just started running this summer just bought a smart watch.
it says i
burned 367 cal
distance 3.87 mi
avg hear rate 137 bpm
avg pace 15'45 mi

can someone post there info so i can get a gauge of if this is even close to what a normal human is supposed to be capable of or if i'm just unhealthy

Got the pre-marathon race jitters. I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow when the race starts.

Also: hill sprints.

>15'45 mi

15 minutes per mile?

Also, what's your resting heartrate according to your smart watch? Does it seem accurate - do the old pulse count and compare it to your tracker to see how closely it matches (when at rest).

About 100cals a mile is reasonable. Heart rate wise that also makes sense - certainly you should expect it to rise quite considerably. Being 2x your resting rate doing activity is normal, 2x + to 3x is normal when really working out.

Your pace is pretty bad. Did you walk/power walk during the run? Or did you have to wait for a bunch of crosswalks?

A pretty normal mile pace is 10 mins/mile. I don't know your fitness level but maybe you're trying to run longer distance too soon.

A 15 minute mile isn't good user; I'm not trying to be rude but a good pace is 7-8 min/mi. The most important part is whether or not you enjoyed running tbqh

I decided to train my sprint when I become able to jog for 20 kms.

I really want to do half a marathon sometime in my life. Not interested in full marathons, I like jogging, but doing it for 1+ hours is fucking boring.

did running for a while with sprints at the end of sessions, feelt like shit

>really bad shape since forever, never liked running
>the longest recent run I did was about 2.4km before running out of breath

>wake up in the morning
>feel like running
>do 5k for the first time in my life
