Here are somethings I'm doing now to make it easier. ⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ Finding my many fans and making sure they're charged⁣ 2️⃣ Increasing my sodium intake ⁣ 3️⃣ Making sure I have plenty of @cure, my preferred electrolyte supplement⁣ 4️⃣ Getting back into the habit of using Tachymon, the app I use on my watch as pictured here. I have it set to notify me not only when my heart rate gets high, but also when it has changed by a fair amount. Here, it shows my heart rate is 150 and the change from my recent average (104) is 45.6.
