What's different today is the *shape*: the last three runs all faded (Sep 13: 6'52"→8'36"→9'23" → stop; Sep 16: 5'56"→6'08"), and today went the other way — 6'15" → 6'10" → 5'45". That is the warm-up pattern finally doing its job instead of the achilles announcing itself at km 2. + +## Verdict + +**The comeback run the down week was for.** Two days after the 2 km break-in and one day after the first full recovery night since quitting, this is a proper step back up: 3.11 km, progressive, no fade, no gait compensation. Opening deliberately (6'15") and letting it build (5'45" final km) is exactly the execution the Sep 16 note asked for — open easy and let the legs warm into it. It paid off: the negative split is the first signal that the achilles/calf issue that ended Sep 13 is quieting, not just being managed. + +Still inside the down week, so no volume heroics: the Sunday long run is the actual goal, and this morning already banked the Friday slot. HRV 127 behind it means the base was fully recovered — this wasn't a run on credit. + +## Connected + +- [[Sleep/2026-09-18]] +- [[Runs/2026-09-16]] (the break-in this extends) +- [[Runs/2026-09-13]] (the flare this is the clean return from) +- [[Health/mobility]] +- [[Half-marathon-plan]] diff --git a/Sleep/2026-09-18.md b/Sleep/2026-09-18.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a145f6d --- /dev/null +++ b/Sleep/2026-09-18.md @@ -0,0 +1,48 @@ +--- +date: 2026-09-18 +type: sleep +tags: [sleep, recovery, quit-smoking-milestone, first-big-sleep] +--- + +# Sleep — 2026-09-18 + +**8h 24min** · 23:07→07:32 · REM: 8% · Deep: 28% · HRV: **127** · Resting HR: 47 · Woke: 1× · Score: **89/100** + +> First big sleep since quitting smoking (nine days off).

HRV jumped **98 → 127ms** — back inside his sober 110–135 baseline — and resting HR dropped **54 → 47 bpm**, the same excellent low he logged on Sep 13, on the first genuinely long, pre-midnight, mostly-continuous night since quitting. Bed 23:07 is the first pre-midnight bedtime since the Sep 8 record (22:59 → 145ms), and it did its usual thing: recovery quality snapped straight back to baseline. Score 89 (better than 99% of users) on 8h24 and only one wake-up — versus the 6h37 / 2-wake-up / HRV-98 withdrawal night two days ago. This is the nervous system proving it no longer needs nicotine to get a night. + +The one flag is **architecture, not recovery**: light sleep 64% is still High (ref <55%) and REM is 8% (Low, ref 10–30%) — the watch itself calls the REM out. A week of withdrawal fragmentation left the night light-heavy and dream-short even now that it's long. The autonomic system is fixed (HRV/RHR); the sleep-stage balance just needs another night or two to settle. REM under ~10% is only worth acting on if it's still there past the weekend. + +| Metric | Value | Reference | +|--------|-------|-----------| +| Night sleep | 8h 24min | 6-10h (Normal) | +| Bed → Rise | 23:07 → 07:32 | — | +| Deep sleep | 28% (2h 21min) | 20-60% (Normal) | +| Light sleep | **64% (5h 22min)** | <55% (**High**) | +| REM sleep | **8% (41min)** | 10-30% (**Low**) | +| Deep sleep continuity | 75 points | 70-100 (Normal) | +| Times woke | 1 time | 0-1 (Normal) | +| Breathing quality | 98 points | 70-100 (Normal) | +| HRV | 127ms | 79-137ms (Within range) | +| Resting HR | 47 bpm | 47-57 bpm (Within range, low) | +| SpO2 | 97% | 97-99% (Within range) | +| Respiratory rate | 14 brpm | 13-16 brpm (Within range) | +| Score | 89 / 100 | Better than 99% of users | + +### HRV / RHR progression + +| Date | HRV | RHR | Context | +|------|-----|-----|---------| +| Sep 8 | **145ms** 🚀 | 48 | Sober, bed 22:59 — all-time high | +| Sep 9 | 127ms | 50 | Sober, bed 00:25 | +| Sep 10 | 123ms | 49 | Sober, bed 00:10 — best score (91) | +| Sep 13 | 119ms | **47** | Rebound night, bed 23:39, 9h27 | +| Sep 16 | 98ms | 54 | 2 beers + nicotine withdrawal, bed 00:18 | +| **Sep 18** | **127ms** | **47** | First big sleep post-quit, bed 23:07 | + +## Connected + +- [[Runs/2026-09-18]] (the negative-split run this night powered) +- [[Sleep/2026-09-16]] (the withdrawal night this rebounds from — HRV 98, RHR 54) +- [[Sleep/2026-09-08]] (the pre-midnight record this bedtime echoes)
