My advice is stay off tarmac, concrete or steel surfaces. (I ran a lot on offshore helidecks. Not good.)

This is the advantage of living on the edge of "civilization", plenty of tracks to run along, lots of good scenery and plenty of wildlife. :)

Another 5 times tour winner, Miguel Indurain, had a resting heartrate of 28 BPM

In my twenties I used to run a marathon once a year. My resting pulse rate dropped down to 36 beats per minute. This caused me to go into a ventricular escape rhythm when I rested (eg going to bed). This caused a light thumping in my chest which interferred with sleep. I overcame this by running just that little bit faster which would paradoxically increase my pulse rate to just above the ventricular escape rate.
