Did a lot of running when younger, both track and XC and was a pretty decent runner.
Now although I have done a lot of walking over the years, I haven't trained/or run for maybe 15 years. I have however been cycling a bit over the last 6 months.
So tried parkrun today and the legs were like dead weights, I was pretty much at back of pack running with the OAPs. You would think that with the cycling my legs should have built up a bit. Maybe all those years of no training have meant that this is all I will ever manage. Should I just keep plugging along and see if the strength in legs builds up.
Legs are so stiff and painful when running. I stupidly thought just because I was a runner all those years ago that I should be able to pick it up pretty easily. I have decent trainers also.
