      I am 46 and was in the ICU a couple months ago with super high blood pressure and a false alarm for a stroke. Up until last week, I hadn’t ran for proper exercise in 20 years:

      I can push myself to two miles, but it hurts. It only took a couple of months to work up to this point, so that was cool.

      But still, if he wants to show off that he is doing just a little better than a 46 year old with cardiovascular issues he can go right ahead. I ain’t going to yuck anyone else’s yum, but a comparison needed to be made.

      Edit: Fitbit doesn’t separate workout types that well without planning ahead and configuring a workout routine. “Lap 2” was a running mile, and the rest of the laps are walking.

      Does it really matter how good or bad at running he is? At least he’s doing more than a lot of people and he isn’t morbidly obese like half of them these days.
