>Advice for new runners:- Build up speed and mileage SLOOOOOWLY (start with 15 minutes, increase mileage at most 10% per week);- It will feel like you're going slow, you are; don't worry about setting good times for a couple of months;- If you start to feel pain anywhere, stop and rest;- Don't try to copy what pros are doing. Do what feels natural; and- Once you can comfortably roon 6 miles/10km, start thinking about a goal in terms of race distance and time, and look for a training plan for that goal (see below for suggested plans).>Couch to 5k/Bridge to 10k Guideshttps://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/running-and-aerobic-exercises/get-running-with-couch-to-5k/https://i.imgur.com/ef98R.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/qNJIy.png>I want to run a fast 5k, 10k, half-marathon, or marathonhttps://www.runningfastr.com/https://www.halhigdon.com/Comment too long.

>>77059264I would do this at my 10k pace or maybe even a bit fastersounds like you went too slow
Calf is sore to touch and walking around there is no pain but it doesn't feel right. But feels normal when running. As soon as I stop it feel dodgy walking around again. Don't like this at all. Afraid to run faster than snail's pace.
Chest strap bugged out / didn't make good contact yesterday and decided it's reasonable for me to be almost 10 beats over max heart rate.

>>77060396They're unhealthy because of nutrient lack but they sent drop because they're arteries get acked with all that keto fat
>"Real keto has never been tried!"Every single time keto has poor outcomes for someone, like clockwork. It's astonishing how mentally deranged ketolards are.The only thing keto was good for (weight control for people who are hopeless at standard dieting) has disappeared now that the GLP/GIP drugs exist.Actually I take that back. It's also good for the schizophrenic diabetic obese living in group homes who are too mentally deficient to take their meds properly. That seems to be 90% of /fit/ these days.
When you go from eating a slop diet to eating keto I'm sure your whole digestive system will quickly start to feel a whole lot better. Assuming you're cooking high quality food and not slop with Keto stamped on the package. Plus people tend to pair diets with exercise routines and generally better life habits and may attribute more of the benefits to the diet than is realistic.
This simple fact makes fatties seethe.

>>77058710why would i want anyone to save my original masterpiece you chronic shart smuggler?
>>77058715thanks i appreciate you
>>77059503>why would i want anyone to save my Because you're creatively bankrupt but wanted validation, that's the only explanation for your actions, that's the only reason why you didn't repost the existing meme, and went out of your way to remake it, because you're deeply fucked up.You saw a meme, thought it was funny, and wanted to be its creator. Saving and reposting it wasn't going to cut it with whatever brain problems you were experiencing.You looked up different images for the food and hand, made the edit, saved the picture, and thought, "how do I go about posting it now?"So giddy were you with your copy of someone else's joke you couldn't wait for an appropriate moment to present itself, you decided to make a thread for it.

every time i warm up with a skipping rope it ends up with me tossing the thing across the room in frustration
>>77060391Have you tried to git gud?
>>77060391Get a minimal shoe with a hard, flat sole, same shoe is good for squats. Make sure rope is right length, many vids on this topic. Use a weighted rope so you can feel it. It is hard to do in beginning. Very hard if you are heavy but stay with it. HIIT on rope, plus weights gave me 600 natural T and I am in my 50s, never was high T before as far as I know. A cheat code.

Genuinely, why do some people so desperately want things like diet soda and ozempic to be bad for you?It's like they want to live in some rpg where everything good has some sort of catch. Like boomers saying video games cause violence
>>77060347>I can't speak for anyone else but I hate this and sugar-alternative foods and drinks in general because they taste like chemicals.Pretty much this.>>77060349>This is because you are genetically inferiorLol. No need to be so angry, little brown man.

>>77060447>Jews control the food supplygood thing obesity is fixed by not eating then
It tastes like poisonous chemicals and is astringent. I'd rather take my chances and drink sea water than that slop if I was stranded in the middle of the ocean.
>>77060337Video games DO cause violence you fucking chud. First person shooters are literally combat simulators. Literally.

I been sleep deprived and underweight working from 19 to 21, how do i grow taller now?I want to start dating and i want/need to be taller
>>77059898Nope. Better start grinding for that 100k. Also the older you get the higher the chance for compliications of the surgery, so waste no more time

>>77047286I do this all the time for work with a 5 gallon bucket of paint in each hand. Trekking through mud, loose sand, steps, many yards, multiple reps usually.Don't see any point in doing it. Especially with dumbbells. With the paint buckets arguably at least the swinging low center of gravity and going through uneven surfaces actually forces your core to engage. Doing it "the proper way" is just lame and retarded as fuck and you're larping.
I did this two days ago because of this thread and unironically my quads are kinda sore. Anybody knows why?
>>77047655Can confirm.
>cardio girl in gym was occupying my bench>whatever, just do dumbbell curls or some shit>glances at the bench>she is doing weightless squats and not even using the fucking bench>next workout>she is now doing fucking hip thrusts>and then she just fucks off to do another 30 minutes of cardio because why notWhy even go to gym at that point? You are wasting money on shit you can do at home.

They always have norwood 0s especially if they're american, always over 6 foot and always have perfect bone structures and natural athleticism that allow them to perpetuate the narrative that "YOU CAN BE JUST LIKE ME BRO!" but the reality is you wont be. If you are one of those fat guys with strong bones and strength, you're already basically set for life by putting the cheeseburger down.Even if they have loose skin, the girls will lap that shit up based on his looks, if you aint genetically good looking there's no point losing it. If you're a hunchbacked, limp wristed dysgenic freak. You're basically doomed to begin with. If you look like me, 5 foot 8, 320lbs and basically bald already in your late twenties, you're fucked. Why should I bother losing the weight and getting a job? I'm never going to be a poster child. Saw a video of this obese dude on youtube talking about his mother's abuse. First comment said "boy you got predator eyes, just lose the weight and you'll be gorgeous!" whethers I had a cashier tell me my beard looked like something a kid grew out to look older earlier tonight while buying cigarettes. Some people just have negative attention that follows them around.I was going to try and better myself this week but I caved in after 2 days because what's the point? I've already lost the genetic lottery anyway, can't build muscle and have extremely weak and skinny limbs. So fuck everything.
>>77059734>I'm a fag, an essay by turboretard mc Homosteinshave your head and get over your vanity
>>77059734The thing you dont get is that those guys and the people gaslighting you arent telling you those things to help you and they're not being genuine about your potential. They're either acting narcissitically so that they can "see i told you" once you've went great lengths for a decade to solve problems others wont even face, or are being sarcastic or just say whatever motivational bullshit to make you fuck off since it's not socially acceptable to call out fake positivity

What are y'all reading between sets at the moment?
>>77058721Got 50 pages into the hunchback of Notre Dame before realizing how topical it was to read a book where the antagonist's motivation is that he can't get over a girl, the month after I got dumped as I wanted things to get serious and she did not.Finished the book, it's fucking great, turns out everyone's motivation is unrequited love, and the only character that doesn't end up dead or miserable is the guy that can deal with rejection, and knows when to pick goat over girl.Helped me get over it just in time for valentines day ads to show up everywhere.
>>77058721I don't read between sets, but I do read a lot outside the gym.I just finished The Autistic's Guide to Self Discovery. It was really good, and I'm looking forward to the ADHD version coming out later this year. Now that I've finished that diversion, I'll get back to Ride the Tiger and finish that. Then, I'm thinking maybe something about architecture. I'm very interested in the idea of changing the way we approach housing here in the US to be more sustainable without living like filthy hippies. We could do a lot at the design phase to improve sustainability without dramatic cost increase, like building into the land, planning food forests instead of huge lawns, adjusting positions of buildings relative to sunlight, etc etc. I feel like I should have more "building fundamentals" to get a better grasp of it.
>>77059196>Sperm WarsI thought you were jesting bit it's real. Sounds promising, thanks for the recommendation!The description reminds me of The Way of Men for some reason. I highly recommend it.
>>77058721I'm really enjoying it. My first Pynchon novel, and I will be reading more.
>>77058721>reading between setsPost body. I'm willing to bet there is nothing about your body that says you lift heavy enough for those kinds of rest periods. Also, anyone who does this looks fucking retarded.>>77059074>people who obsess over "high tier" literature are just faking it to sound coolYup. The furth from the times they were written in the less believable it is people really like that crap. There isn't a single original classic in existence that isn't mind numbingly borning.
Are ab workouts a waste of time?
>>77059412You speaking from experience?
>>77059282No, I do weighted dragon flags and they were the reason I have a 6 pack even though I'm probably 16% body fat.I do 3x12 with 30lbs and it's hard as fuck but my abs look amazing. I'm really excited to cut to see how they look with less flub.
>>77059282>Are ab workouts a waste of time?i honestly suspect that retarded women spamming ab workouts (along with "abs are made in the kitchen" becoming the new mantra) has caused an insane overcorrection where people swear you should never ever touch your core, and that passively training them via other movements is enough.i think it goes too far. imo, a heavily trained core will always look a thousand times better than some guy who did nothing other than leaning out
>>77059282>Are ab workouts a waste of time?For some people yes, for others no
>>77059478Yea straight people are fat
