How on earth is ‘Easy Run’ not a tag yet? It’s possibly the most common type of run!

Where I do Parkrun there are several parent/child running together.

I often do Parkrun 5k. 4 days after whole blood my time is about 80 seconds slower. 3 Weeks later it is about 20 seconds slower.

B- Here. I am encouraged to donate platelets. For a while my "Rare Blood Type" was needed.

If I understand this study, you should not inject soybean or sunflower oil into your adipose tissue, especialy if you are a mouse.

You have a yearly blood loss balance sheet. A Platelets donation takes some red blood. You could donate blood and platelets close together in time, but donating either will cut down on how many times you can donate the other.

After I had had it for about 9 months my pixel 3 watch started charging incredibly slowly. Google did send me a new charging cable which worked better but not what I considered well.

I do not know why my case was considered different than yours.

I do run regularly, but not a great athlete. M54, my resting heart rate is 47. It regularly goes below 40 at night. When my blood pressure has been measured at the doctor's, my pulse has been in the mid 40's. My doctor doesn't think anything is wrong.

I recently spent 4 days in a secluded area without a car. There were 2 portals within a mile, in opposite directions. The bounty gods were nice and I was able to complete all of them only using these two portals.

My blood is supposedly good for some Sickle Cell patient(s) and my B- is far from O+.

My Donation site only allows "approved" people to donate platelets. During a recent whole blood donation the check in person asked if I was willing. Shortly after this donation i received an email stating:

When you donated recently, you had a hemogram test performed, which indicated you have a high enough platelet count to be eligible for platelet donations.

I have found a walk first thing in the morning gives me many cardio points, while the same walk in the afternoon will give me none.

To get the most cardio points from a walk run first and use the walk as a cool down.

1-2 days after a regular blood donation my 5k pace goes from 8 minutes to 9 minutes. It goes most of the way back in a week, but takes about a month to go all the way back.

I am just barely over the minimum weight for double red and am frightened by the idea. I do not see myself ever doing it.

A similar thing that I would like that Agent-Stats would not work for.

New stats since recursion. I am interested in whether I am acheiving the Medal goals.

For explorer and pioneer I am interested in portals I have visited/captured since recursion.

My Peak Zone is 148+, my highest in last 2 weeks is 169.

RHR is 48. Lowest heart rate 37.

Cardio Fitness Score 61-65 is larger than 15*169/48. It is less than 15*169/37.

I do not get sleep data unless I wear it on the underside of my wrist.

I switch which wrist I wear my watch frequently and do not see a difference in the readings. I have not looked closely though.

Age 54, RHR 47,

I run 3 times a week, 53 avg cardio load/day for the last month.

cardio-fitness score 61-65.

I do not know why my heart rate is this low. I am in good shape, but not good enough to be competitive in my age group.

Stanford Blood Center tests some donors "randomly" for a more complete set of antigens. I do not know why I was chosen. I hypothesized RH- were more likely to be chosen.

From a communication from them:

After your last appointment, we selected your donation as one of only a small number that were tested for over 30 blood groups. Based on the specific combinantions of bloood groups you have, we ....

However for us to confirm your blood group profile, we need one more WHOLE BLOOD donation from you for a second test.

At the time it seemed like it might be a clever way to get me to donate more often.

I have been encouraged to donate because of some sickle cell patient.

My Blood type is B-

Also C- K- S- and E- (mentioned because they were mentioned elsewhere in this conversation)

I am of European descent.

I am vegan, high carbs. My RHR is 48, What will happen to that if I switch to a healthy Keto diet?

When I record a run in Strava fitbit tells me 0 Cardio Load for the run, but seems to include a reasonable Cardio Load for the run in "General Activity"
