Surely I should at least be able to get all the way around without having to stop or slow down even for the tiny bit up the steps from the beach; and make it to the end without collapsing into a quivering, panting heap.<\/p>\n<p>For me that 2.6 mile run is still harder than 1000m swimming or the 17 mile sprint circuit on the bike I try to fit in during the rest of the week. I come out of the pool and I could go the same distance again if I had the time, probably at the same pace. I get off the bike and heart rate is back to normal inside 5 minutes. I get back from the run and I have to lie on the floor and drip for 3 minutes before I can think about stretching.<\/p>\n<p>I must be doing something wrong, surely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been really good with the running &#8211; at least twice a week since I moved apart from that time when I was really creamed in the knee department.
