I wouldn't call myself an expert. Like you Dan, I walked for a while and then I felt like I was speed walking, and eventually I wanted to run. I just ran until I my heart rate was about 155 and then stopped and walked for a bit until it was under 120 and then ran again, rinse and repeat. I did this for an hour or so, doing about at 5K.

This will vary for everyone. You're younger, so heart rate will probably should go higher. Each day I ran or each week I would push myself to run longer or farther. Eventually I got up to a 5K, running the entire time. Before I hit that milestone though, I needed new shoes. I got myself a nice pair of Skechers running shoes. I also bought myself a pair of Shokz bone conducting headphones. My earbuds were lose or falling out. I fucking love them. I also started wearing boxer briefs when I run. Never wore them before. I've been wearing boxes since I was 11. The boxer briefs keep the junk from bouncing all around. And lastly I eventually bought an arm band to strap my phone to my arm. I always listen to music or podcasts. Shrug.

I'll keep the pace and grow like you suggested. That's similar to my current goals. Thanks for the advice and reaching out.

I got the boxer briefs so I'm good on that one.

I'll need to update my shoes soon, but not yet.

Can I get a link on the headphones? 🎧

I'll look it up, but am curious to what you specifically have.

not really Derek, they good at reducing the pressure in canal but only useful indoor and quite surroundings. I can’t listen to the podcast on the go, if it’s traffic/noise outside.

I used them for the last 6 months. They do exactly what I want them to do. I can listen to music and podcasts and I can easily hear if a car is about to kill me. I bought them to hear the outside world and my music or podcasts are the same time. They do so much better than my Pixel Buds and Pixel Buds Pro that I used prior to that. I can hear external noises and they don't fall out of my ears.

you must be using the amplifier then or your ears are better than me, I can’t cancel the external noise and pull them off, only works in two scenarios.

1. In office and

2. Running in nature

but gives you great situation awareness.

Ah. I don't live in a city. It's very rural here. I only have a dozen cars at most pass me while running around my neighborhood. The other times I'm trail running.

I am jealous now that you live in peaceful and stress free environment, but they are good. I haven’t tried with android and found that windows boost the music more than my iOS on Shokz.

Had them for a good 7 years, and they're life changing. Big issue is that they're so convenient to have on that I'll go to meetings with them still on my head not realizing they're even there. They're off at that point of course, but it's not the best look...
