Hi Ed,

So far this week, I mainly kept my running pace from easy to steady. I notice I’m starting to run a bit quicker while running at 140s BPM. Probably not as good when I was my best but I got a feeling I’m not too far away. I also realise my resting heart rate reading is a lot lower recently. Over the last few weeks, it was mostly in the high 40s BPM but this week it got to as low as 41 BPM. Looks like I’m ready to start a cycle.
