I ran my first half marathon in over 4 years this morning. I used the Garmin suggested workouts to train for the race and felt very well prepared. My default is just to do lots of easy miles when training, so I appreciated the various types of runs the watch suggested.

My initial goal when I signed up for the race was 1:45, and this morning my Garmin said I was in 1:42 shape. I went out with a goal of 1:40 and finished around 1:39:30, even with a slight detour that added about 2 tenths of a mile to my race. 😂

I'll have a pretty light week next week and think about what to train for next.

I've got a half marathon coming up in a few weeks (my longest race since a marathon in 2019). I'm near the end of my "peak phase" on my Garmin training plan so another week or two of highish mileage then a taper to the race.

My current goal is sub 1:45. My Garmin says I'm in 1:43:xx shape. I'm not sure how much weight to give the watch's prediction since I've only done 5K races so far this year.

This site has a crowd sourced list of apps that includes their compatibility on deGoogled Android devices.

Personally, I've had very few issues with apps not working, and banking/productivity apps haven't given me issues on CalyxOS, but your mileage may vary

I highly recommended Dragomino. Similar gameplay as Kingdomino, but without the building restrictions and the egg collecting introduces enough chance to level the playing field

I don't listen to anything while riding my bike. Since I'm going faster and am going with car traffic, I like to be as aware as possible. If I was riding somewhere away from cars, the calculation might be a little different.

I've had an HP Dev One with Pop!_OS for right about a year now. I've done plenty of hopping and testing of other distributions prior to last year, but started with Ubuntu in 2009/2010 and have always felt most comfortable with Debian based OSs.

How far is the drive to the train station? You could try going down to just a bike and train commute since the bike only commute is too far right now
