Slow running. [View all]
Saw an article promoting it. Kind of what I’ve been doing for the last few years.
After watching the Women’s 10,000 meter race, thought I’d go for 6 miles. Took my time and did it in close to 90 minutes. About 3 times what they ran it in. But, I’m 74, about 3 times their age. Weigh 190 lbs, about twice their weight and have a pacemaker.
Found a great NP that lowered my blood pressure meds to the lowest possible and now I’m no longer getting dizzy when I stand up. Took my pressure about an hour after my slow run and it was 116 over 64.
Feeling great.
