I was convinced my morning 5-mile run was the only way to start the day, but my smartwatch showed my heart rate was way too high for 3 months straight.
My doctor basically told me I was stressing my body out every single morning instead of helping it. He said 'You're treating a workout like a punishment, not a recovery.' I switched to a 2-mile walk with some light stretching, and I feel ten times better by 9 AM. Has anyone else had a fitness routine they loved that was actually working against them?

Three months of a crazy high heart rate is a major red flag. Tarak79 is right about pushing too hard, but that's next level.
