That’s pretty much what I do during. I’m slow anyway, so sometimes have to walk to get slow enough for relief. Once they start getting tight, it happens quicker each time I speed up. It’s one of those things where I’m not sure if I’m just being a wimp, or should just keep slowly building up time.

The last year I was running regularly I got diagnosed with exercise induced asthma. So I had gone years where my breathing and side stitches always got to me first. My legs were in decent shape because they had a very slow progression.

I did 3 half marathons in 4 years thinking I’d never be in good enough shape to talk and breathe. Now I can breathe for long enough to really feel it in my legs. It’s a new experience
