>Advice for new runners- Build up speed and mileage SLOOOOWLY (start with 15 minutes, increase mileage 10% per week)- It will feel like you're going slow, you are; don't worry about setting good times for a couple months- If you start to feel pain anywhere, stop and rest- Don't try to copy what pros are doing. Do what feels natural- 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/>I want to stretchhttps://www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/beginners/a32172701/how-to-stretch-post-run/>Performance calculatorshttps://runrepeat.com/how-do-you-masure-up-the-runners-percentile-calculatorhttps://runbundle.com/tools/age-grading-calculatorhttps://vdoto2.com/calculator/Previous: >>74045852
>>74071012Just eat banana or toast or a cereal/protein/Clif bar. These won't upset your stomach. Anything with fat will make it very painful to run.Personally I have banan and coffee, or banan+toast and coffee
Wash hts here....Do any of you guys actually do this?I'll admit it wasn't as miserable as I had expected, but definitely far far worse than an actual run along a path or something.
>>74071060It was nice that there were no hills, and the material of the track is springier and easier on the joints. But it really is an exercise in mental discipline to turn left for 50 minutes straight.
>>74071051I'll go with a banana and some toasts then. Thank anon.
roonbros, does anyone have experience with the salomon drx bliss?i think most running shoes are butt ugly, but these are HOT. and they seem pretty well suited to my needs.

How come lifting youtube has great iconic personalities and characters but running youtubers are all giganormie NPCs? I can't find a single decent channel.
>>74071731>he needs some e-celeb to tell him how to runThis is an adult sport sonny. Sorry there isn't someone in "the community" to keep you entertained as if you were a 5 y/o who needs constant stimulation.
>>74071731because running doesn't involve anything cool like lifting heavy weights or getting mires.
>>74071731because most people taking up running are either the most normie bland women or that awkward dyel stemcel that game-ifies his runs in a pathetic attempt at achievementsthe running crowd is made of the most boring middle-life crisis polite people
>>74071795Maybe true but you'd expect it would attract at least some people with more personality than wet cardboard.
>>74071851the most daring thing they will ever do is purchase neon orange colored pillow shoes
>>74071038Pre-wall females.
>>74071880As long as they look where they're going, they shouldn't run into any walls
does the garmin 255 music really have just a shitload of problems? their forum is full of headphone dropouts, having to reset for bluetooth, and just general stuff not working consistently. i usually use an old android but it's gps is dying so it's time to replace it.
>>74071731Lifting attracts narcissistic "look at me" blast and cruise types. A lot of the popularity is halo effect from having big muscles, if they looked like runners while lifting heavy you would not find their personalities interesting at all.
>>74071949yeah forget about the music on garmin watches. Spotify on phone will remain king
>>74071051Also replied to this in previous>is it advisable to just go running after waking up without eating anythingThat's what I usually do, makes a big difference if you ate well the evening before.
>>74071968Running with a phone sucks though, at the moment I just run with a tiny mp3 player if I want music/podcast but it would be handy to have something I can control from the wrist.
I'm about to go run a mile as fast as possibleI am athletic but have no running experience and am a boomerWill report back with my injuries in an hour or two
>>74072155please warm up anon.
It's starting to get hot out so I have to run either at night or in the shitty gym track.
>>74071968well that's disappointing. i was thinking it'd be neat to track heart rate and whatnot.
Hello /roon/ersI recently picked up running as a hobby and have some questions you might be able to help me with.Beforehand I was mainly into lifting/climbing/martial arts. I Started going out for runs more about a month ago. I figured that having a (attainable) goal would help me stay focused and have something to work towards. I would like to complete a half marathon in October and beat it with an “acceptable “ time (which time would that be?). To track my progress i bought a Garmin watch. There are race predictions on my watch, how accurate are those? Judging by my 5/10 Km time they are decently accurate, but i have never run that far so i couldn’t tell for the half marathon. The race prediction time is at 1:47:21.Given the time to prepare until then i would obviously want to improve. How much time can i shave off here? What is realistic? I would only able to run 2-3 times per week.>>74072084The music feature on my Garmin Fenix 7 works decently enough. I enjoy not having my phone with me, however you are quite limited with the watch compared to your phone. You can only play Playlists etc and don't have as many controls. I have rarely had any connection issues so far and i would recommend the feature.
>went from 1:36 half marathon to not be able to run 5k at 5/min pace in the space of 2 months despite running regularlyI've rested, done blood work, hydrate well before each run yet it doesn't seem to go back to normal. It's very disappointing and at this point I don't know what to do.
>>74072304>completely new to the hobby>wants to hop on the second hardest race in the discipline in a half of year>asks us what a "decent" time will be, because his video-game rotten brain and empty personality needs to chase numbers to fill the endless void of vanity>has severe anxiety about some stats the watch vomited for himanother stemcel joining the ranks with his bland goals, welcome to the club buddy!
>>74072084Just get a running belt and carry your phone. Even if you're not playing music from it, a 265 will allow you to control your phone's music playback and I presume the same applies to a 255 music.
>>74072352Nah, fuck carrying a belt and a heavy ass phone around just for some tunes.
>>74072348>>74071842
>>74072371Ah yes, ~150 to 200 grams for the phone and another ~100 for the belt worn around your hips is a massive weight dragging you down. It's surely noticeable and not within the daily variation on weight you'll have as a human.
>>74072348>second hardest race >what are ultramarathons???Also:Cant be that hard of a race if someone new to the hobby would be able to finish it without problems my friend :^)Obviously you have never amounted to much of anything if goals are alien to you, perhaps i can take you along this ride so you can get a taste of what it is like not to be a basement dwelling nigger relying on handouts and your parents mercy.
>>74072416literally, and I mean literally nobody including your mom and you dog, cares about ultra maratroonsdo people care about circus freaks? no
>>74072406It means you sweat around your waist and it's different to weight that's part of your body. It shouldn't be necessary to carry an entire computer with you when what you want is music. Plus you can't really use a touch screen while running.
>>74072443>do people care about circus freaks? noWhich would also explain why no one cares about you retard
>>74072348Why are you a gay nigger
>>74072451Good thing we established you can control it from your wrist, and you've never worn a running belt if you think it makes you sweat differently. The fact that a proper, or even chinkshit knockoff belt, stops the weight from bouncing around means that you actually will not notice it, especially since even a tiny music player will require a mounting system too unless you plan to hold it in your hand the entire time. Unless you're an idiot who insists on buying a phablet instead of an actually phone sized phone, your phone is a fine choice.
>>74072533Of course it will make you sweat differently, I've used several. The player I use is tiny enough that you can clip it to your shirt or pants, weighs maybe 5 grams at most. Carrying an entire phone is overkill unless you have some other reason for taking it.
>>74072613>weighs maybe 5 grams at most.Even an iPod shuffle, just as an example of an ultralight player even if Apple is always overpriced, weighs in at 12g and in exchange you're dealing with a screenless control system that will not be interfacing with your watch. Do you also insist on buying only the lightest weight running gear, since you're gonna have more then a hundred grams of weight across your clothing if not. The problem with running with your phone isn't the weight, it's that if you shove it into a pocket, it's uneven and not fixed whereas sticking it into a belt that properly holds it in place solves these issues.
>>74071038my god.not one sexually attractive femoid in this pic
>>74071731people who run for fun are all a bit mental imothink about it. on paper its insane, boring, physically toughwe all mentally ill
>>74072656The phone is obsolete if you have a watch that can play the music. Just let that anon enjoy his phone less time.

>>74072227>tfw it just snowed again
Well the news is in; I bruised my bone! Driving my heel up squished my Talus and bruised it. It will heal, but will take some time and exercise. But the good news? I can still run! Because I don't strike with my heel, it explains why walking to the gym is worse than jogging around. Just gotta take smaller steps and do my exercises, thank you based physio.The goal remains to keep pushing myself to a halt marathon, can do 10 k quite comfortably now, a pace of 4:30 per k
Today I ran, now I’m tired and sad.

>new shoes.come on saturday>just enough time to do a little break-in then blast a full long run on sunday and destroy my entire bodycan't wait bros
>>74074271>The less you weigh the betterIn the short term, yes. But you hit your strength/durability limit early and injure yourself out of the sport. Many such cases.
>>74071949I never had any of those problems
Run in gym.Yay or nay?
Running on a treadmill does NOT prepare you for running outside. I started running using a treadmill 3x a week for up to an hour. Now that the weather is better I've tried running outside 1x a week for less than 30 minutes. I'm already injured, my ankle is fucked and my calf immediately locks up 10 minutes into the run. I'm sure my cardiovascular system has improved, but my musculoskeletal system was not prepared. I need to ease into this slower.
ran 20 mins todayweek 9 c25k should be running 30 mins but I have been feeling weak for a couple of days and I have something planned for the next two days so I can't run then.
My knees are popping a ridiculous amount. No pain, just a lot of noise. How can I better take care of my knees?
>>74074731nay

>>74071968Nah my fenix 7x pro solar sapphire with music from my pirated collection is great. I use my headphones for volume control and occasionally skipping a song
>>74071138>>74071078track running is fun for time trials since you can go so much faster than you would on the streets or on a dirt pathrooning on that bouncy surface is FUNI do think you're crazy if you want to run more than like a 5k on it though as just some rando trying to git gud at running and not an actual athlete. Isn't the longest distance they run on an outdoor track in the olympics a 10k?
>>74072155I'm going to do this tonight on a track (if it actually stops raining beforehand and it's not slippery)hoping to get under 5:30

>>74077371All of your posts are the same anonWhy are you like this
I run Wednesday/Thursday/Saturday/SundayThis week was supposed to be (in miles) 10/6.5/12.5/6.2Due to poor planning on my part I was unable to run yesterday (Wednesday).If you were a running coach, would you tell me to just chalk yesterday up to a loss or just push my Wednesday/Thursday runs back to Thursday/Friday?

Pretty much the only way to get injured weightlifting is to be retarded and ego lift something you know you shouldn't be. Meanwhile, running threads are absolutely filled by people complaining of injuries from doing normal amounts of running. Is running worth it?
>>74077778Nah, it's the same with running. The thing is it's harder to tell what's "too much" when it comes to running because you body literally evolved to run so your body can push you way further than it can push you to lift heavy things. Also the runner's high can make you do stupid shit while also suppressing your pain, you don't get that kind of high from lifting.

>>74071038Lads sv3rige / Goatis ruined fitness and running for me. Is running actually very anti-nature and destroys your health? Not so fussed about running marathons but he said it shortens your life span even casual runningCan anyone prove different? I used to love running
Do you guys have friends that upvote your Strava runs?
>>74077469Very. Those stupid animals think it's a game and hop around you. Even if they mean well (you don't know it until they bite your leg) they can make you trip and fall.
>>74077900they already have numbers on them retard
>>74077469So its fenced in and you have to go through the actual fenced part?
>>74078066I redefined their numbers retardhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_(mathematics)

rooned>>74077989>>74078088I went through the dog park. It's very large, many acres, so it's semi-fenced in. There are some unfenced/ungated openings at the corners that I went through. Lots of soft gravel and mulch trails to run around on. Was still pretty early in the day, so not many dogs and they were well behaved. Only a couple even got close to me. Got to see lots of herons hanging around that part of the river there though, which was neat. I also have exciting news: I think the buns are officially out of hibernation. I saw 5 yesterday and 3 today. No little ones yet, but soon I think. Also, no baby ducks or geese yet....
>>74077970Upvotes are for my mom and uncle who both run.
>>74078224Same, but I did read a book about stress that said you were more likely to have a daughter if you roon too much (like 50+ mpw) because it lowers t. Something like from 48% to 62% odds of a girl
>>74078849If I'm doing a hard workout my T decreases temporarily. But if I do a Zen healing roon I get super horny, have to fuck or rub one out.

Is there a formula for choosing a half-marathon goal time based on current 10k PB and a training duration?For example I can run a 10k in 54 minutes. How should I choose a half-marathon goal time if I train for 12 weeks? What about 16 weeks?

>>74079860Don't be soft, anon.
>>74079859Okay, I’m just going to keep tacking on 10% mileage regardless of pace for now. Will roon tomorrow. From my little knowledge it seems like I just need to get out consistently, not get injured, and trust the process for my comparatively modest goals.
>>74081037Keep your runs easy as you add volume. Once you're up to the mileage you want, hold your mileage steady and you can start adding intensity
Rest day tomorrow
>>74077900based
>>74077900Please crop out the shitskin. Anyways, roll (I will get an 8)
Strained my soleus and physio said no running for 7-10 days at least and then slowly easing back into the mileage.Have a half marathon in exactly one month and my original training program had me increasing my runs each week until the race. I'm 50/50 if I'm going to even be able to do the race now but I want to give myself the best possible chance. What can I do for cardio? I have a spin bike but I struggle to get a high HR on it before my quads tire out. I'm thinking just banging out 2 hours a day on it and focusing on massage and calf raises (as directed by the physio) to give myself the best shot.Pretty fucking bummed though, until this week my program was going so fucking well. But we can't change the wind bros, we can only adjust our sails.
What should I look for in a pair of shoes for a complete beginner?I've had people recommend $300 shoes to me, but I'm not willing to drop that much money when I'm still unsure if I'll physically be able to keep running long-term.I have flat feet and pretty bad ankle mobility due to a tarsal coalition, do I just want to find some shoes that are as soft and springy as possible to counteract that?
>>74081224300 bucks is overkill, but you are going to probably be around 150 for a nice pair and it's well worth it. Buying the right shoes at the start took me from hating life the following day after a mile and half to being okay after multiple days of 2+ miles in a row. Go to a real running store near you, and tell the guy you're a beginner. If he recommends shoes to you before having you walk in front of him so he can see how you're walking, be polite but don't buy anything since they're fucking clueless. If you need ankle support, they make shoes like that. A good place to read read is https://runrepeat.com/, but you're probably going to be overwhelmed with the information and have no context for most of the metrics until after you've tried a decent pair and find what does and doesn't work for you.
>>74080873>5:18Nice, I hit same time on my workout Tuesday
>>74081271Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.But I should clarify that I mean $300 AUD.Like someone recommended me a pair of Saucony Endorphin Speed 4, which is $290 AUD ($184 USD). I have no problem spending that much money if I know I'll be able to keep running, my goal right now is just to get shoes that are good enough to prevent injuries for long enough that I can tell whether running will even be possible for me (so maybe 6 months, or until I can run 5km).
>>74081082What if I got up to say 10k mileage at whatever pace I can do it at, but then started adding 1 mile or 5k runs at faster pace? The long term goal is just a semi-decent 5k time, which I have been able to run (with a terrible pace) from day one.
>>74081309I like my Endorphin Speeds, but you want a daily trainer right now, not something with a plate in it. I'm currently using my Speeds as my "fast" shoe, while I have a pair of Hoka Cliftons that are my "recovery" shoe, which is more what you'll be wanting. There's some good options for cheaper shoes, look at https://runrepeat.com/guides/best-running-shoes such as the Nike Pegasus which are coming in at 71 bucks USD. However, you might need something more expensive if you've got special needs with your ankles. You also should keep in mind that even a nice, or shitty, shoe isn't going to do anything if you put on too much mileage too quickly.
>>74081334Not him but you could do a 5k time trial once a week, while running easy and getting volume in the rest of the week. Simple but effective strategy.
>>74081179What about swimming? Have access to a gym for rowing machine?
>>74081334Sure, that sounds like you're increasing mileage, then holding mileage steady and increasing intensity.Do some tempo runs or intervals. Get your legs used to moving faster mechanically.Use this calculator to find good training paces: https://vdoto2.com/calculator
>>74081309well that's the shoe of the year so get ready to be recommended it until they fuck up the speed 5. If you want to spend less just buy last year models they're literally not even half price unless they're a carbon shoe. Hell even the mach x can be gotten for cheap already and the new one isn't out til late fall
rest day
>>74081870No such thing. Do a healing roon.
>>74081309For me it’s the Hoka BondiI have had at least 10 pairs of them, they’re the only shoe I trust my feet with.
>>74081903>tfw I bitched out of trying Hokas AGAINbirdfeet bros...
>>74081903I recently got a pair of bondi 8s and I kind of hate them. Feels like I'm running with large bricks on my feet and the foam is stiff as hell even though it's advertised as a max cushion shoe. My old cliftons felt more cushioned/soft and I thought the bondi would be a step up. Maybe I just need to break them in a bit more but it's almost been a month running with them. I will say that I don't experience any ankle or knee pain when I wear them but I think that's more due to my form than the shoe.
>>74081955so you have other brands you regularly use? It's probably from hoka being literally 2 generations of foam tech behind every other company
>>74081988No, I'm going to shop soon for something lighter and softer.

>>74079982Some speed. Very light and fast shoes. I have the old ones without plus.How much did they cost in your country?

Hey, I'm going to do hill sprints for the first time today, what's something good to aim for? Do I just KMS in the hill or quit while I'm ahead? I've got tennis tomorrow. 32 yo 174 cm 75 kg.
>>74083389>Do I just KMS in the hillyes. again and again and again
>>74082433>>74082433>asicsdeary me
>>74083165I also have a shit knee, my dad got replacement surgery done by 40 and I'm on my way at 35. My knee pops on every single rotation of a bicycle no matter the seating position. I went to a doctor, got the referral to a knee specialist, got the X-rays, etc. he said it's fine if it doesn't cause pain or inflammation. I didn't trust that at all honestly so I quit cycling. Best of luck, if it starts happening to me when I roon I'll just roon my way to a new knee lmao
How the hell is this jump even possible?
>>74084220It's easy. See, you startout as someone that's been running since elementary school and then make up some bullshit you can try and sell to people without actually ever having had to start from nothing in your life. Don't forget to visit my patreon, subscribe, and smash that like button.
>>74084220run slower
>>74084220aren't you essentially running at a walking pace at that stage anyway? just walk if you have to it's not that serious
>>74084252holy mother of cope. just quit trying to run then, leave more space on the trails for people who aren't trying to make lame excuses as to why they suck
>runners kneefucking kill me
>>74084220week 5 was a breeze. week 3 was the one i had to repeat a few times.
>>74084261I can't run slower>>74084262what do you mean? I run ~1 1/2 the distance I would walk in the same time>>74084293I just finished week three and the first two days were okay but day 3 (today) was very rough
>>74084269How is it cope to understand that a runner with a lifetime of experience can't understand a new runner's struggle? How is it cope to understand that we are all constantly being sold things that don't actually work? For some people it's important to have real expectations of how they'll progress, not some bs "ok now justv2.5x the longest run you've ever done" junk? Unrealistic crap like this makes people quit when all they needed was a program that wasn't put together by a monkey.
>>740710381509>1507>>1514>1511>>>1513>>>>1506=1508>>>>>>>>>>>>>1510Would steal all their sweaty sports bras from the wash
>>74084220an american made this post
>>74084220All you have to do is try. If you fail, just try again. As long as you keep trying you will get there. Plus you don't have to follow the progression religiously. Do as much as you can and don't feel bad about repeating a week or two when you fail.
>>74084620it absolutely incredible how mentally ill some people aresome random doodles tell him a program to followyet his mind is literally unable to cope with the posibility of failurethe anxiety of everything not being perfect is too much for this kind of personhe literally is that type of person that doesn't jaywalk even if there are no cars in a mile
>>74084629As someone who was once where they are now I totally get it. That spot right there is the crux of the whole program. Once you make that jump it all starts coming together. Dude is only five weeks in and hasn't really developed the discipline it takes to make it work but if you can just make it past that point it's a pretty much gravy after that. He's just starting out so I think it's ok to cut him some slack.
>>74084723I'm not 5 weeks guy. I'm just living in reality. Better to have an interim week where you go, say, 6/3/12. Or why are we tied to 21 minutes? Try 12/5/12, 17/5/17, etc.
>>74075584If there's no pain then don't worry about it. The popping may go away with time
Dear rooners, was I a retard for getting a Fitbit? I just wanted a new smartband with build-in GPS, but the thing keeps losing signal almost every single time after a while.I wanted to replace my old Huawei Band 4 that would hardly get a GPS connection, but it's starting to look like a waste of money.Do I live in a shit area or something? It doesn't even try to re-connect after disconnecting.
>>74084765You can always just run with your phone. Use an activity tracking map like strava, garmin, or runnerup (no social media stuff).
>>74084798That's the thing, I don't like taking my phone.It's not like I need to track the route I take 99% of the time, but I'd rather have an accurate tracking of distance/time.
>>74073072smart girls clipped the wings of the competition before the race even began via psyopping them into eating garbage food as fuelother girls: how can we blame men for thisand this is at least a perfectly objective sport and your appearance aint the measuring standardif the complaints were about jury assigned points there would at least be an argument to be found
>>74084765fitbits suck, I would return it if possiblean older used garmin would be better
How long will it take to see some good aerobic gains while running 40 mpw?
>>74085226when you can run 40 mpw you have good aerobic base
>>74084895I use a flipbelt to hold my keys and phone and a water bottle on longer runs. You get used to it.
anyone else go for roons and then get mcdoubles afterwards
>>74085295No, but only because my local McDonalds is slow as fuck.I usually go to Jack in the Box
>>74085268I'm up to 37.5 and I don't feel like it's much better. Maybe it's just in my head plus a bit of hotter weather.
>>74085309careful, you are transitioning
>>74085295I go for the BOGO quarterpounders.
>>74085268Mitochondrial density increases every 6 weeks or so. Capillarization happens faster. It takes a while
Wow I've somehow done my weekly mileage so that I only need to run a little under a 5K tomorrow to hit my target. Maybe I should go to parkun... haven't been in months.
>30 Mph wind and 35 degrees cloudy as fuck all weekGet me out of this hellhole
I'm about to do my April cut and cut pretty hard for 3-4 weeks. How should I change up my runs? Super-duper low intensity (LISS/zone 2) where I speed walk a 5 miler in an hour?
>>74084765yea just get a secondhand Garmin if you can't afford a decent one. Get one with music too so you'll be hooked on phonefree runs forever
>>74085315same but the double cheeseburgers, it's epic that I can get 50g of protein for like $3.50there's definitely too much fat in mcdonalds patties but we're posting in roon so we're burning off most of it and i'm fairly lean anyway
Another mediocre roo coming up
Yes, Sonic is the reason I run.
>>74071038Imagine what hugging one of them would feel like.
>>74086405same
>>74086428For that last push to finish your run https://youtu.be/nnVboYhEe5Q
>>74085566That's a free speed boost
I missed two days of running because of work. They got me going 16 hours a day bros
>>74074747Redo a couple of days anon.
I FINISHED WEEK 5 of the 10K program60 minutes with 1 minute of walkingAt the weight of 278 lbs (126 kg)I started this journey at Week 1/Day 1 and here I am. I am hurting ngl, but I'm so proud of myself!
>>74077970Yes, all my good running friends kudos each other's posts :) It's Fren city
>>74086282Healing roo
>>74086608Noice, keep it up
>parkrun today
>>74086608based
>>74086608of course you are hurting, and unless you slim down to below 100 kg you will fuck your joints foreverwhoever peddled running as a weight loss exercise to you is wrong, it' a very trash way of losing caloriesagain, I am not memeing, stop running or you injure yourselfskip a meal and it will be worth more than a run

>>74087493In my country we cross the road if the traffic sign is "NO WALK" and there is no car near (nearness varies subjectively)
Any /city roon/ anons itt?Do you like or dislike red lights?
Time to toss these shoes?
>>74084288same. gonna run tomorrow see if it feel okay
>>74087723if you can afford another pair i wpuld say yes
>>74087493what a dumb law
>>74086608Gold going anon!
>>74087493should have rooned faster
>>74072227Nigger heat is the best time to roon. When all those faggots are dying and struggling in the heat & humidity, you gotta embrace it. You gotta learn to enjoy the heat like you would a warm bath. Feel the burn in your muscles and the sear in your skin. Also a great excuse to run shirtless if you're trying to showboat. Water tastes better when it's hot, sweat feels sticker and well earned, crushing electrolytes mid/after run feels is the closest thing you'll get to an IRL power-up, and cold showers feel fuckin amazing post-run. Fuck running in the cold, dry air will fuck up your lungs.
Thought that I was going pretty easy and slow but I was apparently in Zone 3 almost the entire time. How do I learn to jog slower? Trying to go slower than this and I feel like I’m speed walking instead of jogging
Rooned again today. Second 10k this week, going to do it again in 3 days. Thinking I might train for a half-marathon. >>74072227I'm with the people saying that heat is bae, I love running with my top off in small shorts just getting every inch tanned. If I could I would run in 33° heat naked
>>74084220it doesn't happen if you're in poor shape, but it's extremely doable
>>74088629… actually Zone 4 not Zone 3 lol
I need to start taking water with me. stopped sweating near the end there.
>>74088724Make sure you install those airplane doors correctly please...
>>74088773That incident is basically what got me running lol.
I'm losing at least 2 minutes waiting for traffic lights so I can cross the street. maybe I shouldn't care?
>>74088674I'm the same way. if the test is 'fast enough to still be able to speak and have a conversation' then I can do that just fine in zone 4. I've seen threads before about zone cutoffs being kinda arbitrary, so I don't let it bother me anymore
Parkrun today. Fine with sub 18 but not a good run. Got trapped in no man's land for a few ks and really got in my own head. Felt really weak in the last k. Oh well we'll get em next time eh :)
>>74088778HehI'm actually not too far away from you
>>74088943>>74088778now kiss
>>74088945No we're still like 20 miles apart
>>74088674Your heart rate zones most likely aren't set up properly. Also don't worry about zone 2 shit at the start, if it feels like you aren't running too hard you will most likely be fine.
>>74088996>heart rate zones most likely aren't set up properlyhow many more months will it take for them to 'set up properly'
>>74088674Max HR zones are very blunt. Use lactate threshold HR zones.
>>74084220It just works.
>>74088931Which coros you got sydchad?
>>74083963A sick simp
>>74088950I live way outta town too. Wish I could afford to live nearer. Which direction you at? I'm across the narrows.
What is "running speed"? I'm a fatfuck mostly doing treadmill shit and I doubt I'm actually hitting anywhere near an actual running pace but it's faster than my normal walking speed.
>>74089619That's fine mate. Lose the weight and do what feels safe.
>>74087723i dont see any holes
>>74071038Is there a guide for buying a new sports watch? Want to track roons/walks/cycling. Not too big though otherwise it impacts on my lifts.
>>74071038>be spinning fag>never roon, just spin>at the age of 34, decide to check how high I can jump>after several attempts, I can't even touch the ceiling anymore with my hands>I am barely even coming off the ground>5 days later my calves are still sore as hell from those jumpsI kneel, roonchads. I should start running as well.
>>74087006the one on the left is a cute pajeet =w=
>>74087723depends if your broke or not, do you track miles? I generally toss mine around 500-600 miles, because the foam feels like shit and my feet start to hurt.
How many miles left on these?
>>74089798the white man uses his shoes until holes develop or begin hurting his feat
>>74089028check out how to find out your max HR and calculate them from there also on coros watches there is a running fitness test that could set them up
>>74089663coros pace 3 is quiet small and i'm pretty happy with mine, haven't tried any other brands though
>>74072666You must be not straight
>>74089798500 and by the end of those you will be experienced barefoot runner
>>74089264Pace 3 bruv
>>74082521Ship me a pair or two, those are 50% more expensive here lol
>>74089685Never tried spinning, in a group or by yourself?Saturday morning roon>sunny_springday.jpg5 km, 27:44
>>74071038Running my first 10km in about an hour. Will update you all later.
>>74090298godspeed anon
>>74086882>weekend meditation roon soon
>>74090230By myself while watching TV.
Its me >>74090298, why are these runners making me cringe?
>>74090419Its because you can't share their excitement.>I just ran my first 10k five years ago in april 2019 woo hoo look at me
>>74089663Forerunner 55. A little smaller compared to the more expensive garmins and you can find one for under 200. I've had no issues with mine so far. The display kind of sucks in terms of resolution though. It's not touchscreen either and can't play music without a phone.
Me again, >>74090298 and >>74090419I ran the wrong fucking race. So there was a 15k, 10k and 5k all going on at the same time. They each had different turnaround points. I registered for the 10k and started with the 10k runners, but I turned around at the 5k turnaround point. My first race so its not a big deal but I'm a little disappointed. Lesson learned. And its so funny that I almost switched to run the 5k when I could. It is what it is.
Do you guys actually enjoy running? I don't doing one or two runs like pic rel per week, it's good for my stamina (I play footy in a club). But I could never imagine making running my main sport. It's just not enjoyable in any way.
>>74090716*don't mind
>>74090716Do you actually enjoy football? I don't mind doing one or two games a month, it's good for socialisation I guess. But I could never imagine making football my main sport. It's just not enjoyable in any way.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW-tcQWzjIITOUHYCELS ON SUICIDE WATCH
>>74090820Yeah I do. When playing footy it feels like there's a point (I know it's pointless but it doesn't feel that way). Running on the other hand just feels kinda pointless. That's why I asked if you guys feel the same.
>>74071038>the brownest girl is the most deliciouswh*toids truly are a lost cause
>>74090680why didn't you follow the other runners?
>>74071038>https://www.halhigdon.com/training-programs/5k-training/intermediate-5k/Can I combine the two 5ks into a single 10k? Will that help or hinder gains? And can I break 20min with this routine?
>>74071038Reminder to get your speed up do lunge walks with twists and foot fires for extra exercise that will strengthen their agility, the last recommended exercise would be mountain climbers + push ups: Lunge W/Twist.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4th29G9RAkFoot Fireshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ehTgaeC4I4Mnt. Climber + Push Ups:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxWQRj7U0Zo
>>74091117idk, can you?
>>74091009There was a guy I was following who I knew was in the 10k race with me, but I overtook him just before that checkpoint. I have learned from it though, there's no way it will happen again.
>>74086838Are you happy with the concept2? Been thinking about getting into rowing, but quite unsure about what to buy. I'd ideally like something that can connect with my Garmin watch, but not sure about what else might be important.
>>74089609Oh wow, yeah I'm not that far. I'm up north near Lake Sammamish.
>>74091187Of course I can, but is it a good idea?
>>74091209Rowing is pointless and useless desu, get an abwheel for the same but better benefit.
best pre run stretches?
>>74091563Goku Side Lunge Stretch.
>>74084220Asked myself the same question, but tried it anyways and did it.Just believe
>>74091652
I rooned today :)
>>74085469I didn't go to parkrun, but I am going to try to set a 5K personal best on my own...

>>74071038How to get over the anxiety of heart attack when rooning? I used to love it
>>74092884>he thinks he will have a heart attack by rooningmust be an amerimutt thing, is this how they scare you to remain fat and watch niggerball and handegg?
>>74092884Fear is the mind killer, overcome it, or quit running I guess idk.
>>740919661082cal burned that's kino
>>74092933>>74092922I’m not trolling I have anxiety from rooning now, I want to keep it up but I’m scared
>>74091996RoonedNot a personal best, but my fourth fastest 5K of the past couple years. It is a PB since returning after my injury. Overall, felt alright, but I was drained at the end. I don't think I could have gone much faster. My plan was to jog the rest of the way home, but couldn't even do that. Had to stop and walk at the end.
>>74092996you fucking dweeb unless you are over 60 you can't roon yourself into a heart attack even if you wanted
>>74093015Fuck you, it’s hard running with a high heart rate it’s scary for some of us
>>74093069zip it bitch
>>74093100Fuck you faggot, you should be encouraging new runners
>>74093014Also here's the HR and pace chart. Obviously, I didn't warm up for this, just walked outside and started running. I guess I probably went a bit too hard at the beginning.
>>74093127.l.
>>74090964Absolutely not. There's always a point and with watch metrics that gameify running, it gets even better. I live in densely populated suburbs and it's fun to cruise through neighborhoods too. But I think it would be equally fun to run trail or through a forest. The only unbearably boring run is a track run
>>74091522>get an abwheel for the same but better benefit.what are you talking about
>>74092996There was this historical guy named Aino Koivunen who was a Finnish soldier. He accidentally took too much performance enhancing drugs, got lost and ended up skii'ing literally hundreds of miles in one go. On top of that, he didn't even have proper nutrition, he was eating raw birds and living like a beast. When he was finally found, his heart rate was around 200 after all the madness (according to wikipedia). But what's cool about the story is that he still was fine and even had kids afterwards. That serves as a proof that the human body is incredibly durable.

First Nordic 4 x 4 tomorrow, what should I expect?
