>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.png (embed)https://i.imgur.com/qNJIy.png (embed)>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 >>74506633

>>74527485Just got back into running, 160bpm average and 180bpm max heart rate for 2 miles.This is way too high right? I need to slow down?
>Running coach influencer says no one should be running faster than 11-12 minutes per mile on their easy runsI understand that women have different biomechanics and shorter legs and people who are still in the beginner phase haven’t perfected their stride or built up a ton of running strength yet, but how is it even possible for a grown adult male with years of running experience to actually move that slowly WHILE maintaining proper form? The most minimal “explosion” from your foot pushing you off the ground is going to propel you forward faster than that unless you deliberately skip leg day and have someone push you around in a wheelchair for atrophymaxxing purposes
>>74527755Were you pushing really hard when your HR hit 180?
>>74527779Yeah
>>74527777I have to run a 15 minute mile to keep my heart rate in check and it sucks so much, form feels awfulso I'm doing more fun/higher intensity while hoping I get into better shape. My fastest mile so far is about 7:30 but my endurance is god awfulstill a beginner btw
>>74527777>WHILE maintaining proper form?Try it barefoot.You can run slower than you think.
>>74527777how do they qualify "easy" run? i'm a beginner runner and a 10min/mile pace puts me comfortably under my MAF 180 number.
>>74527812you may be a beginner runner but you are not a cardio beginner then
>>74527819really? i thought that was considered pretty slow.i've been lifting for many years but only started rooning in december.
>>74527801>You can run slower than you think.This is true. I never thought I'd be able to maintain a jog at walking pace, but walking to parkrun one day chatting with a mate who was drinking coffee, I was freezing my arse orf and with zero effort discovered I could indeed roon at the same pace he was walking and sipping his coffee at.When I try it out on an actual roon on my own it's oddly much more difficult to maintain though. A true test of willpower.
I already went for a roon yesterday but I have an opportunity for another easy roon today. I likely won't have time the rest of the week to roon so this is my chance. What do you guys think should I roon
>>74527860was yesterday easy or was it something you need to recover from?
RoonedGroin felt ok. A little sore at first, but went away.Apparently we have a second wave of baby goslings being born... Not as many as a month ago, but quite a few. Also saw 1 bun.
>>74527868It was an easy run and today would be another easy run
>>74527827it's slow for dedicated runners but it's faster than the vast majority of normal peoplebut of course normal people are unhealthy and unfita single 10 minute mile MAX EFFORT is already the top end of what a random average person can do usually
>>74527788So you might have a ballpark max HR of 180-185. Keep in mind that's just an estimate.In that case an easy pace for you should be in the 110-130bpm range.For longer duration base-building that's the ideal target. It'll probably feel slow as shit.160-170bpm is probably a good "comfortably hard" pace for harder runs.How much you want to balance one vs the other is up to you really.
>>74527926great thanks. Only problem is I can barely run at 110-130bpm, what do I do? Even walking can get me to like 105bpm
>>74527827>>74527914 (me)for reference I just ran a 9 minute mile for fun and my heart rate hit 194 lolwhen I started, I couldn't even do a 15 minute mile
>>74527946Now do it up a hill, see if you can hit 200.
>>74527929Nta, but just keep running. Don't worry so much about the measured HR, just be mindful of how much you feel like you're draining yourself. If you feel like you're going to faint, or throw up, or you're compromising your form to keep going... then slow the fuck down. Otherwise, you're probably fine. You'll be surprised at how quickly your heart adapts to doing cardio. Before long, you'll be back here complaining "I can't get my HR up high enough!"
>>74527976The highest my watch has said so far is 199 but it wasn't exactly me trying to hit my max heart rate.My 220-age number should be 196 which I know is supposed to just be a ballpark, and also watches aren't always accurate
To serious runners, what do you think are the most important strength exercises to compliment running?
ran 9 miles two days ago at 7:10 pace average, hoping to get like 19:30 in a 5k tomorrow but it's gonna be hot as fuck out. This time I'll actually try fo start from the front of the pack so I don't lose time at the start trying to find people at the right pace
>>74527906i'd say go for it. my marathon training plan rn recommends back to back runs every week.
>>74528046>cat picfake corr, corr never reveals his roon pace
>>74527485>https://www.halhigdon.com/training-programs/15k-10-mile-training/intermediate-15k-10-mile/Can I make this into a 4-day routine?
>>74527929Yeah just run really slow. It'll probably feel silly. It's only slightly more intense than walking, but if you maintain it for 30-60 minutes at a time you should see the difference.Also, keep in mind this is only for running "easy runs." An average of 160bpm is fine for a "comfortably hard" run. You should be able to train that to sustain that for a good 30-45 minutes, although you'll likely feel wrecked when you're done and be sore the next day. That's different from "easy runs" where you should feel tired but like you could probably keep going if you really wanted to.
I did 3 miles uphill!
>>74527840I actually really enjoy "running" at walking pace in my barefoot shoesbasically like skipping rope, great calf workout
>>74528037Lunges, Squats, Reverse lunges, butt kicks, high knees, and sprints. When I started doing those things I noticed a great improvement to my running capacity. Also, I go for muscular endurance rather than hypertrophy. Although, i'm sure just all your common leg exercises would help.
>>74528061I just want corr to notice my cat
>>74526473 (Me)Did the roon. 1km less than planned but I take it.It was 29°C and I had to take about 5 short walking breaks. I can't imagine how it would have ended if I only had 0.5L of water
Been running consistently for about a month now The start up was painful. I was stubborn about running in chucks I have very flat feet and all other footwear gives me pain and blisters Shit was good for about two weeks My ligaments were toast. I was limping everywhere>bought expensive wide toe box shoesI'm running, jogging, and walking for an hour straight every dayHealing well and even getting fasterConsidered stopping because of the massive pain, but somehow got used to it. Now it's just background noise. Here we go boys, gotta roon

How do you get to the point where you can run or even jog without stopping to walk? I just ran a 9 minute half mile. Help pls.>inb4 fatassI am underweight.
>>74528793you just keep runningdon't push it too hard, jog for a bit, walk for a bit, do it 3-4x a weekmaybe 30 mins to an hour per session
>>74528793try couch to 5k and run as slow as you can in each running portiongood for newbie gainspeople who were active growing up don't understand what it's like to start running from scratch, it will take a lot of time
Hi /run/chads. Left warmup right workout. Kinda weird one, I met up with some guys last night for a 4 x 8min at 4'00" pace + 2min jog. It was really rough. I think this (longer reps) is what I need to solve my endurance issues. LFG
>>74528670>how long you been running and how regularly do you run?I've played football(soccer) my whole life so my cardio was never bad. Started running about 3 years ago when I stopped playing football because I moved. Never did it that serious/regular tho (1-2 times a week with 5-10k distance).This year I am more motivated and did the 2 runs more consistent and also did longer runs(15-21k) sometimes. Because the consistency made me improve a lot I started a marathon training plan 10 weeks ago and today's run was part of that. With that plan I run 3 times a week (mostly 2 times 10-14k and one long run between 20 and now 34k)>what was your longest run prior to this? 31k in 2:40h
How much do shoes actually affect your form/body? I've got a nagging little discomfort on the inside of my left shin and I'm considering trying out a different pair. Bought the Saucony Guides on sale which are labeled as a "stability shoe". Can it be that the type of issue a stability shoe is supposed to help with is actually bad for me, if it's not a stability shoe I need?
>>74528037with weights preferably: squatsone leg squat (maybe using other leg to support self)single leg dead lift and variations of ...important to not underrate this one. despite name, it is nothing like a regular deadlift and it is unique in terms of helping with balance and stabilizing muscles in addition to its heavy ass / hammie emphasis.single leg calf raise (foot taps anudda one leanredfrom that norwegian dude but really not essential at all imo though i still do it semi-regular)leg raise for hip flexors (can do this lying down with or without ankle weights)core:plankside plankall need imo. one leg side plank becomes a outer thigh leg exercise but might be quite advanced. also if you do one leg side plank but opposite leg (maybe light support from unusued leg though) you can do inner thigh strength.all you need for core imoi also like back. not sure how important that is though but i like to feel strengthening back helps form and stabiliry when running. stuff like pull ups and / or bent-over rows>>74528046corr good kittington diss. nice pose. finkin diss one goin in download folder

>>74528052>>74528577I went on that roon. That's two back-to-back recovery roons and it's still not enough. I want to roon more
>>74528037On leg day I do squats, Bulgarian Split Squats, and then I finish with ass to grass squats on the smith machine with my feet extremely close togetherThe only other relevant exercise is deadlifts which I do on pull day
>>74527801>>74527840NTA but I just tried it. I had to jog at 4mph/3.5mph but stayed in zone 2 at least(yes I know my app says zone 3)I only walked a few times to drink water but it was only for 30s-1 minutes or soAnd yes I know my zone 2 pace being that is awful. Thankfully I can use a treadmill to keep the pace because alone outside I would not be able to32:23 for 2 miles

How much of an impact does altitude have? I am going on vacation from a high altitude place to a low altitude place. I've heard that I'll have an advantage in 5ks because of the air changes. Is this true? >>74527860Go for it anon! >>74528046Best of luck anon! >>74528510You should go to a doctor. My friend has flat feet and he's a cop who's on his feet all day (literally assigned to foot patrols). The doctor gave him some shoe inserts that helped him a lot. >>74531320Doctor.
>>74528510Are you flatfooted because of an actual medical issue(which is less than 1/10 cases of flat feet) or because your feet muscles are weakif it's an actual medical issue, you need arch supportif it's the other case, strengthen your feet. barefoot shoes will help too just don't do too much volume and slowly ease into more
>>74528306How much water did you bring? And did you also bring some energy/electrolytes?
how long do you wait when you are sick until you get back into training? I still got a sore throat and some sniffles but I hate sitting around so much
>>74531640I also train when I have a cold, but maybe I run shorter/slower
>>74528793I followed this, just jogging at a very slow pace. Only took a few weeks to run 20 min without walking.https://marathonhandbook.com/couch-to-5k-training-plan/By the time I reached 5k I decided to see how fast I could go instead of jogging slow and got an unimpressive 31 minutes 21 seconds. It felt great though, and I had to run up a hill twice.
>>74530399Cool, glad you managed it. Don't worry about pace atm, in fact I would say don't even worry about heart rate while you're still a beginner. Just go at a pace that feels comfortable to you and doesn;t leave you tired and gasping for air at the end.

Any thoughts on cadence? Just learned this term recently.
>>74535221>having locksFeels good to live in a socialist utopia where theft does not exist
>>74535579Finland?
>>74528570Hoka Gaviota 5s got em in wide. Very comfy
>>74531475I'm not even sure about that. Last time I went to the foot doctor I was 5 and they gave me some uncomfortable boots I wore for about 3 weeks before I refused to put them on. When I step on the concrete with wet feet there is no sign of an arch
>>74535579I live in the US and none of my neighbors lock their doors eitherhaven't had any theft here in 20+ years
>>74535579a lot of the time I drive to a location to start my run and dont like leaving my car keys in my car when it's unlockedso I put them in my pocket
>>74535560>https://thebodymechanic.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Jack-Daniels-Cadence.pdf180 is the "magic number". If you're a beginner your cadence is likely much lower. You can train it using a metronome app or song with a known BPM. Over the past couple years I've managed to increase my race cadence from 175 to 190. The lowest avg cadence I've ever seen on a "pro" strava race is 178

very new to running (and cardio in general), currently able to do a half mile jog very slowly without stopping. Is it okay to do jog every day as I build up my endurance? Or should I have off-days to rest
>>74537471not a bad idea to take 3-4 rest days a week while your body gets used to running
>>74536348Thanks for the info and resource, I’ll check it out.
is barefoot running a meme? what's a good (first) minimalist shoe to try it out? I'd be coming from fresh foam 1080
>>74537930I like it personallyif you aren't used to it, PLEASE ease into it. Do a couple easy KMs here and thereAmazon has some really cheap ones around 30-40 bucks if you don't want to invest a lot without knowing(because they are expensive otherwise)
>>74537930I think it's a great idea for everyone to incorporate, albeit I'm just starting out but I feel tons of ankle/calve gains when I do my barefoot training (just run/jog on the track for starters) and it also taught me how to keep my form very strictI just keep the same form I use for barefoot while running with shoesI do a mix of barefoot/minimalist/trail runnersI find days following my minimalist or barefoot training sessions my ankles feel great whereas longer runs with running shoes leaves me very sore
>>74537471
Accidently did Week 6 5/8/5 running instead of Week 5 5/5/5 running. Oops. But bros, i'm a bit worried about jogging for 21 minutes straight. I'll do my best but I'll probably need to take a 1 minute rest, or I'll have to do a really good prestretch. Also whoever posted kneesovertoes videos a week or two ago, thank you. I can feel a huge fucking difference in my knees already. The only pain I get are in my calves now.
>>74538444shut up and just do itif you've gotten to that day, you can do it, even if it has to be a 4.5mph paceit seems like a lot but you CAN do it
I've been running four about 4 months now and I feel like my cardio and stamina is getting worse every time I run.I run ~2 miles twice a week at ~12 min pace. I'm not improving my pace, and the past month I've had to stop to take breaks and walk in the middle of my runs because i'm so out of breath. i'm tryin gto push through it but my stamina doesn't seem to be improving and running feels harder each time i go out. anyone ever experience anything like this?
>>74538471what else are you doing? (lifting, etc)how is your sleep?how is your nutrition?
>>74538454it will be very slow pace but I think ill be able to manage. it seems like a really odd jump from running 8 minutes with a 5 minute walk to 21 straight.
>>74538471maybe you should try some of that zone 2 training and doing more frequent sessions
>>74538615you can do it anon, believe mei didn't think i could do it either but i did
>>74538506med student so pretty stressed some weeks. i probably get like 6 hours of sleep a night though.pretty average skinnyfat build, i get 1500 to 2000 kcals a day. there's a fair bit of wraps and pizza from hospital cafeteria, but i eat a lot of eggs, sardines, rice, peanut butter sandwiches, and dairy. i try to avoid fast food but i'll have a burger or burrito once a week or less.
>>74537930Xero HFS
>>74538670that's not awful, you should be able to make gains thenwould suggest trying to lift at least 2x a week and maybe try some zone 2 like the other guy saidalternatively sometimes you have to kind of force progressive overload, even if it feels hard toofor example, if you're on a treadmill, pick a set amount of time, say, 20 minutes, and add .1 mph every session
Did a medium roon today of 8.2 miles and it was 90 degrees outside with 70% humidity.It’s not so bad I guess if you just ignore your pace and focus on finishing
>>74538471how's your diet and sleep? how hot is it where you live between 4 months ago and now? i was running 5 min/km a few months ago and bc of the weather i'm a min/km slower now. also if it's joint issues consider biking once or twice a week instead
>>74538944also i guess it's important to make sure you're not subconsciously limiting yourself, eg by forgetting to take water with you or running harder than usual on tired legs

This has never occurred to me before, but how to ultramarathoners deal with nipple chafing? At most marathon finishing lines, you see dozens of guys with bloody nips, but you never see the same at the Barkley Marathons (or whatever) despite the much longer period of nipple-to-material contact. Do elite athletes have elite nipples? Does nipple endurance actually increase over time?

>>74531360> How much of an impact does altitude have? I am going on vacation from a high altitude place to a low altitude place. I've heard that I'll have an advantage in 5ks because of the air changes. Is this true? Absolutely. I live in a hilly high altitude town and it gives me an edge when I compete in low altitude, flat terrain races. High altitude + hills is such a good training for smashing your PR
>>74544476Yeah, I use it for my calf stretches; had it around 2 months using it 6 days a week. Started on the 2nd lowest setting but I use it on the 3rd now for my gastocnemius stretches. For some reason though, using it on the 2nd setting for soleus stretches feels like it's doing more than the 3rd steeper setting - need to figure that out, could be my positioning.

>>74527485Which cuts fat better? Which give cardio gains better? 4x 5k a week at 30 min (speed 10)4x 5k a week at 40min (speed 8)Or a mixture of both depending how i feel that day. I will not run longer, i will not run more. Just answer the fucking question as written
>>74547483>Which cuts fat better?The lower your intensity, the more fat is burned as fuel and the less glucose.>Which give cardio gains better?There are different forms of cardio gains. Improved slow-twitch muscular, higher lactate threshold, improved VO2 max, increased vascularization, etc. Define your parameters for "cardio gains".
>>74546791no clue im on an eternal loop of your 2 first steps
>>74527485Running is awful for you, Cardio definitely doesn’t strengthen your cardiovascular system. Running for extended periods of time over weeks, months and years causes “athletic induced cardiomegaly” aka runners heart. Your heart stretches out and looses strength, it also causes irregular heart beats.

>>74547613>Running for extended periods of time over weeks, months and years causes “athletic induced cardiomegaly” aka runners heart. Your heart stretches out and looses strength, it also causes irregular heart beats.OK>Athlete's heart is not dangerous for athletes (though if a nonathlete has symptoms of bradycardia, cardiomegaly, and cardiac hypertrophy, another illness may be present). Athlete's heart is not the cause of sudden cardiac death during or shortly after a workout, which mainly occurs due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ARVC), two genetic disorders. Although a link between intensive exercise and exercise-induced arythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy exists.>No treatment is required for people with athletic heart syndrome; it does not pose any physical threats to the athlete, and despite some theoretical concerns that the ventricular remodeling might conceivably predispose for serious arrhythmias,[26] no evidence has been found of any increased risk of long-term events.[27] Athletes should see a physician and receive a clearance to be sure their symptoms are due to athlete's heart and not another heart disease, such as cardiomyopathy.

>>74547517Better cardio for bjj. I already do intense bjj which i feel acts as interval training, so I'm looking for a better cardio base. I've been mixing up the speeds i mentioned in my post, but if one is better than the other for my goals I'll stick to that.

>>745479005k 30m is probably not ideal for you. You would benefit more from interval sprinting combined with longer runs in zone 3.
>>74546036Not that guy but I'm 45 and my max HR is slightly over 180, putting my zone 2 much lower than yours and closer to his. The reason zones are expressed as percentage is because the actual rates vary so much.
Last 5k was at 8min/km pace, run was hard but didn't have to push crazy hard.Gonna try doing a slow 10km tomorrow.
Runbros, has running ever gotten in the way of your strength training?I feel like I have to choose running or lifting today. Don’t have enough recovery/calories/protein for both.

I've been walking for 2-3 hours now every day from basically sitting at my desk. My stamina has become quite decent. I'm still overweight 84kg at 184cm though.How do you begin rooning? It feels cringe. I get why adults don't run now. How do you avoid sun damage? Sunscreen if is fine I assume. I don't think I can afford lathering entirety of my body though.Is there technique/form I should do?Should I get special shoes? Most of my regular ones broke down fast just from walking so long. I assume it'll be even worse.
>>74550522Read the sticky ("Advice for new rooners") then do a 'couch to 5k' program over 8 to 12 weeks (or more if you have to repeat stuff). Doing 6-8 weeks of callisthenics exercises for your legs before you start will make you stronger and thus less injury prone (bodyweight squats; bridges; calf raises). It's not essential though if you can't be bothered to wait (most people start strength training after c25k even though that's the wrong way around imo)Search running for form vids on youtube so you can see what you're meant to be doing; basically run with your head up and chest leaning slightly forward, pushing with your hips - kind of as if you'd fall over if you were to lean like that standing still. You don't need fancy expensive shoes but new shoes ($60-80, I dunno, maybe less) will provide more impact absorbancy than used ones (which will go further to prevent injury - especially if you're heavy). Just don't run in shit you've been walking in already for years.
>>74550845Oh and run at a slow, "conversational" jogging pace, or if talking isn't possiible just jog slow as fuck as you can without actually walking (unless it's a "walk" section of c25k or you're too tired).
>>74550175corr diss a park? look like countryside
>>74550522>I'm still overweight 84kg at 184cm though.This is barely overweight and perfectly within bounds of a reasonable non-elite running BMI, especially if you are doing strength training as well.>How do you begin rooning?The best way to start (that almost no one actually does) is to jog at about the same speed you walk.
>>74549585Wake up at 4:30am
>>74550522>How do you avoid sun damage?do you still believe this?sunscreen is worse for you 30m-1h of direct sunlight a day is very healthy, leaning towards the lower end of that in summer if you're in a hotter area
>>74551422>t. bronze goblin
>>74550522Buy shoes half a size up from your regular; feet expand when rooning. If they have heel slip google "runner's knot" (it's what those extra eyelets are for)
>>74551506I guarantee I'm whiter than you are
>>74542547The VO2Max style intervals seem to be oft-misunderstood. People seem baffled by the idea that significant rest between workbouts can be reasonable.
>>74542547>>74553097In particular, you'll note that although Daniels recommends a 1:1 ratio of work:rest, it becomes much less efficient the shorter the interval. The ratio in the bottom graph looks closer to 2:1 (2 minute intervals with 1 minute rest between them). Otherwise you spend the entire workout trying to ramp back up to max from resting and only spend a little time actually at maximum.
>>74550874The countryside doesnt have nicely planted little trees in the middle of fields you retarded cunt
>>74553432uhhh mine does in cow / sheep / horse fields
Longest run by 4km, still moving slow but happy with this. About 25km total this week.
10km in the rain. It's good to be alive.

>>74551422can you give me the qrd on sunscreen being worse? not like.. your take but some actual sources to back it up. I'm curious, that's all, i'm not challenging you to an arguement or anything.
>>74550522Wear a hat if you run during mid day, your scalp will thank you. What other people suggested already, reading the sticky and couch to 5k. There are techniques and forms you should be doing, just do a simple YT search of running forms.Yes, get running shoes. Spend time with the customer service rep, have him measure your feet. You'd be surprised how many people have a foot longer than the other. Also, one tip that really helped me to prevent heel striking and to run on your middle foot is to think that you're running on ice.
>>74550522Also the best advice is to start slow, don't push yourself too hard and if your knees start to hurt, listen to your body and take a break. I started running at your weight and knee and calf pain is real. You may also want to look into doing core training as well.But yeah, don't try to push yourself to go fast. Slow and steady is the way to go. Baby jogging steps, let your shoulders and arms be loose, and lift those feet so you don't trip over yourself.

>>74527485I gotta start rooning soon, boys. I still have weight to lose. Anybody have any experience doing running while fasting on OMAD?
>pace mostly stays the same while HR gradually shoots updamn that hot humid summer weather
>>74554867>running to lose weightkeklmao
>>74554897Running to aid in weight loss*****Obviously caloric deficit and OMAD is the main weight loss tools in my arsenal.
>>74554867Ignore ghouls like >>74554897. Running in the morning fasted feels pretty good because you’re empty and light.
>>74553768>>74554231Name?
>>74554917Thank you. Last time I ran fasted I think it was when I did a 12 day fast, on my 9th or 10 day of no food, I went on a run and I felt like I was dying. I wanted to know the difference with OMAD fasting since it's not as extreme.
>>74554941Yeah, that sounds pretty extreme. What time to do you normally eat when doing OMAD?
>>74554946I live nocturnally for-the-most-part. I wake up around 6:30PM, then eat around 12AM, I go to bed around 11AM.
>>74554952Assuming it’s summertime where you are, that’s not too bad. You could get a fasted roon in around 8 when it’s cooling off a bit.
>>74554970Yeah, it's hot as balls in the midwest now. Running at night is more enjoyable for me. I like running at night in the small city when cars are out and places are still in business for all the light out.
>>74554917>Running in the morning fasted feels pretty good because you’re empty and light.it doesnt matter how good you feel honey, calories are still the same
>>74555013Yeah but running on an empty stomach makes you feel faster and lighter.
>>74527485After how many total kilometres should you change shoes?
>>74555095race shoes? hundreds. dailies? thousands.
>>74555112So the 600 or so km that are the 'limit' on the Garmin app is basically bullshit for daily trainers?
>>74555120I generally buy two pairs of neutral daily trainers and alternate every two days. Modern running shoes have really durable rubber and foam.
>>74555120check the sole and if it's completely worn through it's probably time to replace. I have a three year old pair of saucony Rides that I run in every second day
>>74555095When your feet start aching more than usual in them. Foam is constantly degrading from the moment it's manufactured (so, even in shoes that haven't been used, only at a much lower rate - 10 year old shoes will feel like rocks even if they;ve never been used). It's not just useage that reduces the impact absorbing qualities of shoes but impact does knacker the foam a lot quicker.
About to take a huge shit then I'm going out for my roon. >76f at 6amI hate summer
Just yesterday did 3.5 mi (5.6 km) gripping two 8 lb (3.6 kg) dumbbells.I'm always astounded how just a few additional pounds at the wrists can RIP my distance; I can do 7 mi with two 6.6 pounders, but I can't seem to even get past 4 mi with the 8 pounders yet. Also, anyone else run concealed carry? Pic related (s&w 340 pd).

>>74555523Fucking cringe

>>74555546yeah I'll give that a shot, thanks. Everytime the in house doctor would come to do hard sparring med clearance tests I'd either be at work or exhausted from training/didn't sleep well so I'd skip. but I'll get there

I can't come even close to that today so I wouldn't use that in the chart no matter what the book says "verbatim" (out of context).Pretty sure that "verbatim" line means to control for day to day variables that affect your performance (fatigue, soreness, terrain, heat, dehydration, and so on), and is very likely aimed at young people in their teens or early twenties who are already near-peak physical condition. If your 5K pr was 10 years ago and you've spent the interim watching netflix, playing videogames and eating cheetos your VDOT will have declined so you'll need a more recent test.

Why is running so addicting?I don't particularly like it, but I feel compelled to do it. Like my day is hollow without getting my heart up on the treadmill. Is it some ancestral shit?
I started running today and I use zero-drop barefoot shoes, it felt fine but is there anything to worry about in the long term? I've been walking in them for an hour or more per day for like two years now but I'm curious if there's anything I should be careful about with running in them. Kind of hard to search info on it because it's a lot of people trying to sell you the shoes.
>>74557264I felt like that on my 30 min runs. But kinda getting bored on 45 min runs. Want to be in zone 2 though so

Really nice roon this morningPerfect weather, cool, a little breezy, mostly overcast, but I could still see the mountains in the distance somehow.Run felt good, a little groin pain but managed to make it go away by tightening up my posture.Was running behind this group of women for a while, and was gaining on them, but we eventually took different paths. They didn't seem all that cute anyway.Saw two herons fly by... could have been the same heron, idk. Saw a bun, but at a distance so didn't get good look, but I'm sure it was cute

Seeing some zone 2 improvements finally I think. I walked for about a minute from 16-17 to sip some water. 15 minute mile pace otherwise which is slow yeah. Did a mile and a half. Calves were starting to burn too much near the end today
Is it possible to run forever if you bring an endless supply of Gatorade?
