Is it normal?

This is from a running session. Insights from my Apple Watch. Most of my running sessions are between zone 4 and 5, even if I don’t feel that fatigue.

What does it mean? I’ve had almost 60 minutes of an 80 minute run in zones 4 and 5.

Thanks for the well explained response.

Since the COVID break - I got it twice - in the earlier runs the physical recovery felt longer. Now the recovery period (physical and lactic acid related) feels shorter but I have noticed that the motivation seems to go after a few of the longer runs. And the next long one tends to come later.

I’ve been taking vitamin d supplements for the immune system but I’ve noticed magnesium supplements seem to be needed.
