>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)

hello lads, im on my final week of C25K and its been fun cut down 6 minutes of time, anyways im noting some shin area pain. should i rest for a couple weeks or just finish the C25K

Daniels says to run at 180 cadence... so I've turned on an audio metronome app at 180 bpm and I'm going to move my legs back and forth while sitting at my desk to get used to that pace.

You’ll get there, I’m sure.
I started running exactly one year ago and could not run 2km without stopping.
And this was my 4th attempt at zone 2 running where I did not have to walk because my HR was out of control.

Rooners is zone 2 a meme? I’ve run all summer and even quit smoking but I don’t see any gains.

rooned earlier
Was supposed to be an easy run, but ended up doing basically the same pace I've been doing... I need to get better about that. HR was fine the whole time. A little groin soreness, but just had to keep my core tight to make it go away. I'm pissed I'm not losing weight anymore. I need to get below 160lbs.
Saw three herons today. Two along the water, and one perched up in a tree. The one in the tree was RIGHT BY the trail, like 10 ft away. If I had my phone, I would have taken a pic. Also, there were so many fucking geese on the river bank. I tried counting, but lost it at 45 and there were at least another 10-20.
Also... I guess school is out and summer sports camps are starting at the park... I'll have to avoid the sports fields or else they might think I'm a predator and call the police.

Trying to get into running but it feels pretty terrible so far. Walking five days a week, running two. Measured a walk and this is what it reported - very little elevation. Which seems weird/high/too intense. Should I be concerned?

Me: Male, 6'1", 32, 190 pounds. Resting heart rate, 58 bpm.
>>
>>74585388
Every elite runner, every olympian, and even non-runners use Zone 2 training. It's not a meme. Stick with it. If your times are improving while staying in Zone 2, your fitness is increasing. Meaning you can run further/faster while staying in Zone 2. Get good enough and you will be jogging rather quickly with your heart chilling in Zone 2.
>>
>>74585760
Do you smoke? I do and my heart rate is always super high while moving even though my resting heart rate is 52. I run anyway and it's fine once you get used to it.
>>
>>74585947
No smoking, no. Maybe I just need more practice.
>>
>85 degrees and humid again
>Ended up running one of my slowest 15Ks ever
It's been over a month of running in this and it's not getting easier. Should I just go back to running at night like I have every summer before this?
>>
>>74584876
No, you could do that in 3-4 months
>>
new to rooning, is pre-stretching a good idea? I stretch after, but I've been getting a weird strain feeling in my left shin and calf.
thinking warmup with a short jog, stretch, roon, stretch after. is that overdoing it or is more flexibility just generally better to strive for?

phwooarr

did anydda roon

diss time slower

1hr 12mins total

29C

coer,

as the french say

crazy how even when the heat (i.e. no direct sun) isnt that bothersome it just saps your energy

ya kno imma finkin dat dese roons hav been harder compared to last time i was roonin in hot weatherie bevause deez last twi days been incredibly humid. lots of clouds in sky. humidity makes heat so much worse. it feels more subtle than direct sunlight which is really overbearing. but same time i fink humidity affects performance morethan direct sunlight if you are dressed appropriately fordirwct sunlighte.g. hat, maybe sunglasses, light white top to reflect the rays

also a sweat wicking shirt is so important
>>
imo runnin in direct sunlight in a good white shirt much better than topless coz sun reflects off the shirt but if your topless the rays get absorbed directly into your fookin back so iy garn make you hotter. just need a very breathable shirt so all air gets in but still protects your body from sunrays

obi on a humid day with no sun, sun reflection will not matter and best just to be topless to let thesweat evaporate more effectively. thats why humidity make so much hotter

coz the air is so moist and full of water and probably not much wind (or else you wouldnt feel it so bad) that any sweat on your skin just won't evaporate effectively into the air. ya know like osmosis.
>>
>>74584392
Anons, I need advice.

I have really bad anterior pelvic tilt. I have MASSIVE calves because of this shit. When I run, I cannot activate my glutes because I lean forward too much. My calves give out from pain after just 1 mile.

I try to focus on being upright while running, but then I cannot activate my abs and my belly swings around, making me extra tired. I cannot run over a mile because of this.

Will this fix itself if I keep running? I am about 40 lbs overweight and trying to lose it. I have always wanted to be good at running. pls help.

Yes, but you're not supposed to hold the stretches. Look up dynamic vs static stretching
>>
>>74586675
>I try to focus on being upright while running, but then I cannot activate my abs and my belly swings around
Wdym? Flexing your abs and glutes is how you counteract anterior pelvic tilt. Try it when you're standing or walking around, you're posture will be better.
>>
>>74586288
Lmao look at long term runners:

>Repeated injuries and surgeries leave them barely able to hobble without painkillers
>Face and arms chewed up like an old leather bag from constant sun exposure and cumulative sun damage and look super old even in 40s
>Now bike

Makes you think
>>
>>74586754
when I stand upright by back arches because my mid back muscles are nonexistent. I can get it right for a bit, but I cannot hold it longer.

One thing that helped was walking around with a heavy backpack and squeezing the muscles. Eventually, I had way better posture, but after my travels I stopped wearing it and lost it.

What about running with a backpack? Thing is I can barely run with just my body weight
>>
>>74586268
Humidity has a huge effect as it Rob's your body of its primary way to cool down, sweating
>>
>>74586675
isnt anterior pelvic tilt in the realm of physio / doctors? look, youre a beginner and trying to get all diss shidd to behave when there is no reason it should for a beginner. just gotta be persistent and get fit, lose weight. THEN you can worry bout udder shidd iff youwissh

I walk 2 hours a day.

1 hour walk before workout and 1 hour walk in the evening.

Each walk burns 425 calories

I set the treadmill to 3.4 mph speed and 5.0 incline and walk 60 min. Make sure you drink enough water and get enough sleep. It's pretty exhausting to recover from.

Yes, big ones too sometimes. Around this time of year, there's loads of them all along the river that I run along. Sometimes I see them flying by, landing, and taking off. They're usually close to the water, so they don't interfere with anyone running/walking/cycling on the trail (unlike the fucking geese), but I did have one squawking at me once when we were both under the same bridge.
They're common enough around here that they put a heron silhouette in the town logo.
Earlier in the spring, I saw some big black cormorants on the river too, but haven't seen any in a while.
Here's a picture of a heron I saw while walking a few weeks back.

New to running
Is 1 mile per day adequate?
I can’t yet “jog” a mile. I get too winded after about 0.40 miles. So I walk for like 0.10 miles then continue jogging
>>
>>74587822
Try something like c25k, it's in the OP
Rest days are important especially as a beginner
imo try to end each session at around an intensity 6-7 max. The later weeks(notably week 5 day 3) can end a bit harder
>>
>>74584932
Those boots will also increase injury risk because the soles aren't flat.

Hi everyone
I want to share a personal victory that no one else I know really knows/cares about

I’ve suffered from cardiophobia for a long time. Like a decade. I got extremely unfit but about 6 months ago I slowly started exercising to overcome my fear. Today, for the first time in my life, I ran a mile without having to slow down or walk at all. I jogged the entire thing. It was a 16:30 mile which is like 3.8 miles per hour but STILL.
>>
>>74588199
Good job Anon, proud of you
Just remember you don't have to become an endurance athlete if you don't want to, getting good at 5ks is still great

What the fuck am I doing wrong? I just can't build endurance at all.
I started rooning again in the spring, 1-3 times a week on average. I've only managed to reach week 4 on C5K with Emi. Same thing last summer, but never got past week 2. A friend only recently picked up rooning, and he just gloated about doing 10km in just over an hour.
I'm not even that fat, 173 and 72kg. What is wrong with me?

Honestly the best part is low chance of injury. Second best part is that I can run Z2 as often as I want pretty much - rest days dictated by life, not by the body.

I remembered today just how much I fucking hate treadmills. If there's one way to injure yourself doing Z2/Z3, it's using a treadmill.
>>
>>74589017
>bamboo underwear
I will. Thanks for the recommendation especially given Los Angeles temperatures
>running shoppe

I definitely need to get some workout clothing. Hate shorts though. Recommend any brands for shoes and clothing?
>>
>>74589035
clothes are kinda like shoes, you find a brand that works with your body type then you just wear them for life. literally nothing anyone can tell you that's not shit advice. I run in saucony and I wear adidas/nike clothes but that might be dogshit for you idk

Is it worth it to do shorter distances in minimalist shoes and longer roons and speedwork in normal shoes? My goal is to be better at 5k-10k and be healthy

That's a shit time, you'll probably be able to do it to by the time you can run a 5k without stopping.

>>74590176
It's the same thing as going to the gym with your friends, your social roon is most likely a recovery roon, maybe even less, and it's just an excuse to chat while doing something active

If you're not resting the way the program recommends (Day in between each run), then yeah do that. Maybe even extend it and repeat an earlier run that you know won't aggravate your shins. Elevate them with ice and consider compression socks.

No goal time in mind, just the mental and cardio strength to keep going for such a distance.

>>74593333
Obviously there is, but keeping yourself lean is the key. I’ve been running primarily on streets and sidewalks for the past 20 years and have yet to get knee, back or hip problems because I’ve stayed at a healthy weight that doesn’t put extra stress on my joints.

Is there any shoe with max cushion and zero drop (or max 2mm) other than Altras?
>>
>>74594547
Not heard of any. Topo Athletic have a couple of cushioned zero drop (Magnifly for road, and Pursuit for trail), but the Magnifly isn't maximalist in the same was as Altra's Olympus or Paradigm, for example. I haven't tried the Pursuit to compare.

It's still a nice shoe though, the Magnifly, or at least the version I tried was. I've not used the latest one.

ultratrooning is such a pathetic excuse for a sport its actually depressing watching diss shidd on tv and you get like these narcissistic hobbyjoggers talking to the camera then it cuts to them like hobbyjogging at 4 mph or hobbling over a rock or walking with fugging sticks

its not running
they all have personality disorders
>>
>>74595019
I'd bet narcissism is likely higher in rooning in general, not just ultras, compared to team sports purely because you don't need to co-operate with others in order to achieve success; plus if you win you're literally the only one and thus the whole spotlight is on you.
>>
>>74595019
They hobble because they never actually recover properly and running that far for so long breaks down your body. Ultrarunning is a great way to test your own mental fortitude, but I don't think it should be the only sport your doing because of just the sheer amount of stress and breakdown that occurs to your phisiology as you run.

After reading through this thread I read a bit about zone 2. Currently I am overweight and did some sprints during my rooning sessions but that resulted in knee pains. After stopping that I can now run 3-4 times a week without any problems. So the zone 2 thing for even more running without fucking my body up seems perfect for me. Do you use any equipment to measure your heartrate or something or just go by feeling? Ad long as you arent winded and running is easy and fun you are in zone 2?

Want to get into zone 2 training. Am a long time runner but years of caning it and junk miles and not really progressing beyond 8min mile pace for several years. Have never used any training plan and just ran for general fitness and something to do.

Got a Garmin watch now and the only way I can stay in zone 2 is brisk walking, any run no matter how slow puts me in zone 3 and my normal pace puts me in threshold.

Do you still get benefits from walking in zone 2? Does this mean my cardio fitness is actually poor as running slowly raises my HR so much?

The Drifter Leather is a great brand. I don't think they're too expensive, specially considering quality. I bought the sneakers in my pic but in black and with vegetable tanned leather. The main drawback is that their footwear is rarely available, at least the tailor-made. Also, I'm not sure yet if they're fully minimalist.

On another note, Origo is a brand that SEEMS good. I've been using one of their sneaker models but I can't yet personally vouch for their quality.

To treadmill owners out there, any advice for buyers? I live in a small apartment and am looking for something simple, cheap and not too noisy so I can run after my night shift ends (no well maintained roads or trails out in the sticks where I live). I've seen loads of really cheap second hand models on my local swap page, like less than 100 euros, but am wondering what kind of traps to avoid or what the downsides of cheap equipment would be for treadmills.
>>
>>74600522
They are sufficient.
>>
>>74600764
>I live in a small apartment
>not too noisy so I can run after my night shift ends

Does such a treadmill ever exist? Basically you want something you can run on in the middle of the night, while people in adjacent apartments are sleeping, that somehow wont create a loud banging noise and wake them the fuck up.

I mean, I'm not saying it's not a thing, I don;t know the first thing about treadmills so maybe it is for all I know, but even if it is, it's not going to be cheap is it?
>>
>>74600783
No, you're very on point there, I hadn't thought about quiet possibly being a top-tier model exclusive thing. I have no idea how noisy a treadmill is other than the obvious running noise (though I thought that would perhaps be mitigated by the rubber from the mat and some kind of pads under the treadmill), as I've never used one before.

I quit smoking a couple of months ago and my main objective is getting my lungs and heart back in shape so I can move on to wider options. So I'm hesitating between that and a stationary bike or rower. Really anything that could let me do some exercice without leaving home and isn't too expensive is what I'm looking for. I jump rope and do basic calisthenics but I want to be able to watch some videos while I exercice otherwise I get bored. I don't have the space for weights so I figured it'd be practical to have a dedicated cardio machine at home.

I tried looking in archive but most home gym threads are more about weights and stuff.

>>
>>74600917
>Are you on the ground floor or are there people living below you

Unfortunately my apartment is in the middle of the 2nd floor hall, so surrounded by neighbours on all sides. Most of them would be out when I'd use the machine though, around 2-3 pm. We have apartment noise regulations come to think of it, so I don't even think I'd be able to use it at night since that'd be low volume hours. Honestly if it's too noisy I'll probably opt for the bike or rower instead, but those are typically more expensive second-hand in my area for some reason and I've heard bad form on the rower can wreck your back. I guess I'm just waiting to hear from anybody who's had a treadmill in an apartment to see if they've had problems.

It shows that you aren't losing fitness due to age at that point, if you lost it then it's due to inactivity or some other reason.

He complains about being old, and being more fit when he was younger but he doesn't say his activity levels between these 2 points. If he has 10 years of nothing, then he atrophied to shit but that's because of time not training. Maybe you notice it more when you are old because you had more time to get unfit.

Exactly. It’s pretty easy to stay lean in college due to youth plus lots of walking around campus. Plenty of people become much more sedentary once they start working a full time career job.

I could use advice fellas. There’s a car that keeps trying to run me off the road during my cardio. 100% intentional. I haven’t determined if it’s living at my neighbors house or just selling weed (car reeks and I’ve seen the nig sell). This is a mostly white neighborhood. When I see a car I move to the opposite side so I’m almost in the grass and use my phone flashlight so I know I’m seen giving 25’ clearance, and this nig still swerves into me. I’ve had all sorts of problems with that family related to traffic but it’s usually a mild annoyance like pulling up behind me while I’m changing a flat and just laying into their horn instead of going around, or honking while on my tail because I’m not going 50+ in a neighborhood that usually has a lot of small children outside playing and only passing me to cut me off sharply.


This car trying to hit me is horseshit though. I have a few ideas to handle it but idk what’s best.
>Confront the home owners
I think the car is their sons plug/friend but idk. My logic is he’s buying weed at 5am because he doesn’t want his parents to know. Telling them would probably end it if they’re anything like the typical older traditional Haitians I’ve interacted with (I’ve dated/been fwb a couple Haitian chicks). There’s also the chance not shit happens and this backfires
>Next time it happens get the plate and make/model tell police they’re selling weed and trying to run pedestrians over
Good chance with minimal cars on the road they get caught and fucked. Bitch move but so is trying to run into pedestrians. I dont even have a problem with weed but may as well use that here if I do this
>drop cattle tracks next time I see the car coming
I kinda wanna do this. Also bitch tier but again, why would I give respect to some nigger who’s niggering and disrespectful to begin with? What, I’m gonna confront him and then he’ll do it more? Fuck that.
>both option 2 & 3

Basically my exact feelings. I’ll get the make model and plate next time this happens and make the call. Fuck, I’ll call anytime I see that car and it happens actually.
This isn’t just my own personal annoyance with being fucked with and endangered for some moolies fun, this neighborhood has small children all throughout it always playing outside, elderly always on walks sometimes as early as I’m out there. I drive careful as fuck because of these other people and I know I’d be a wreck if I ever hit a kid and this absolute insect drives like this.

What's the unit? Kcal?
>>
>>74603423
Try eating and drinking. Maybe electrolytes

The cattle tracks, while based, would only serve to fuck over your neighbors and probably yourself too. It would fuck them over but it would also fuck over basically everyone else including yourself. I wouldn’t bother with that. You’re right about confronting, even if you bitched them out or if you told the dudes parents and they got mad at him, it would only make you a target. Just call the cops man. Maybe run with a brick in hand in the meantime

>>74603427
No, it’s some arbitrary number that is closely tided to heart rate.
If you walk for 1 hour, maybe you’ll lose 300cal, but since HR is low training load will be 5 or so.
If you do HIIT for 15 minutes but max HR couple of times you’ll easily get over 100 training load.

>hour into run
>nipples start chafing
>every time
I even bought a moisture wicking shirt in the hopes it would alleviate this. Guess I have to tape my nipples on long runs.

You should call before so they have a record of the harassment.

This roon was a disaster. Legs were tired, but running slow didn't feel easier so I just maintained a steady pace. Got stomach issues and had to stop early and take an impromptu dump in some bushes. Got a bunch of plant shit stuck to my leg. Thankfully nobody saw me. Day 21 since I last consumed a carbohydrate. Will not stop until I hit 10-12%bf
>>
Fuuuuuck yesterday I got drunk as fuck and smoked two packs of cigs, and today I had to take a break in the middle of a 5k because I thought I was gonna die. Tbf it's hot as fuck here, but still.
>>
>>74603871
how do you smoke 2 packs of cigarettes in one day?
>>
>>74603871
Ciggies and heat will destroy cardio man. I can’t wait until I move somewhere colder so I can test this but I was told if you live somewhere hot and normally just do like 5 miles, that if you go somewhere cold like in the 30s-40s you’ll be able to do more like 10 with the same perceived effort, that you’ll instantly bust PRs. No idea if it’s true but it makes sense based on what I know about heat fucking with cardio

get some pasties. make sure they have tassels for the post-run shirt removal

moisturizing costs money...

41:08 10k pb in this moment I am euphoric. I will devote the next ten years of my leisure time to going sub 40 then as far down into the thirties as I can

>>74604493
You can’t afford a bottle of body moisturizer?
>>
>>74603588
just vaseline then nips pal

not hard

>>74600511
>The main drawback is
that they’re fugly af like all human foot-shaped shoes. Whenever I see these abominations I think about the episode of (((Seinfeld))) when Kramer was walking around in special jump training shoes and got mistaken for a retard.

I went on a depression roon last night and smacked my or in the dust. Turns out running in 80 degree weather with 60% humidity vs 95 degrees with 75% is night n day. I was still a puddle of sweat though
>>
>>74604591
I’ve found that 8:30pm is my optimal summer night run start time.
>>
>>74604571
Its not that I can't afford it, its that I won't want to waste money buying it.
>>
>>74604607
You do understand that you can also use it to moisturize the rest of your body, right? You don’t have to buy it specifically for your feet, anon.
>>
>>74604588
I have some wide ass penguin feet I could probably wear penguin flipper shaped shoes and run better.
>>
>>74604629
Post your freakish feet

>>74604565
Based. Nice job anon.
>>
>>74604294
If you're awake for 24 hours, it's less than two cigs per hour. Totally doable if you're partying.

>>
>>74604700
Even if you’re not vain, you should at least be using some moisturizer on your face daily. You’ll thank yourself later in life.
>>
>>74604713
I'm too busy to do such things and I'm already in my 30s, maybe if my life dies down a bit.
>>

naw, cba

Felt good on my roon today. Can't wait for tomorrow's roon.
>>
Today was the 9/11 of runs. The heat and humidity became so overpowering that I had no choice but to jump from the 7th mile

I mean, I wouldn't feel bad about a 7:30 pace.

Tremendously humid out today. Felt like I was running in a rainforest cafe. Was supposed to push for at least a sub 9.

Based. I got in a nice 7am Saturday morning roon. I’m feeling lean and gonna do some clothes shopping today at the outlet mall.

Weekend long roon vibes
>>
I can't deal with how hot the women are on the trail near me. I just went for a easy roon since it's hot today and it was like being surrounded by softcore porn. I understand just wanting to wear a sports bra and shorts because it's hot, but this is way beyond that. They're basically wearing lingerie that's made out of spandex. It would be less insane if they were just naked at this point. One of them poured her water bottle over herself right in front of me just to fuck with my head. Idk guys I think I might have to start running at night at least until summer ends
>>
Bros my left calf is awful sore
Hurts especially when I turn my ankle inwards
What do?
>>
Am I genetic elite for running? I've been running for 2 weeks and just ran an hour without stopping, 5 miles. I haven't done cardio since playing soccer as a kid over 10 years ago. I'm basically 5k ready after 2 weeks of training
>>
>>74606064
5mph is literally a light jog
For comparison, middle school track does that as a warm up for try outs

While it is true that 5mph is relatively slow, keeping that pace for more than 15 minutes is already more than the average person can do lol
society is so unfit
keep at it if you enjoy it

>fugly af like all human foot-shaped shoes.
They certainly look weird for obvious reasons. After realizing what regular shoes do to feet and posture and how ugly toes look inside a narrow toebox, their appeal disappeared for me.

Well, you're absolutely right, assuming you're not yet adapted to nose breathing.

>>74606687
That girl might be excused, she has a coinslot for nostrils. You aren't unless your nostrils are small due to abnormal development.

/roon/bros, I occasionally do cardio and an issue I've been having lately is chafing between my tights. Other than stop being a fatass, is there any way to remedy this?
>>
>>74606809
vasaline, if you aren't wearing underwear wear underwear or just deal with it. I almost always get chaffing during runs and its gone basically the next day.
>>
>>74606600
>Sapporo
Hey I'm drinking that! Its a low quality beer and I get crazy headaches because of the impurities in the morning but its better than budweizer.
>>
>>74606761
>live with it
Bad physician. He should've brought up that nose breathing gets easier the more you do it, use it or lose it basically.
>>
>>74606793
I don't care I will roon like them one day

>>74606794
I want to roon like them

>>74606821
It's my favorite cheap beer I recommend the gold premium can if you can get it it's a little better. Also if you like seltzers they just started selling -196 here which is like the little sister to the infamous Strong Zero
>>
>>74606832
I live in DC and I've only ever seen Sapporro, I've never seen gold premium, -196, or Strong Zero. I've been thinking about switching to Asashi Dry because its got a that crispy dry taste that I like but its expensive as hell.
>>
>>74606821
Ever had Sapporo Black? I like that one
>>
>>74606919
I feel like this is a joke beer, but no.

why would it be a joke?
It's a dark lager but has a more chocolate/coffee kind of vibe as opposed to pure piss water like a light lager
I usually grab these big cans for $2.50 each
>>
>>74607192
Huh, I guess there's a whole world of Sapparo I'm missing out on. I tried to look up a really old Japanese tropical beer I had back in the day that was called Carriboon or Karriboon and I can't find the commerical on youtube to save my life.

And just like that I fucking found it, lol.

Speaking of tropical beers, I also like Orion from Okinawa
It's uh totally great to relax with one after a run haha
>>

Orion huh? I'll look out of it, but I'm tryin to cut expenses right now.
