As someone just returning to running after many years, do you guys have any suggestions on setting a running rhythm/pace when running by yourself?
I do an occasional run with a partner and have no problems running 30-45 minutes at a good pace. But when I try running alone, I can't seem to find my rhythm--that comfomfortable "zone" I get when I run with a partner or group.
I tried to listen to music, hoping that will help me manage a steadier pace, but the music pumps me up too much and I end up going too fast at the beginning and then fading after about 20 minutes!!!
