"Warm Up Angina?" Seriously? (Read 118 times)

    OK, I admit it: I just went out to Runner's World (I'm desperately avoiding a boring task at work). The "Ask a Sports Doc" section featured a guy wondering why he starts feeling good about 5 miles into his runs - things get easier, he speeds up, and everything just flows better.

     

    The doc's reply? His symptoms are concerning symptom and he should see his doctor.

     

    Excuse me? I very often feel better after a few miles. Hell, on some crappy LR days I don't really get into the groove until the 10-mile mark. When I'm not overtrained, my pace is almost always faster in the second half of a run than the first - particularly with shorter- and medium-distance runs.

     

    I've always assumed this happens to everyone. No?
