New to running, have been at it since August or so.
I've managed to slowly get to a place where I've got my heart rate down and manage to run every other day pain free. A mixture of dynamic warm ups, yoga, foam rolling and strength exercises have really helped. I thought running would take less time than cycling. Apparently not! I had the cardio from cycling but it's totally different. Managed 100km total last month which I was pretty chuffed with. I know a lot of folk around here could do that in one outing!
One questions tho. I find it really hard to run easy at a high cadence. Is there any trick to this? On tempo runs I'm at around 170 but on really slow runs I can be as low as 150. I'm built like a giraffe (6'5) which probably doesn't help.
