Monday's record: 11:30 AM–12:21 PM, HR 96–127 with a gradual rise, brief max, then clean cooldown. No workout yesterday; now it is late, so this is sleep-protecting Z2, not another moderate push. Hard cap tonight: 125. Soft cap: 118–120 sustained. If HR >120 for 2+ min, drop 1% incline or 0.2 mph; if near 125, go 1.5 mph flat and end if not settling. Optional finish only if HR is calm and breathing feels easy. If garage is ≥80°F/stuffy, stay at 2.6–2.7 mph / 0–1% and skip Finish. Do not exceed 2.9 mph / 2% tonight. STOP if dizzy, chest symptoms, unusual shortness of breath, headache, vision changes, or calf pain.
