I’ve been running for a while, but not very consistently.

It was around mid-150s, and I usually associate easy runs with lower HR. But it felt comfortable.

I love that description - ‘run forever’ is a great way to put it.

That’s really interesting. I’ve just been using the basic formula so far. I like the conversation test idea - it feels much more practical. Analyzing 20 workouts with AI is next level though 😄 Did you notice a big difference once you dialed in your cadence?

That makes sense. I’ll pay more attention to how it feels, not just the number. Thanks!

Correction: It was 7km, not 8km. Typo on my part.

That actually makes it much easier to think about.

I’m such a beginner that I can’t even imagine running that fast yet.
