>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)

Just 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 runs
I 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
>>
>>74527755
Were you pushing really hard when your HR hit 180?
>>
>>74527779
Yeah
>>
>>74527777
I have to run a 15 minute mile to keep my heart rate in check and it sucks so much, form feels awful
so 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 awful
still a beginner btw
>>
>>74527777
>WHILE maintaining proper form?
Try it barefoot.
You can run slower than you think.
>>
>>74527777
how do they qualify "easy" run?

i'm a beginner runner and a 10min/mile pace puts me comfortably under my MAF 180 number.
>>
>>74527812
you may be a beginner runner but you are not a cardio beginner then
>>
>>74527819
really? 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
>>
>>74527860
was yesterday easy or was it something you need to recover from?

>>74527868
It was an easy run and today would be another easy run
>>
>>74527827
it's slow for dedicated runners but it's faster than the vast majority of normal people
but of course normal people are unhealthy and unfit
a single 10 minute mile MAX EFFORT is already the top end of what a random average person can do usually
>>
>>74527788
So 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.
>>
>>74527926
great 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 lol
when I started, I couldn't even do a 15 minute mile
>>
>>74527946
Now do it up a hill, see if you can hit 200.
>>
>>74527929
Nta, 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!"
>>
>>74527976
The 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

Can I make this into a 4-day routine?
>>
>>74527929
Yeah 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!

>>74527840
I actually really enjoy "running" at walking pace in my barefoot shoes
basically like skipping rope, great calf workout
>>
>>74528037
Lunges, 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.

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?

with weights preferably:

squats
one 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:

plank
side plank

all 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 imo

i 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

You 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.
>>74531320
Doctor.
>>
>>74528510
Are you flatfooted because of an actual medical issue(which is less than 1/10 cases of flat feet) or because your feet muscles are weak
if it's an actual medical issue, you need arch support
if 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

I 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.
>>
>>74530399
Cool, 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.

180 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

I 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 strict
I just keep the same form I use for barefoot while running with shoes
I do a mix of barefoot/minimalist/trail runners
I find days following my minimalist or barefoot training sessions my ankles feel great whereas longer runs with running shoes leaves me very sore

med 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.

that's not awful, you should be able to make gains then
would suggest trying to lift at least 2x a week and maybe try some zone 2 like the other guy said
alternatively sometimes you have to kind of force progressive overload, even if it feels hard too
for example, if you're on a treadmill, pick a set amount of time, say, 20 minutes, and add .1 mph every session

You’re not running anywhere near enough. You want at least three runs per week, preferably four, and to run for at least 30 minutes each time. If that means alternating run/walk to stretch it out then that’s what you do to start.

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?

Yeah, 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.

The lower your intensity, the more fat is burned as fuel and the less glucose.

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".

Running 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.

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.

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.
>>
>>74550522
Read 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.
>>
>>74550845
Oh 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).

>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.

The VO2Max style intervals seem to be oft-misunderstood. People seem baffled by the idea that significant rest between workbouts can be reasonable.
>>
>>74542547
>>74553097
In 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.

Wear 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.
>>
>>74550522
Also 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.

Yeah but running on an empty stomach makes you feel faster and lighter.

After how many total kilometres should you change shoes?
>>
>>74555095
race shoes? hundreds. dailies? thousands.
>>
>>74555112
So the 600 or so km that are the 'limit' on the Garmin app is basically bullshit for daily trainers?
>>
>>74555120
I generally buy two pairs of neutral daily trainers and alternate every two days. Modern running shoes have really durable rubber and foam.
>>
>>74555120
check 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
>>
>>74555095
When 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.

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).

Someone who doesn't fit into your pathetic worldview ig. Anyone/everyone has a right to self-defense. Plus, you'll probably never be as publicly exhausted or vulnerable as you are while rooning.

I'm an amateur boxer who wants to get the endurance and conditioning to get match ready once I do my medical in September.
Would doing a 5k 3 days a week and the odd mile time trial to try and get a 7 minute mile be a good start?
I hate roadwork so it's why my stamina is shit compared to my power and fight IQ when tech sparring

Your plan seems good to me. Maybe a month down the line combine two of those 5ks into a 10k. If you want resistance, do a weight vest over dumbbells because it sounds like you already got your arms covered.
>>
>>74555546
yeah 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

you are not a pro, no one cares about your times
no one cares you will be 40th place in the Semi-marathon of McFuckingVille, No one cares you will be third in the baker's running competition
by buying anything to improve, you've been scammed by pro runners/failed pro-runners that need to convince dweebs like that you NEED to have that sub 20 min 5k, you NEED a sub 45 min 10k, you NEED to finish a marathon

what you need to do is run as much as you like for how long and how hard you like, didn't even need to read most of your post, get a personality besides obsessing over useless numbers
>>
>>74555933
Not that guy but "get a personality" is such a stupid thing to say. People who say that have no idea what a personality is or how social interaction actually works.

How long ago was your Mile PR? My mile PR is like 5:53 but that was in 1999. 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.

Is there any good alternative to c25k for beginner runners? Workouts in c25k are too short for me (20 minutes with only 8-10 minutes of running), I did them and felt unfulfilled. My goal is to be able to run 1-2 hours and feeling comfortable while doing so. I'm not fat and my cardio is not bad due to rowing, but I want to get into running.

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.
>>
>>74557264
I felt like that on my 30 min runs. But kinda getting bored on 45 min runs. Want to be in zone 2 though so

I didn't claim that nobody one cares though; it's obvious there are plenty of these soulless drones all over the internet.

Really nice roon this morning
Perfect 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

I always run long on trails with water fountains. I make sure I am salted up before the run, other than that I don't take anything while running. I don't think it is as risky when you are running easy/medium effort
>>
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?

Pretty much, until you get to extreme sleep deprivation. I'd say 2-3 days straight is possible. Horrendous for your health but possible. Maybe longer.
