I arrived at the meeting spot, of course, 20 minutes early, wearing my Hoka and compression socks, post light warm-up, resting heart rate 42. She showed up 5 minutes late, wearing H&M leggings and some casual walking shoes from a REI.

I suggested a classic 12 km training loop at conversational pace (4:40/km), but she said she doesn’t “run that much” and just wanted to do a couple of laps around the park. Alright, I thought, let her have it.

We started easy. My watch showed 6:30/km pace, heart rate in Zone 1, basically active recovery. After 500 meters, she said she needed to walk because she’s “not quite in shape yet.”


After 1.8 km, she said that was her max and asked if we could sit on a bench. We sat. She was sweating like she’d just run a marathon, I was cooling off with an electrolyte drink, heart rate back down to 45.
