Anyone run here?
I recently started running again after a 20+ year hiatus (apart from jog-trotting when late and walking). I've not been totally sedentary; some cycling on and off - though despite a recent renovation of my bike not too much recently; more walking - mostly brisk (4.5-5mph (7.2-8km/h)) and some long distances (20-40 miles in a day).... but I have certainly lost something from my ability to run comfortably.
My legs want to run much faster than I can manage within my heart rate maximum... though I am well within my ability to breathe and talk when sustaining this effort for 20+ minutes. (Which seems odd... as I definitely cannot when making the same "effort" on the bike).
Done two parkruns so far ~ 5km timed 'fun' runs and seen a noticeable improvement in comfort and pace on the second, even though I also had a higher average and maximum HR.
Just wondered whether we had many other runners on the boards?
