THC Cardio Endurance Effects
THC cardio endurance effects can raise heart rate and RPE at the same pace—night-before use may lower next-day HRV and zone 2 efficiency.
THC cardio endurance effects raise heart rate and variability in some users—making zone 2 feel harder at the same pace and blunting pacing discipline in long efforts. Bronchodilation myths do not justify smoking before runs; pulmonary irritation harms endurance athletes.
Occasional edible use the night before can still lower morning HRV. CBD without THC lacks the same tachycardia pattern at typical doses.

Perceived ease can rise while cardiac drift and mis-pacing rise—track pace, HR, and next-morning HRV instead of vibes alone on long runs.
