my heart rate in a comfortable zone.

I finished in 43:06, averaging 8:07 min/km – a solid step forward after my break.

It’s still easy to detrain, but I’m keeping the pace honest and listening to what my body says. I’m not chasing perfection; I’m celebrating the fact that I’m moving again and building endurance one day at a time.

Watch the run, see the rhythm, and maybe pick up a few ideas for your own comeback. Let’s keep grinding together, one kilometre at a time.
