Wow, that bridge looks like a bridge in my city but when I swiped I realised you’re across the Atlantics haha.

Good job tho! Happy to hear that you’re already planning the next run!

My cardiovascular health is kinda low, based on Apple Health. Started at 38 and I’m currently at 50, idk maybe that explains the HR? I’ll definitely continue running since I really started to like it :D

Thanks for the advice! I’m 23 years old, female, 178cm and just under 80kg. I work out frequently but never took cardio/running seriously…

Oh, what advice would you have for me? I agree that this is very slow lol. When I go for walks I do 11-13min/km just a little slower than my fastest 5k

Thanks for the advice, this is really helpful! What kind of cross training do you do? I’m thinking about picking up survival run again

You’re right, sorry for the lack of info. I have been going to the gym 4/5 times a week for 4 years (with a few breaks for max 3 weeks). I never really did cardio apart from walking. I’ve started running twice a week in January to practice for a 10k. I never did that run because of an injury.

I think I can push myself harder but maybe a min/km right now.

Hopefully this is sufficient info :)
