Do you have AFib, by any chance? Congratulations on your streak, regardless.

EDIT: in another comment, you mentioned:

> I needed a cardiac ablation a couple of years ago

So I guess that's a yes? Was that when you were averaging 5.3 miles daily that one year? For those unaware, there's a well-established link between excessive endurance exercise and AFib.

Not AFib thankfully, I had a few sporadic SVTs while running (it’s however unclear whether exercise was the original cause, or if it was congenital and started manifesting while running).

Thankfully the ablation took care of them and I haven’t had an episode in a few years.

Thanks for your reply, and good luck with your streak and your SVT staying in remission.
