Hi. For those who run (obviously everyone here ) feel that running help to reduce high blood pressure?

I have higher blood pressure due to genetics in my family. My eldest brother who don't exercise regularly need to take medicine to lower his BP. Another elder brother who didnt take any medication and had ran a sub 4 marathon timing 10 years ago also hover at 140 and he still exercise regularly but not in running . Whereas I managed to go slightly below 130 for now . Sometimes I could go below 120 and usually in the morning and especially when I am hungry . My bp can be as high as 165 and I still feel normal and didn't feel discomfort at all..

it is more accurate to measure my bp before I slept and what is the proper way and time to measure BP?

I have low bp and low heart rate ..

I would slowly build up my long run mileage and run those slower if I were you.

Don't need to over-exert those especially if you aren't racing 21.1k. Use the long run as a way to build base for 5-10k

Yeah....probably not used to running longer distance runs and i over mileaged too often too soon. 4.45 pace actually i started off in zone 2 for the first few 2-3 km, basically it was supposed to be a (long) tempo run at steady state which is up to 60 min time....but of coz i over ran the distance a bit i guess + too soon.
After got a bit of joint/bone pain starting i just cut the distance back to 10-11 or 12km which is safer and after that in June we all received the info that it is virtual this year then just cut these longer runs out totally. :ROFLMAO:

My base is supposed to be mainly through cycling (i can milk more improvements from this discipline). Also for practical reasons, a bit stupid to train for base via both running and cycling, might not even help aerobically and just build fatigue while increasing injury risk (eg like those > 3hr long runs for marathon training.

Yeah correct......actually for any future 10k training i think can just do 60 mins or 70 mins max, enough for me.
They'd better bring back 2025 AHM @ $20! (we are not eligible for any of those NS credits / payouts so this is the only way :ROFLMAO: )

After CNY i think folks here can start training liao, for me is i start in May i guess.

No foreseeable race in the near future except SCSM 2025 which is so far away. It is off season for me now. I have set TAO to maintenance mode.
Will be doing a lot of free and easy runs. Zone 2 (not even near LT1) runs to various hawker centre and maybe some trail or bedok reservoir runs as these will allow me to break into pause at various traffic stops. When I was with TAO training for SCSM, these pauses are strictly not allowed and it will affect the algorithm of the AI. It takes aways some of the 'fun' part of running which I intend to compensate during this maintenance season.

Daily creatine dose will also reduce to 2.5g a day. This will stretch my dollar.
