Q&A

When did you start noticing improvements during your math training?

Around two and a half to three months into my math training, I started experiencing significant improvements in my running performance.

Are your current math paces slower than before?

Yes, my current math paces are slower compared to winter, mainly due to the hot and humid summer conditions.
