> maddogMy normal BP is closer to 140/90, and I still had problems with the decreased BP and heartrate on Nardil. I had real troubles getting going, especially if I started too fast, but I was able to run my regular routes, even a record (for me) of 10 miles one day. The Nardil was helpful in one respect in that it often made me feel cold, which seemed to help my endurance in warm weather, but in any event, I did not seem to have the cardiovascular output or overall efficiency to run as fast as I normally can. The weird weakness you describe I would generally only feel in the first quarter mile, but you may run faster than I do.
