>>1981989Yeah, I always end up dripping, either sweat or soaking rain or both. And I do believe there's some truth in that, especially the warming up part. I do very much remember being slow when starting out and that upset me much, so I always gave it all I had. Soon I was actually fast. Next thing the knee issues started. Those became crippling eventually and pain was the new limiting factor. Now there's hip issues and other shit too and I consider myself to be in a detrained state. Not all the way back to slow but you know ...
It's just a load of shit. So for anyone starting out: Take it slow, improve slow. Do stretch. Do responsible strength training. Put rest days in between if your schedule somehow allows. A volleague of mine simply takes the bus every other day. Try to hard and it might eventually backfire.
