The first 10 mins or so is really your warm up, then you feel better! |

Yeap, same here! The first mile is always a killer no matter what I do but fine after that. |

Always laugh about this with my Sister and my wife who both run. First mile or so thinking.why am I doing this? I hate running, Im going back. I never do but always think it/ feel it. Its a weird one. Normal. |

It takes me a couple of miles or so to feel ok. I'm resigned to it now |

yep same here I take out a beginners group and for the first few weeks they never run longer than 10 mins (walk/run) - so I am constantly telling them this - and assuring them once they get past this stage it will start to feel better they just need to see this through for another wee bit |

I can pretty much lay down a formula for my runs: Out the door, no warm up, feel fine. Two minutes in my left plantar really starts to twinge (I've tried stretches, it really doesn't help). Three and a half minutes in, it feels file. For the first three minutes my HRM claims my heart rate is 210! And then jumps down to a comfortable 140/150. Mile two to three I get really sweaty and the sleeves are rolled up as I start to overheat. Then it's plain sailing no matter whether it's a long/short/sprints/trundle. Until, about 1/2 mile from the finish when my brain starts telling me it's time to give up. That last half mile is always the killer. |

Yes, and it seems to getting further. Though, in my last 10k race, I started even easier than usual and noticed that I didn't really notice it. Though, I find that if I have a distraction eg running with someone and chatting, I don't notice it the same. |

I'm the same, the first two miles is normally rubbish with lots of panting, that's probably why I don't enjoy 5k's |
