That dissociation (high perceived effort, low measured HR) is typical after a layoff: the cardiovascular system recovers fast (HRV 118, resting HR 44 — the machine is ready), while the musculoskeletal system lags behind — back stiffness, tight achilles, heavy legs. The back noise in km 1 was likely a stiff-joint release after 13 days off; it cleared as the run went on. The achilles soreness is the one to watch — with flat feet, the achilles is already under more tension, and a sharp pain (not just tightness) would be a stop-and-walk signal. For now: tight-but-manageable after a break is expected, and the easy pace was the right call. Give the tendons a couple of easy re-entry runs before asking anything of them.
