Sorry to hear this was tough. HR runs are a bit of a muddle in truth. In theory you should be a member. But you’d probably get away with it. At the moment cos I’m not leading the Sunday run is a little bit hit and miss, as to who leads and who runs, but the routes are normally quite straight forward allowing you to loop back, and often half the runners are those I coach so plenty to talk about if you were running at the same pace as someone else. I’ll keep you in the loop. There’s a really good Sunday group that do 90 mins (not HR, but led by Paul who I coach) but they run at 9 min milling, so at the moment a bit too quick, but hopefully if you continue to improve you could run with them come the spring/summer. Really well done for still getting the 2 hours done, despite feeling a bit off.
