I tried Quizlet for many months, but actually just recently switched to Anki. The Quizlet UI looks better on the surface, but Anki's UI is faster and more... utilitarian.

Exactly! I don't understand how his heart rate is below 100 when running 10 kilometers (he says).

He says about his heart rate that it's "below 100 if I run 10 kilometers". That seems pretty amazing to me. I've been measuring my heart rate recently and mine's at about 150 bpm if I run at a medium pace.
