Hallo in die Runde, seit einigen Wochen trage ich meine Forerunner 265 regelmäßig und der HFV kann dadurch gemessen werden. Allerdings würde ich dann keinen Lauf mehr machen, weil ich wohl zu müde bin. Soll ich die Aufzeichnung stoppen, zum Arzt gehen, ignorieren oder mich daran halten? Ich bin manc

Hi 46F, with two small children here. I'm signed up for a half on the 23 Feb in my home town. Low stakes, just for fun.

Some background: I've been running on and off my entire life, but have have upped my mileage since 2023. Early in 2024, I ran a couple of 14-15km at about 6.1 m/km, and was gener
