Get scheduled time of current cronjob task inside scheduled function

Question

I want to access the scheduled time of the current task inside the scheduled function.

I have attempted in https://go.dev/play/:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"

    "github.com/go-co-op/gocron/v2"
)

func main() {
    s, _ := gocron.NewScheduler()
    defer func() {
        _ = s.Shutdown()
    }()

    var j gocron.Job
    j, _ = s.NewJob(
        gocron.DurationJob(
            time.Second,
        ),
        gocron.NewTask(
            func() {
                fmt.Println(j.LastRun())
            },
        ),
    )
    s.Start()
    select {}
}

However, the printout is

timeout running program
0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC gocron: job not found
0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC gocron: job not found
0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC gocron: job not found
0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC gocron: job not found
...

Moreover, I'm not sure if this is the proper way to fetch the scheduled time of the current run.
