Hi, I had a similar issue with running; I could cycle 100 miles in one day, but couldn't run for one minute. This is what solved it: I hypothesized it may have something to do with the up and down 'jumpy' body movement during running, that it may have to do something with my brain getting wrong signals or something. So I started running on a treadmill, first for one minute, 10 km/h only, no inclination, and trying to run as smoothly as possible avoiding that up and down 'jumping', moving my feet as low above the surface as possible, positioned my treadmill in front of a mirror and checked whether my head was jumping or staying relatively on the same level (it's always a little up and down but it's got to be smooth!). After a week I could run for 2 minutes and soon it became 10 minutes and now I can run at 12 km/h for an hour!! I took me a couple of months to get there - after 40 years of hating running :)
