My running philososphy is based on the principle of low heart rate running, known as Maximum Aerobic Function (MAF). By keeping my heart rate within a specific range, I can build endurance while reducing the risk of injury and overexertion. The focus is on long-term health and sustainable progress rather than speed or competition.

Before my heart attack, despite being dedicated to the gym, I had a habit of stress eating, which led to high cholesterol. I'm sharing these links in the hope that they might help others take preventative steps before they face a similar situation.
