Pace, distance, and night gear
In one of the activities logged by the artist, he completed a distance of 8.2 km in 49 minutes and 26 seconds, maintaining an average pace close to 6:00 min/km. To fit his workouts into his schedule, Khalifa bought safety gear for night running, including a headlamp and reflective clothing.
Even as a beginner in the sport, the rapper has already recognized the importance of rotating footwear depending on the day's stimulus. Wiz Khalifa realized the need for distinct models for running, weightlifting, and recovery sessions, reaching out directly to sportswear brands for gear.
Pre-workout and the debate over substances in sports
Another detail that caught attention during the artist's new phase were comments suggesting he opts for an alleged "herbal pre-workout." The mention sparked a lighthearted discussion on Radar Stemma about how substances like cannabis and its derivatives impact aerobic performance and lung capacity, a topic the show has previously covered with runners such as marathoner Daniel Chaves.
