- No not entirely serious. Yeah, if I'm lazy on warm up and down, my thighs can ache a bit but that's entirely my fault. I know they say "it doesn't get easier, you just get faster" but I'm not getting either.
My right knee started giving me a load of grief about 18 months ago so I stopped running and started cycling a lot. I'll do 40 to 50 km rides on a mountain bike on 2.125 tyres 3 or 4 times a week so basic fitness is there but if I do a 6 or 8k run I'm a. Still really slow and b. absolutely fucked...
I'm convinced my problem is fuel - eating at the wrong time, or in the wrong way - before or after a run. However, the only advice I can find online is for your Marathon Prep type runners and I'm just an amateur, trying to keep fit and lose some weight...
