After Run Reflection:
All data above is generated with my Garmin Sapphire 3HR.
This run was completed with my beloved. We were running in a park. Crowds were dense, and there were some hilly sections that allowed us to put our altitude, and decline running to the test.
According to my girlfriend, I ran downhill with loud “stomps.” She advised I soften my feet when I am running decline. After this run, my knees felt sore. I think the pain is stemming from my decline running form.
Another opportunity for growth is managing my software: I accidentally stopped my Garmin watch during this run. Read my review of the Garmin Fenix Sapphire 3HR here.
Lastly, another task will be to research the pollution in Shenzhen, and how it impacts my lungs while I am running. I might need to look at the pollution levels during the day, pick times where the pollution shows a pattern of being at its lowest level.
