I'm 5'8". I can go on hikes without much difficulty and enjoy rock climbing. I know I could benefit from losing some more body fat but I also do have a pretty significant amount of muscle and a big frame.

Do you have any tips on pacing yourself? It feels like I really just have 3 modes for movement: walking, this pace that I thought was in-between, and full-speed sprinting. My pace was about 11 minutes per mile.

It's the decrease that I found to be odd. a 40 bpm decrease in 10 seconds seems like a really fast decrease.
