I take some comfort in knowing everyone’s belated with their Mastodon #Introduction—here’s mine:

I’m Ayomide, a generalist geek & writer. I’m a Nigerian expat in England and I’ve been a psychiatrist, medical trainer (students & junior docs) & youth volunteer in both countries. Learned to cycle just last year & just started on Spanish.

I write essays + a weekly newsletter reflecting on living meaningfully through the lenses of psychology, Christianity and Apple at https://join.docayomide.com

@justincox I’m probably not the best judge given I’m not a big fan of musicals to begin with but yes I found it firmly okay.

@chris @maggie I just shared a reply mentioning Slow Jogging by Hiroaki Tanaka which focuses on running not as sport but as something to enjoy while still getting all the benefit of regular exercise. He even describes it as running at slow enough to smile!

@maggie @Maggie I got turned on to this a few years ago after reading Hiroaki Tanaka’s Slow Jogging! That’s when I started focusing on steady heart rates over pace, aiming to run between 70-80% of my max HR (which I manually calculated).

Imagine my excitement when Apple added HR zones to watchOS last year! Now my ideal run is not about speed but a straight heart line until the final sprint, and enjoying the whole run not just the finish.

Switching from pace-focus to heart-rate-focus reframed everything. Used to tap out at ~25mins but going slower makes it easy to do 60m.

Default assumption before was always try to run faster = heart works harder = surely better? Very science.

Turns out endurance is underrated

@justincox Love that. I set mine up to run from 11 to 7 am (want it to stay that way for a bit after I’m up.) I did only the colour filters, but I like your addition of the white point as well!

@justincox Ooh I should try this—was just thinking I need to give another good go at leaving my phone in another room at bedtime but maybe I should try this first!
