Or late 50s onwards.

I get faster after 3km. How sia. Like that is normal also ah? First 1km 6.40.. towards last around 5.40.. although only 6km. Normally ppl is run fast then middle peak and end slow one.

My usual easy days are 1st 5min slow warm up, then after is constant pace and HR all the way. Maybe I am abnormal. LOL.

Highly possible due to covid. Rather then total rest，why not reduce load and slowly increase back your mileage.

Better to reduce frequency of workouts, intensity or duration?

Did a 15 km last week. But walked like mad after my knees hurt lol

Frequency maintain.
Intensity, duration, and RPE reduce. End your run easy run without any hint of shagness.

Built your base with lower mileage first. Half the distance and slowly progress little by little.

Nowadays, I need to run maybe 2km, slowly, or brisk walk then can have totally no shagness. I don't know what happen when just 2 years ago, I was doing a sub 25min 5km (I know not so impressive for seasoned runners, but good for my standard).

Bo pian, got to built back from beginners level slowly. Covid is a very damaging disease. I kenna before, 2020. Took more than a year to built back.
YOu have three session a week. Just dedicate one of session to do run til shag with higher intensity. The other two sessions, easy runs that can sweat it out but no shagness.

Above 40 like us, usually is CAD that result in MI (HEart Attack) There was a time prior to Covid in my late 40s, I carry three tabs of aspirin whenever I go out for my run. But it was such a chore that I don't do it anymore , cause the aspirin package will break over time, and expose the content. Then got to replace new ones.

So for those who scare of MI resulting CAD, can carry aspirin. No need to confirm if it's heart attack, just sudden chest discomfort, don't care just take the three tabs.

But I still think if the plaque rupture, doesn't need to be exercise to trigger it. When it's time, it rupture. Mainly early in the morning, so regardless exercise, pang sai in the morning, wake up on the bed, it'll just come.

For my mum coz of the hypothyriodism associated risks for heart we do have 1 pack of the 100mg aspirin at her house and mine and in purse. Just standby. 30 tabs per box, plenty for standby.
Not just heart attack, but even for strokes......but of coz as usual need to be able to recognise symptoms properly first and foremost.
Sublingual absorption works really fast......as fast as 5 mins so that is even faster than SCDF ambulance which would be 11 mins for most calls iirc. (which in many cases probably also administer that do basic life support and then convey to hospital anyway)

Think best approach is not to have any expectations, just walk and jog and enjoy it. As to how you can enjoy it, really gotta think about how it can work for you. Lower intensities, no need 3 times a week, 6-7 days a week also can as it's low to moderate intensity. Of coz build it up gradually with the days and mileage.

Enjoying it really can get you different outcomes. If you ask me to think about it as exercise, i also cannot, wont be so consistent sure have excuses.

Consider cross training.

Add swimming, cycling, vertical, etc

Take it easy. Last time I fractured my feet also took very long to recover. Sign up for a run and for a start just aim to complete first?
