If course I was referring to Gobi's Mum in my earlier post. Seems a good theory Pam runs. If you can easily go over distance then it's psychological helpful too. Good luck with it . 3.5 miles (nothing changed really) but I just can't do much different yet and still no improvement on how many seconds running I can cope with. The medication has slowed my resting HR but I need my HR to level out/ stabilise when I exercise. |

Yesterday’s run was a combination of medium-long run and progression run, calling for 65 mins easy pace, 15 mins faster pace, then 15 mins easy warm-down. I run/walked the first 65 mins, which I think helped me avoid overcooking myself in the heat. I wasn’t sure how it would be, flicking the switch to the faster pace 65 mins into the run, but it felt pretty good and I can see where the physiological and psychological benefits come from this sort of training, whether it’s over a medium-long or shorter distance.

That was a good session F. Chicken and practicing running/walking at a faster pace brings results! Well done on your club run lin50. Just 2.4 miles this morning and on one occasion I was able to run continuously for a minute! |

Well done steve45. I guess that's the trade-off at the moment: shorter distance overall, but running continuously for longer, which sounds promising!

Pam runs
@steve45 a full minute is a massive increase for you. Nice one. Do you go back for treadmill tests after a few months to see if tablets are helping or is it just down to if you feel they are?

Thanks Pam runs. I have a face to face with the consultant COVID specialist at the end of July. My own observations will be important combined with her tests there and then. Depending on what's identified I guess she'll decide whether to have another exercise stress test done. My observations are not merely "perceived" but those from my chest belt HRM and pace...and how long I can sustain running for . This last couple of days has seen a change HR at test as well as recovery so something's happening! Did 5 miles with my wife this morning managing well compared with recent weeks. |

parkrun yesterday was supposed to be 1.5miles easy, then run hard for the rest. However, ended up running with a friend who needed a chat, so it was an easy pace with random walk breaks. This morning’s 10K race : Garmin 10K training plan for first 4 miles all done at 60:30 : 2.5 miles easy (ran a bit harder than easy pace) 1 mile steady 0.5 miles hard Then changed to 30:30 for the rest of the run. Official time 1:07:45 so fairly happy with that (target was sub 1:10). |
