Every time I directly check the replies to my own tweets, up to 50% of them are new to me and didn't show up at all in notifications.

Twitter is having lots of small, subtle system failures, but this one seems egregious.

Whole conversations left hanging! Sacrilege!

If I re-listen it feels like being back at the exact physical location.

Reverse works too. I can run a route years later and specific places trigger podcast memories.

Embodiment is wild.

Best part about listening to podcasts on a run is the strong visual-spatial memory linked to points in the pod.

Ideas live at locations. A point about debugging tools lives at the brick bridge. An idea for spatial interfaces goes with the blue corner house.

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

If you currently dislike running because it's hard & it hurts you might be doing it wrong! Get a HR strap/watch and lots of audiobooks and slow jog like you're 80.

Disclaimer: I don't race. I'm not a marathoner. I'm just want to have a good time and optimise longevity/QOL.

I've been running wrong for a decade 🤦‍♀️

It turns out if you run slower. Like, much slower. You enjoy it more, run for longer, and improve all the good health shit and mental joy that running is for

Used to aim for 5m/km average. Now I just try to keep HR around 150 BPM...
