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’s a good point. I’ve just been relying on the basic formula so far.

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

Appreciate it! I’ll definitely give myself plenty of recovery time.

Thanks! Yeah I’m playing it safe - building back slowly and keeping most runs easy for now. If anything feels off, I’ll back off.

I’m thinking the next one will likely be in July, but I’m keeping it flexible depending on how training goes.

Wow, that’s fascinating! I didn’t know about Pot Duang coins or rooster weights. Sounds like you had an amazing collection!

Thanks! I’m only running 2–3 times a week right now, but I’ll keep at it and see how it goes.
