I'm wildly excited that my three month old Garmin just showed my vo2 max increased by 1. (I take this and most of those metrics tongue in cheek, though I do appreciate trends if I'm on some kind of a consistent routine.) I'm now a 41. :)

It's miraculous. Good luck with the first week or two side effects most people deal with. The meds don't cause you to eat proper foods and prevent blood sugar drops, the meds make it very very easy for you to do the proper things that lead to proper foods and avoiding blood sugar drops. Good luck!

@SummerSkier It is good to hear you are on the mend from breaking your ankle. Congrats on the MFP logging consistency, great job. I've had a left knee glitch ever since a age 19 motorcycle crash. It flairs up occasionally, but has never caused pain while running, it is always tenderness post-run. It's been HOT for about…

I ran 3.30M at 12'13 out at the lake. It was called a threshold run.

I ran 4.42M at 13:35 out at the beach, before it heats up. The plan called for an hour run.

@AlphaHowls The Four Tendency's was fun. Questioners - “I’ll comply if you convince me why.” Questioners question all expectations, and they respond to an expectation only if they conclude that it makes sense—in essence, they meet only inner expectations. They’re motivated by reason, logic, and fairness, which can lead to…

I ran 3.91M at 13'21 Another hot day. This run had eight intervals.

I ran 3.59M at 13'22. Summer in coastal California is usually August, September, and October. It started. Today was the hottest day of the year. ..and June is the coldest month...and February is the most beautiful and best time to visit 😀

Hey @JaysFan82 What's the latest? How's life and running going?

Hello @micukica 1st km 7' 30" 2nd km 6'40"/km It is what it is. 99% of all people did not run 2km yesterday. You doing 2km is actually extraordinary. 30km for the month sounds like a good plan.

Hey @daria0919, "My husband is doing great! He’s back to work." that's such good news. Modern medicine can occasionally be miraculous. What's your running plan going forward?

@Laurz9191 Thanks for the travelogue. It is so nice coming here and seeing all the locations we've visited. I enjoy never having to watch and/or listen to cars in (all places) Yup, I could not agree more. I was carless for ten years when I lived in a nice city. Now, I contribute to the traffic, but try to drive as little…

I ran 3.01M at 11'39 over in Mission Bay at I place I used to run a million years ago. I felt sentimental. Out west is the first big fire of the season. From now until the first rain in November or December we're on alert.

Happy Birthday @quilteryoyo 🎂

I ran 3.14M at 12'45 out at the lake this morning. It was a nice clear peaceful run out there.

Hi @micukica, Three things. This is a great monthly challenge to stay connected to running Success here for me has come with taking the :02 minutes a day to post something on the tread... don't ghost it. As a full-time worker it's tricky most of the maniacs here say "I like the quiet time in the morning, feel good getting…

It took a couple of weeks with my new Garmin, until it reported HRV status.

Here we are @swenson19d @showjumper @TheBugaloos @rancat97 @Melobee63 for the August Running Challenge . It is the beautiful thing about this thread, like Groundhog's Day, last month's runs are a memory and we all get to start again fresh in the new month's challenge. I hope to see you here for August.

August Running Goal: 45 miles 9.5 lbs.weight loss (183.5 lbs -> 174.0 lbs) ———————————————————— I'm Chris; I live in San Diego, California. I'm wanting to have stability with fewer health niggles and a good consistent baseline. Last month I stopped strength training and ran more, and I went over my running goal. I'll stay…

I ran 2.40M at 13'36 tonight, right around sunset. It was nice. 54/40 miles completed for July. I hope to see everyone over in the August thread.

Hello @gamommy2, A great thing about this thread is that it promotes consistency. Make it a practice to post a daily sentence or two, a one minute investment in your time, and your running plans will never get too far away. Welcome.

I ran 3.75M at 13'28, feels good, but I'd love to leave it all on a vacation for a couple weeks. The long days of summer are calling to lounge around.

@WarmJellyfish 17c here with a high of 27c predicted. Most of the US has been hammered the last two weeks with heat, we've been spared. Our big annual event "Comic-Con" was this weekend, and for the melting other people who traveled here it was glorious. 🌞

(Spoiler) On Garmin they list the devices that are supported with wrist-only HRV. It might be fun to get a cheap HR strap…I don't have one, but I think the lowest cost ones are only ten or twenty bucks.

Nope My new Garmin is just coming around to giving me an HRV score. <humble brag> it says 40 and calls that excellent. Sorry about that: My VO2 Max (according to Garmin) is 40. HRV 7d avg. is 28

Hey @CMorning99 Oura ring is still slowly calibrating. It says I got good sleep all weekend but I was in the "stressed" mode pretty much all day and my HRV was in the mid 30's…which from reading, is the "stressed" end. My new Garmin is just coming around to giving me an HRV score. <humble brag> it says 40 and calls that…

I ran 3.11M at 12'53 out at the lake. I was tired so I took two days off. It felt good to get out there again today.

I ran 2.09M at 14'31 an easy loop around the neighborhood.

Here it all cars all the time. Bicyclist, pedestrians, and runners are far down the priority list. All nice runs I take come from joining everyone else by getting into my car and driving some place for a peaceful run. Best to keep mom happy...(maybe sneak out for a short loop) 😁

I ran 4.04M at 12'29 out by the lake after work this evening.
