Hi All,
About Me
36 years old and quite active but not massively fit
Did my first sprint triathlon about a month ago in a stupidly slow time of 2hrs 10 mins
I don't cycle much these days as I have no indoor set up or space, and I'm really busy with work
Running
I started running about 10 months ago but quite inconsistent. I can now run 5k most days if I wanted, and sometimes 10k 2-3 times a month if needed.
I am slow, I run a 5k in about 32 minutes.
I have a Garmin Fenix 6 and a Wahoo HR strap to go with it. I noticed when I first go it that when out on a "normal" run, my HR was about 170-180. I now know that this is in the very high range.
On another run, I tried to slow RIGHT down and it was still about 160.
Today, I went out:
Today whilst running, I don't think I could have gone slower, it was almost embarassing, as I was jogging but barely moving anywhere.
Any advice?
Any thoughts on this? My resting HR is about 55 bpm, my top is 185bpm.
Thanks all

Today, I went out:
- I was running about 12 mins per mile at times
- I covered only about 2.5 miles before I stopped as my HR was just continually going up and I was stopping so often
- I stopped running anytime my HR went about 150 which was every 40-45 seconds roughly
- After about 10 seconds of walking I started to run again
