Is this normal? All the doctors say that it could be some autoregulation issue from the brain injury. That once I get to a certain level something isn't kicking in. Does anyone else have this problem a year out from their injury?

According to some web site...do not push yourself or the symptoms will return.
It might just be too soon for you to be running.
I cannot run either, and frankly at this time do not have the desire or stamina to run.
I do however enjoy the fact that I can walk again.good luck.
