<h1><strong>After Run Reflection:<br />
</strong></h1>
<p>All data above is generated with my <a href="https://the5kpledge.wordpress.com/2018/03/14/garmin-sapphire-fenix-3hr-review-expensive-and-unreliable/">Garmin Sapphire 3HR.</a></p>
<p>This run was completed with my beloved. We were running in a park. Crowds were dense, and there were some hilly sections that allowed us to put our altitude, and decline running to the test.</p>
<p>According to my girlfriend, I ran downhill with loud &#8220;stomps.&#8221; She advised I soften my feet when I am running decline. After this run, my knees felt sore. I think the pain is stemming from my decline running form.</p>
<p>Another opportunity for growth is managing my software: I accidentally stopped my Garmin watch during this run. Read my review of the Garmin Fenix Sapphire 3HR here.</p>
<p>Lastly, another task will be to research the pollution in Shenzhen, and how it impacts my lungs while I am running. I might need to look at the pollution levels during the day, pick times where the pollution shows a pattern of being at its lowest level.</p>
