I went running this morning. It's damp and a bit blustery so not ideal conditions but I did 3.2km in 18m10s. That works out at 5.7mins/km which isn't too bad. Lets put it this way, if I could run 5km in 25 minutes I would be delighted at this point. The bad news is that I am doing it in almost continual pain. It became very noticeable around

What's the surface? I find I can run 3 miles on the treadmill, run most of that (with little walking breaks) on trails, but if I run on pavement or tarmac, it just hurts.

Mostly tarmac

Try to run on something softer?

It's not really an option where I live
