Two cameras, CPU usage is very low (NPU spikes when there’s movement). I suspect I could add more without too many problems.

I have it running on an Orange Pi 5 with the Rockchip NPU, very impressed with that being supported and working so well for object detection.

I didn't follow any training plans to get up to the half marathon distance. Once I'd finished the C25K plan I decided to see what 10K felt like and it was ok... did a few of those and then tried 15K. At that point I figured I could do a half and entered one. Although I didn't follow a plan I do keep an eye on my GPS watch to see what pace I'm doing - if I'm planning a long run I'll hold back the pace from what I know I can run so I don't tire myself out.

I think training plans depend a lot on what you're wanting to do - I just wanted to complete the distance; I could probably do it faster with a proper training plan but I've found running without worrying about time (too much) to be enjoyable (and I have still got respectable results for my age).

Couch to 5K (C25K) is another run/walk training program, which is very popular here in the UK. Even the NHS (https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/couch-to-5k-week-by-we...) promotes it.

I started with a C25K plan in November 2020 and ran my first half marathon in October 2021. I'm looking at marathons now, it's changed my level of fitness far more than I could imagine.
