>Advice for new runners- Build up speed and mileage SLOOOOOWLY (start with 15 minutes, increase mileage at most 10% per week)- It will feel like you're going slow, you are; don't worry about setting good times for a couple 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://runbundle.com/tools/age-grading-calculatorhttps://vdoto2.com/calculator/https://runrepeat.com/how-do-you-masure-up-the-runners-percentile-calculatorPrevious -> >>75655788

Truly give it all those last seconds in a run. You deserve to give it all. Be in hell for a few seconds, live for the rest of your life as a champion.

tried a pilates "strength" class. peak HR pictured. ok it might not be a meme. I picked the heavy dumbells which turned out to be a bad idea lol
The single treadmill in the hotel I'm staying in has a 6km limit where it shuts off and you have to wait for 5m. TF is that, like how did they land on 6km?
>>75683864typical american hotel they want to minimise cardiac arrest
>>75683181How do you feel about their grip? Heard that they are overall pretty neato but suffering in that regard.Am currently looking into buying one/two new pairs (dailies/race day) as my old ultra boosts are starting to suffer and the Novablasts are on my list.
>>75683870This is in Tokyo
Finally did my first roon with my new shoes after spraining my dumbass ankle 2 weeks ago. It was fucking SHIT. Slippery icey ground, terrible pace (30 seconds per km slower at the same HR), terrible feeling. Yeah I had intense DOMS because of doing lots of strength training lately, but that doesn't explain the shocking pace. I'm pissed.

Non running exercises to improve running. Please no bike I don't know how to buy one and it's cold. I am already running so I just need something to do that helps on other days
Stupid retard beginner question sorry.I've been running for a few weeks, what I do is I run until I can't anymore then walk, run then walk, but I don't really measure time or anything. Usually my "runs" last about 40min/1hour, 3 to 4 times a week.I've noticed improvements, I can run more every time. The question is do I need a plan like people do couch to 5k or can I just keep going like this? Counting the time seems so annoying.
To the anon who injured themselves from deadlifting last thread, how long did it take before you started running again?
>>75684788Planning and measuring results is good for overall progress
>>75683094hello roonbros, has anyone here had struggles with ankle impingement before? i have been trying to get rid of it for years now
whats a good distance for daily runs with out over doing it as far as recovery goes?
>>75683686holy shit this is BASED
3.01 miles in 28:52 today. About a quarter of the run was over unsalted snow. Ultraboost 22 Cold.RDY make me feel like a rally car in the snow. Sadly I can't test the Brooks yet.>>75684390I fucking love rooning.>>75684819Like three months. After the first few weeks it felt permanent and it made me feel like shit but it went away eventually. Not fun.>>75684850Probably 1-2 miles. Work up to it and eventually it'll only take around 10-20 minutes of your day. I usually do it after a workout.
Ideal way to die would be dueing a great training session
>>75684899>Probably 1-2 miles. Work up to it and eventually it'll only take around 10-20 minutes of your day. I usually do it after a workoutthanks m8. im working up to a 10k now but i would rather just run everyday at the same time
>>75684285why have you seen his penis?
>>75684850pace matters more than distance in terms of recovery. go easy and you can recover. what seems difficult now will be easy in a few weeks if build it up the distance with lots of easy running.
Calves get tight when running. Probably shit form. Tips to use more glutes? I read that should helpBeen running for about 3 months, usually around 10 min / mile. Fastest 1 mile so far 8:43Did a half with 60/30 intervals just to see if I could, 2 hrs 40 mins. It was rough but now 5ks seem much easier
>>75685097Because I am a homosexual
>>75685154have you tried using calf compression sleeves when you run and/or after during recovery?
Found a 1/8 mile indoor track for free near me. Might be the answer to cold weather for winter. Didn’t hate it, at least less than treadmills, but also not a long run, and a narrow track with lots of old people walking. Anyone doing something similar? How long before you go crazy running in small circles?
roon wed/sat/sun or fri/sat/sun? just for helf. max 10k/1hour
At what weekly mileage does it make sense to move to a high carb diet?I'm currently doing 9mi/wk (3mi x 3). I used to regularly do 10x that, but I got injured and dabbled in other activities for several years. Coming back slow and steady this time, every month adding 1 to my weekly mileage. So I will be at 20 by the end of this year.
>>75685207Dude that's gay
>>75684788If you don't like counting time (I don't either) then measure distance. To me it's more meaningful to say I can run x distance nonstop than x time.
>>756840152nd troon post recovering from ankle injury, 2nd time trash performance. Was doing VO2max intervals today, usually I should get close to 5k target pace during them (3:30 per km), but today I was MILES off. Makes me wonder if I have some underlying illness because it shouldn't be possible to lose this much pace within only 2 weeks.Yes I'm mad.
>>75685585Wed/Sat/Sun. Get as much rest between the roons as you can.
>>75685719guten roon, mein neger. Ja. First workout post injury doesn't matter. Just stay healthy.
>>75683181mine are on the way cant wait
>>756855221/8 mile is kinda tiny, my block is 1/4 mile a lap. But it's free and comfier. I guess be wary of wear on one foot over the other if you're gonna be running the same direction every time.>>75685662Currently at 21 miles a week and some change if you include work. Doing fine with high protein diet but I'm also 206.0lbs (down from 208.2lbs on 1/1). My body has it's own carbs.
Very chilly outside today but the run was great :D
>>75685810IDK that guy but some tracks have designated clockwise hours so that you can even yourself out
Been really loving to roon latelySigned up for a couple of local races5k, 10k and half marathons since I'm probably not ready for a fullshould I be mixing in some strength training? or do I just stick with the running?Any advice is good advice
What fitness bands do you guys recommend for heart rate tracking? I'm trying to take cardio more seriously. Is current MiBand good enough?
>>75685207based
>>75686023If you care deeply about HR training, and want the best possible accuracy, get a chest strap.Personally I use a Polar H9 but there are others out there.Anything on your arm will run the risk of matching HR to your cadence.However, I also use a google watch, and the HR is never more that 10 bpm different, unless I get > 180.You're probably fine with your MiBand for general tracking of HR.
>>75686003There is little if any reason to use weights if all you care about is running. Unless you identify a weakness in your form and decide you need to build more quad, ham, calf, glute, hip flexor. Otherwise calisthenics will do you just fine. Mainly core.
>>75686060I just want ballpark numbers for zones, that are at least as accurate as the grips on cardio machines at the gym and to get an idea of how hard I'm going in BJJ and judo.
>>75686117can you wear a watch or chest strap durring that?wont it get in the way?why not just use a clock and your fingers on neck between sparring sessions?
How do you guys run after a bad diet? My meal prep went bad so I ended up eating out with a coworker. I got disgusting greasy Chinese food. How do you run after eating greasy gross food like that? >>75683686Yep. When I first started I was proud of a 10 min mile. Now that's considered a bad day. Thanks for the motivation anon! >>75685522That's how I do it during the winter. A shitty 1/8 track. It's annoying but I get lost in the music. The bigger issue is retards who walk in the running lane or go the wrong way.
>>75686125A few people, including the coach wear Fitbits, which is what gave me the idea.
>>75686145so get a fitbit. ask them for a recommendation.people who run use running watches and chest straps that have a million other features that won't be relevant for you. they're also pretty expensive.
>>75686134Just don't stray too far from home, or be familiar with bathrooms along the route
>>75685522I only use tracks for speed work. Running distance in quarter-mile circles is maddening. I can only image how bad it would be in eighth miles.
>>75686003Yes absolutely. Even the skelly Africans are doing some strength stuff. At the very least all the basic core stuff for hip flexors, glutes, adductors. Some calf raises and hamstring curls.
>>75686003yeah you should be doing some strength training because it helps reduce injury. You can find specific workouts geared for running/runners. It will help prevent injury and can also improve your speed
>>75686145You could look at health trackers like Fitbit Inspire, Fitbit Charge or Garmin Vivosmart. They’re smaller, less expensive, have longer battery life, with more basic functions. You can pick older models too if you’re feeling particularly cheap. Fitbit has shitty integration with running apps so I don’t suggest them for rooners.
>>75685747Thanks bruder. I'm just frustrated that I couldn't even keep my level over the 2 weeks as I had hoped. Did some cycling but that doesn't carry over to running it seems.
>>75685719> Makes me wonder if I have some underlying illness because it shouldn't be possible to lose this much pace within only 2 weeks.Could also be mental. You spent the past couple weeks favoring your injury and your body remembers the pain, it can take a moment to return to your normal gait.
>>75686449You won't lose much in 2 weeks. Maybe legs a feel heavy after not running for a while but most the fitness should still be there. Be grand after another couple of runs.
are you ready for our cardio "workout" anon?
>>75686125>why not just use a clock and your fingers on neck between sparring sessions?Why don't you just shit in the woods instead using indoor plumbing?Oh and use leaves to wipe yourself.>>75686155Just get some fully functional running watch instead of those toys. It's a good investment.You can get the Garmin Forerunner 55 under 199 and Coros Pace under 229 and both of those are head and shoulders above Fitbit.
>>75686795Sorry babe you're Australian.
when should i start doing zone 2 training? or is it bullshit? i was doing 30 minutes runs every other day but sometimes i just ran slower than in previous trainings, so i dont know if i should go for 10k first or just go zone 2
>>75687107Zone 2 helped me with my 10k drastically, went from 68 mins down to 55mins over a year and a bit of not consistently doing about 45 mins 3 times a week. Only a little bit of speed work.Honestly the only hard part about Zone 2 is breaking your ego since you will want to run faster but you'll have to go slow
>>75687126what's a good resource to actually get how to do it right? also, since i tend to wander a lot i always end up going faster than what i want because as soon as someone catches me or i catch a person i just go faster out of ego/autism, haha
>>75687107zone 2 is bullshit run tempos to get fit quickert. sub 40 10km
>>75687144There's a lot of calculations for measuring zones, but just use the basic 60-75% max HR and aim for 70% and go for long and slow runs (45 mins).You'll have almost no risk of injuries and it'll be so fucking easy you'll think you are doing it wrong.Also it makes it super easy to start with high volume (45 mins * 3 per week) and add volume easier than any other method since the risks are so low.You can't run your 10k if you cant walk it and zone 2 will get your body used to that.>>75687192This but once you have experience, you'll hurt yourself if you go too hard, and if you already have an ego that makes you run past people or catch up then you will definitely go harder than you need.
>>75684788>The question is do I need a plan like people do couch to 5k or can I just keep going like this? Counting the time seems so annoying.Only if you want. I think at least basic time+distance tracking is great because when you're feeling shitty you can look back on your progress for a quick pick-me-up. There are apps that'll do all the counting and measuring for you.
>>75683094i'm doing a steep 2km climb (then 10km trail run) several days a week and my anterior thigh muscles always feel fatigued.should I tone back the elevation?
Did 12x400m +60sec rest. Average = 80sec. First workout since injury. LFG.
>>75683181are they true to size?
>>75687364Muscle soreness, and especially quad soreness, is a fact of the rooning life. If you're concerned about overtraining, keep an eye on your results, not your tender thighs. Sleep and eat a lot.
>>75687439they aren't sore, just never fully recover.i do need to up my food intake and sleep though. thanks for the reminder.
>>75687490:)
>>75687419Yes (US 10.5)
>>75687403
>>75683181Nice. Pre-ordered some Brooks Glycerine 22's Im looking forward to receiving sometime in early February.
>>75686074This isn't true, particularly for women, who are 3-5x more likely to suffer a non-contact knee injury than men (due to q-angle, greater joint laxity, and the tendency to use less hamstrings to stabilize the knee).
>>75684019lmao
if I wanted to buy a treadmill, what should I go for?
Ok so what I have gathered so far is that there are four types of cardiovascular training>aerobic>lactate threshold>vo2max>anaerobicAerobic is steady state zone 2 cardio, done at around 70% of your max HR. Can be trained by doing low intensity 30+ minute sessions.Lactate threshold is done at around 85% of your max HR, higher for elite runners. Can be trained by doing intervals of 5-15 minutes.VO2Max is pretty much a 100% effort for 1 to 5 minutes. Anaerobic is a 100% effort for less than 1 minute.(Correct me if I'm wrong on any of these)Now what I'm not sure about is the rest times. For anerobic you will want to fully recover between intervals, so they should be longer than the intervals themselves right? What happens if you choose a shorter rest time then, will there be some carryover into VO2Max?For VO2Max, you don't want to fully recover, so you rest shorter than or equally as long as the interval? Again, what happens if you choose a longer rest time?For lactate threshold, a shorter rest time is sufficient. 6 minute interval 2 minute rest is a popular one I have come along often.So what's the secret to rest times?
>>75687107It's all about recovery. You do zone 2 so you can recover easily and go hard when you are meant to go hard. If you are running 5 days per week then you need at least two of those runs to be easyIf you are only running 2 days per week then you can just go hard twice.
>>75687403Noice. I'm starting a threshold block next week after 3 weeks easy running since xmas. Looking to get more volume in. Usually I would smash 10x400 at a fast pace but now I will do 15x400 at an easier pace.
>>75688778The secret is finding the rest time that allows you hit the correct paces at the correct effort on your intervals. You don't want too long recovery that it makes the workout too easy or too short that to makes it too difficult. Best off learning from experience. Try a bunch of different workouts and over time you learn what paces to run and what recovery you need. For most workouts it's going to be between 1-2 minutes recovery.
Today's run10 minutes at 6kph13 minutes at 7kph7 minutes at 6kphPeak heart rate has gone from over 160 to 145Feels so much better now. Starting slow and very slowly increasing just like with weights is a good idea. I think too many people push starting running with too much and push too fast progress. People just want fast progress, couch2kg in one month? Most people will get injured or burn out
>>75688137I stand corrected.
>>75689015>For most workouts it's going to be between 1-2 minutes recoveryDepends on the interval type and time, right? For lactate and anaerobic intervals you want to be fully recovered after the rest, so 1-2 minutes should work for most of them, but for VO2Max you don't want to fully recover, so the intervals get harder and harder with each rep. So when doing 1 minute intervals, the rest should be shorter (like 30 seconds).
>>75687107>>75687192>>75687219Tempos are important, but if they're all you're doing you're either>1. Not going hard enough>2. Have too low weekly mileage>3. Severely overtraining
>follow garmin recommendations to the letter>my "base" run is determined to be a tempo workout once complete>my threshold day tomorrow has gotten swapped to a recovery dayFUCK YOU
Any opinions on NB 1080v13 versus Nimbus 26? Both are discounted right now.
>>75689548the watch is your servant, not your master
Did a 9km rooon today. Was good even though running in snow is annoying and the weather keeps changing too often. Can't wait for summer and warmth.
>>75689674don't want a master just a training tool that doesn't go schizoid after following its advice.i'm gonna do a leg day and run an all out 10k to show it who's boss.
>run (slowly) 3 miles uphill - completely out of breath, legs are tired but not in pain>run (slowly) 1.5 miles on flat ground - barely break a sweat but calves feel like they're going to explodedo i just need to build calf strength or is this indicative of some problem with my form? does running uphill not use calves as much?
>>75689748Ran shirtless on Monday in southern California. The weather was quite pleasant.
>>75689825Now if only SoCal would stop always being on fire.
>>75689861Fires are cozy
>>75689249I would never do 30 seconds on vo2max. way too short. The speed you are running dictates the type of workout as much as the rest. 5x1000 with 90 seconds recovery could be threshold or vo2max depending on how fast you run the 1000s
>>75689824sounds like you need to run more chief
8k at a steady pace with some strides thrown in. I don't know what the point of this run was. I was just bored and cold.
just a reminder that running is for cowards real men stand and fight
>>75690020And how will you catch your prey?
>>75689548Well, you should recover better then. How much sleep are you getting? Don't listen to >>75689674, your watch knows what is best.
>>75689771based>>75690052nah bro, the watch is just shit testing him to see how far it can go. can't let it get away with it
>>75689870Hmm but the rest depends on the interval length. With VO2Max intervals you don't wanna fully rest between reps (this might be bullshit but it's what I have gathered so far), so when choosing rather short 1 minute intervals, you'll want to choose appropriately short rest intervals. I keep reading about 2:1 interval to rest ratio, so 30 seconds does seem good in that case.>The speed you are running dictates the type of workout as much as the rest. 5x1000 with 90 seconds recovery could be threshold or vo2max depending on how fast you run the 1000sYeah of course, that's why I go fully by heartrate and time when doing the different kinds of intervals.
>>75689585Have the nimbus 25s. Super super soft, can run a bunch of miles and my feet/legs are perfectly fine. They are heavier than any other running shoe I’ve had, and they don’t have much of any “spring” if you are trying to push pace (lower than 7:45/mile for me). If you are a beginner runner, don’t care about the pace(or have other shoes for that), or are looking for a recovery/easy miles shoe they are a good candidate. Never ran NB, but have heard similar things about the 1080. I think they might be a little less cushiony but a little lighter/quicker. ASICS also has the Novablast (you can find the 4s on sale) that are still a good cushioned shoe for distance but more springy than soft. Super blast are supposedly better than both those combined, but it’s $200 for a non-plated shoe.
>>75690141No you won't be able to recover enough in 30 seconds to hit the right pace. vo2max efforts are tough because you are running fast not because of the short recoveries. you need the longer recoveries otherwise you won't hit the right paces (or it will be insanely hard and not sustainable long term). More likely to find 30 second recoveries in a threshold workout with short reps like 400 metre repeats. Because it's below threshold the pace will be relatively slow on the 400s so you can recover in 30 seconds.
Any recommendation for zero drop shoes? I used my Altra to consumption and I'm open to try something new
I healed.
>>75690252Xero shoes are pretty awesome if you’re looking for zero drop + minimalist with no midfoot cushioning.
>>75690360no midsole cushioning*
>>75690247This shit is way too confusing. So you want to fully recover for all three interval types? What's the point of these workouts where you don't fully rest between intervals then? These are recommended by pretty much every runner on youtube at least.
>>75690401Race prepHolding a steady pace at various levels of fatigue
>>75683094Running is good for fitness. The bitch fuck a china dick.Get your daily miles.
>>75690429Right, they did always say to do these sessions in the last month of training for a race. Got it now, I'm gonna consider these a separate type of intervals from now. As for the remaining 3, I'm gonna do one of each every week and fill up the rest with aerobic stuff. Thanks bro.
>>75686393nta but I've never used a running app. What's are the go to options? Are there other features I should look for beyond logging my runs?
>>75690475meds
3.02 miles in 27:26. 26 degrees F today, ran against the wind on the way back. Hate it, but I'm grateful for it otherwise since it definitely strengthened my ankles. Don't worry, since I took this pic the weights, floor, and equipment in the back have been dusted and cleaned.>>75689824>>75689882Yep, just run. You will eventually even out unless you run with maladjusted shoes or steps.>>75689825Comfy. Can't wait for summer. Dealing with snow, salt, and salted snow.
i have a buddy on strava who has a sub 2hour half marathon, but gets to like 185hbpm instantly at a 6:10/km pacefeel like that's like, not healthy? or can some people just naturally have a higher heartrate?seems super extreme to me. i wanna tell him to slow down and actually build a zone 2 but i don't know what's normal.fwiw he's super skinny and average height.
>>75690564Strava is the big one. Or your running watch company probably has a custom one for their products. If you’re using a watch/strap it’ll track everything it’s capable of (pace, distance, cadence, HR, etc) and you can scroll through data to your heart’s content. If you only have a phone you’ll just have vaguely accurate time and gps data.
Dear rooners,I wanna get into competitions and I picked a couple this year. From your experience, is running a 10k one week before a half marathon alright regarding regeneration? Will it impact my marathon performance significantly?
>>75690624I'm looking to get a watch too. I've seen the recommendations for Coros and Garmin in these threads and I'm pretty much just waiting to see who goes on sale first (expecting February based on price histories).I spent last year running distances I confirmed with Google maps without tracking time, HR, etc., but towards the end I was consistently able to go beyond my 10k route so I'm not even sure how far i can go at this point. I'd like to continue to improve and I think I've hit the point where having those metrics would help me understand where I'm at and what I need to work on.
>>75690602If he has sub 2 hour hm then he knows probably better than you.
>>75690401You will learn more from doing the sessions yourself. Do few and few different ones and you'll know how to pace and what recovery is needed. You ain't fully recovering from vo2max efforts in 90 seconds that's for sure.
>>75690674You could get away with but it's certainly not recommended. Look up marathon tapers. I do a 10 day taper myself. And that's before any race not just a marathon.
>>75689476>Have too low weekly mileagemakes them very relevant to me (~40km/w) and many anons ITT I reckon
>>75688137>non-contact knee injury than men (due to q-angle, greater joint laxity, and the tendency to use less hamstrings to stabilize the knee).What does this mean, what lifts are women suppose to do to not get whatever that injury is?
>>75690358nice heal>>75689890looks like fun though
>usually only record runs>start recording all my other workouts (gym/sport)>watch screams at me to chill the fuck outfuck you I do what I want bitch
>>75690855one minute the watch be telling you to calm downnext minute it's telling to get up and movedumb ass AI doesn't know shit
>>75690822Interesting read, thanks. I usually stop 7 days before the event. I wonder whether I could taper off two and a half weeks before the half marathon and just do the race one week prior. Maybe I'll just roon the 10k at a slower pace than usual.
>>75690866>Maybe I'll just roon the 10k at a slower pace than usual.I think this is the best option if you're going to do both. Mini taper for the 10k then an easy week after.
>>75690897Yeah, I'll settle with that then. The marathon is definitely my main focus and there are two other 10ks this year, anyway.
take a couple weeks off for my tendon and my cardio is in the shitter again. back to work I guess
I fucking hate the newbies ruining my gym. How fucking hard is it to run in the correct direction on a track. Apparently it's hard for these retards

>>75691837I guess the choice is clear - freezing outside or suffering in a post New Year's gym.It's a tough choice and I sympathize, I truly do.>>75691853So what? You are not a professional athlete, not with that time so that leaves us with a dedicated amateur who sacrificed way too much for bragging rights. Now if you want to be weak in the most direct "I can't open a jar" way and actually brag about it on this Hungarian fishing forum - fine. Others might want to be a bit more balanced in the way they live their lives.

>>75691955So what is your marathon again?
>>756922072:18
On week three of picrel, just finished the second run of the week. Been running on and off since June, but having some actual times and goals to shoot for with each run is really helping me stay more consistent. I’ve been slacking all week because it’s so cold. My hands get red and dry and start throbbing when I run in the cold…
>>75692427>My hands get red and dry and start throbbing when I run in the cold…Gloves and lotion. Dry winter air is a bitch, two days ago my run ended early with a nosebleed.
>new max heart rate>185If I have a heart attack, I want you anons to spread the word that rooning kills.
>>75692516Bullshit. My heart rate is in the lower 40's and nurses always ask me if I run (I don't). You're just a fat LARPer.
>>75692521>nurses always ask me if I runwhy you in the hospital all the time b?
>>75692660Because his heartrate is way too low for his fitness level
>All that chat earlier about botnet on your wristLmao just get some pants with a zip/inside pocket and download Organic Maps or OsmAnd and save a track with your coordinates and timestamp at each one for free
>>75692521max heart rate != resting heart rate
Time to go for my daily roooonn. The weather keeps changing and it sucks. Right now it's been thawing and it's kinda wet but you know it's gonna be freezy weezy again soon and then I have ice to deal with. Shit ass winter. Might transition to cross country skiing more when the snows are more consistent. Or ski on other half of the week and run on the other.
Man if I could back in time I would be smashing the strength stuff in the gym years ago. It makes such a difference for injury prevention and recovery from runs. I always did a little bit but you really got to it properly. A few planks and body weight lunges here and there ain't gonna cut it.
>>75693265I dislike winter here, too. Most of the time, we don't even get enough snow to think about anything like skiing.I just do stationary bike at the gym when the weather is too cold and wet for my taste.
>>75693348Recently started gym as well and feel improvements like you say. What's your routine?
>>75693363Nothing fancy. Once a week I'll do moderately heavy squats and deadlifts. Another day I'll do lighter dumbbell lunges and squats. Lots of calf raises which have fixed my achilles issues I've been having for years. Some basic upper body stuff and some other accessories like back extension and the usual basic core stuff that most runners do.
Too cold out again today. Back to the gym to use the treadmills.

>>75693554Forgot picture
>>75692415Nice, how did you place at trials?
3.01 miles in 28:13, fucking 25 degrees F with heavy gusts.>>75693348Pretty much why I'm running. Stalled at 565lbs deadlift as a natty manlet, can do more if I didn't have so much fat and was prone to injury.>>75693539Must be nice.
>>75693990>Must be nice.It was ok. No matter how bad the weather is tomorrow I'll do my roon outside, can't handle too many treadmill sessions in a row.
>>75694121>>75693265>>75693360Real. Here's to better weather and for the salt on the pavement to fuck off.
>>75693953i was injured
What a sluggish run, it's like my legs weighed 200 kilos
>>75691790fat shins 2/10 would not bang
dreaded running a few weeks ago, runs couldn't go by any slower. Now all my body wants to do while I'm sitting at my desk is run. Feels like I zone out for 15 seconds and suddenly 10m has passed. This is beautiful
>>75694407This but unironically
>>75691090beeen trying for too long to get my pace under 5min/km how you built this pace on such low heart rate?
>>75693990>565 diddle natty manletImpressive
>>75686134People who walk in the run lane should be killed
After my run and OHP day, I needed to listen to another audio book so I walked on a treadmill for an hour and walked 5km.
>>75686795Begone thot
I'm gay
>>75694825Don't ask, don't tell, faggot
>>75694865If you can't roon faster than me I'm going to catch you and make you my bitch.
>>75683094How much would you anons say you spend on running a year? In terms of shoes, racing fees etc.?
did my first 5k today 5:26 pace all the way throughwas around 10 bpm below my lactatinc threashold though so i think i can do better actuallywas pretty fit after the run too
Spamming Zone 1/2 troons until I hit 140lb. Currently 148lb. Roon #2 later.
Did 55km in the past 5 days
>>75695854was it fun?
how do i get better 5k times?intervals?or just running at the lactate threshold and hoping it gets better?
>>75683094>NuttallI'd Nuttall over her delicious flat chest and stomach, if you get my meaning
>>75683864Guessing its to enforce taking turns, so retarded Goggins wannabes can't powerwalk an ultramarathon over four hours
>>75695861It was alright. 3 comfy roons and 2 interval sessions (1 aerobic, 1 lactic). I could feel my performance dip with every session though, so I'm gonna take a short break now and see if I made some improvements.I'm actually getting to a point where I'm starting to enjoy running, which is awesome.
>>75684918No, the ideal way to die is balls deep in a hooker at the age of 97
>>75695450maybe 400 on shoes and clothesspent 500 on a weekend away to race abroad but I'd count that more as a holiday than a running expense. I don't race that much. Anyone race 10 times a year is spending a good amount. Race entries are extortionate these days.
how long do your running shoes last usually?
>>75696153until i throw them away
>>75691940>>75692079>>75694407The duality of man.>>75692207Well if are gonna do this - post body.>>75693211Why would anyone need a botnet when you willingly give the data away?No one is being forced to import data to Strava and yet everyone does it.Strava had to implement a geographical randomization of your starting and ending points of a run so the tards won't give out military locations.
>>75694738That's horrible, I am so sorry to hear that.>>75695450Peanuts. Everything, and I do mean everything I spend on running yearly probably wouldn't cover a couple of months of ammo.>>75696153Depends on the shoe, is it for trails and many other factors.I relegate them to beach or shooting duty after the heel loses it's elasticity.
>>75683181tried to get a pair of these and the fucking store phoned me and said they'd sold me a pair of shoes they didn't have. assholes.
>>75696222corrshe looks like sexy woman from season 2 dexter
Running through trails with a light snow? Feels good bros.
Aiming for sub 3 in August, building my mileage up again (currently 40km a week but looking to get closer to 70 over the next two months) with a mix of tempo/intervals, easy, and adding back in progressively longer runs. Also doing 1 day of cross training and 2 gym days (one with legs) per week.Current PB is 3h23 last year with c.55km weeks. Anything I should be doing or keeping in mind here? Is sub-3 realistically achievable here?
>>75683094Its freezing cold and raining but my new shoes just got here. FML
>>75695939All of the above You know the training pyramid, right?
I went for my morning run on Wednesday and my foot was hurting all day afterward. I woke up and it hurt throughout my day. I have to run tomorrow morning but I'm thinking about canceling.What do I do? What did I do to myself?
I'm not doing anything too serious, I only jog until I can't take it, walk until I feel like I rested and jog again. But I'm noticing that the reason I stop is because my ankle and lower calf area feels tired, my breathing and hearth feel fine and feel that my legs are what are stoping me. Any recommendations on how to overcome this? I changes shoes less than a month ago, but I do not think it's the shoes. Half of the time I'm running uphill, the other downhill, nothing too crazy. The terrain goes from very nice and flat to packet dirt, and broken sidewalks lifted by tree roots, but in these areas I usually walk until I get to better terrain
I didn't run for 3 weeks, first the excuse was christmas, then it was vacation, then I hurt my back. The suicidal thoughts came back so I decided to run today. While it was pure suffering, my time was as good as ever. Surely this will keep the demons at bay.
>>75697195I don't know, anon. It's possible that there is something wrong with your body but it's more likely you just need to exercise more. I know as a noob it often feels like one thing or another is stopping you from actually 'running' other than what running should be about but that is normal to some degree, it's pretty normal to have minor aches and pains that cuck you to varying degrees from time to time. Noobs also seems to think improvement in running is running harder and further when that stuff mostly just comes naturally and the real challenge in running comes in consistency, doing it on the days you really don't want to etc.That said, just listen to your own body, if it really is paining you, stop and try again another day. It may feel like you're terribly unfit and can't hit your goals but it will all be washed off in memories after you have been keeping at exercising for a year or more. It's like people who weigh themselves everyday while trying to lose weight then get discouraged when they have bad periods or relapses, just try to do your best every week and trust in progress.Maybe I am completely off on my read of you though, practical advice is to learn proper stretches and warmups or go to see a physio.
>scoffing at how many runners there are around lately, new years resolution tourists>Think this about one on the way to work>See him on the way home 1.5 hours later still runningI'm sorry, I kneel
>>75697892I find if I take a break, around my fourth run back I feel good. Keep going anon.
>>75683094Do you guys practice backwards running? Would you say there is some benefit to doing it? I'm now capable of doing 9 laps around my statium, 3km and I'm wondering if I should do some extra laps running backwards?
Only done up to 12km before. Is there any reason NOT to pay up for a HM in two months? Got one later in the year but this closer one's kind of out the way to get to
>>75690602Literally me. It's fine. The question is does he feel exhausted? I ran 15k yesterday at an avg HR of 175 and I felt perfectly fine.
>>75690602could be a dodgy hr monitorsome people have high hr at slow paces but that's off the charts
>>75684599L O N D O N O NDON
>>75686795Yaass Beech!
>>75697987A lot of those guys like knees over toes, Bryan Johnson etc say there's benefit from bandwards walking, particularly on an incline (from memory). the efficacy of this I have no idea, and how it translates to running I also don't know, but i don't think it'd be exactly BAD for you (unless you get injured somehow).
>>75696189Only because I still have respect for the old ways
10 minutes 6kph walk15 minutes 7kph jog5 minutes 6kph WalkingHalf way to jogging the whole time!
>focus on form over speed>No more hunching over>Running upright and tall>Suddenly can hold a 7:10 mile pace >No back pain next morning>No knee painIt was that easy all along.
Relatively new rooner here. Is it normal to get really anxious and uncomfortable during a roon? Is it because I am pushing myself too hard? Or maybe because I just hate rooning? How do I get over this?I'm a mild sperg if that matters.
>>75698982>anxious That’s just you being a sperg, pay it no mind. >and uncomfortableExercise never feels comfortable when you’re out of shape. Run for a few months to build up your cardio and strength. Don’t be fat. DOMS and side stitches are normal but keep an eye out for sharp or sudden joint pain.
time to face the cold again
3.02 miles in 27:43. About to once again leave the 200lbs range, feels good mang.>>75696644Real shit, 10 miles in below freezing. Very nice.>>75696849I know that feel. Salt plagues the pavement so I can't test my new shoes yet.
>>75699318>~9 min mile at 200 lbsWtf how?
>>75699348Ultraboosts, son. Shoe shilling aside, I've been doing this for a decently long time. Also deadlifts. Fuck squats, they cripple me. I need my quads to run.
>>75698982It takes a decent amount of time to build your base fitness in running even if you're fit from other things, so I think it's normal to be uncomfortable.
>>75698982Probably just social anxiety flaring up.What I advise doing, or rather what I already do, is I put my headphones on, blast some cool music.Music makes rooning way more enjoyable for me, and it also serves to motivate me.Just put on some Rocky music and pretend you're the sperg version of Rocky Balboa.Or you could put something else as music and LARP or pretend in your head that you're someone else.I dunno what spergs like or listen to.If you need to put the music of Thomas the Tank Engine to feel better when rooning then do that.If you're into audiobooks instead, put that in your ears.Or some weird ASMR shit if that's what you're into.Pic barely related.
>>75698982>>75699443Yep. Strength training and cardio aren't exclusive to each other, if anything you'd be better doing both at the same time. Usually cardio after strength training but you'll figure it out.>>75699543I've been on a Rocky streak, so this is good advice. I even got a beanie because my hoodie kept coming off and now my ears are spared the wind chill.Listen Eurobeat/Midnight Club/Gran Turismo stuff, it makes me feel like a car sometimes. Doesn't help that Adidas uses Continental branding for their Ultraboosts' rubber, so I quite literally am a car in that sense.
>>75699543>Beating You With A Frying Pan ASMRWhat’s the bpm?
>>75699029There was barely any wind so it was quite pleasant outside today. It was nice to be outside again. Have a lovely day rooners
>>75697903It's not pain, thankfully, just tired The reason I think of it as odd is because I am a skinny fat fucker except for my legs, my legs are quite muscular. So them tiring before the rest of my body feels backwards. Maybe my legs are just strong but not "optimized" for running, maybe I'm running weird and overworking my calfs, what I'm sure is that now that my condition is improving I've finally reached my leg's current limit. I guess the only thing I can do is keep rooning
another easy 8k in the booksoh no I went out of zone 2. heart nerds can do one. I'm a run by feel chad
>>75699759oops that's the weather. here's the run
>parkrun today
>>75699764noice
>snow day>go to usual track>covered in snow>not a footprint in sightYep, I rooned that shit.
>>75700040i miss parkruni have one parkrun near where i live but its before pub transit is fully running so its farther to get to on foot than the actual runi know i should probably just drive but i feel so gay doing it also parking there sucks
>>75700249I drive to my parkrun. Feels acceptable because I make an event of it, get coffee with people afterwards, chat etc
So I was running and doing intervals at local track and saw 2 girls hanging around.Do you think it's fine to stop and say hi or will I get reported for rape?>t.socially retarded wizard
>>75699764i dont feel jealous about fast 5k or marathon times. i'm incredibly jealous when i see a solid pace with a low heart rate.i want to run fast but in a chill way namsayin ? mirin
>>75700353we are all gonna make it :3
>>75700343Wave, nod, call out “good morning/afternoon/evening”. Stop getting distracted and roon.
>>75691853>>75692207You should consider pic related>>75698484LMAO, nevermind just an hero, it'll be easier for you that way.
>>75700405kek this article is written as if they're revealing something not already widely known
>>75700433his point is you can still be a skelly marathon runner and also be strong. most distance runners are doing some strength stuff these days but that's only a recent thing.
>>75700405Next you'll tell me strongmen are overweight
>>75699759>I'm a run by feel chadYet you meticulously collect and compare thorough biometric data, curious!
Anyone else get mega hungry sometimes? I've eaten so much today o_o
>Lose a few pounds, maybe 5 pounds>Legs feel weird when running>Reckon some of the fat must have come off my ass/legs>Running feels so much easiercucked because I couldn't put the fork down, it had to plant fat cells in the worst location.
I value cardio more than strength now. I wonder if that happens to most people as they age.
>>75700405judging by wearing hat indoors, his hairline has only got worsein fact, putting that weight on probs accelerated his hair loss even more
>>75700405Long distance runners are not healthy. I think anything longer than like 8 miles is unhealthy.
>>75701073Yes, all runners on /roon/ starve themselves before races and have an underweight BMI like Ryan Hall. We can also all run sub 60 half marathons.
>>75701073>I think anything longer than like 8 miles is unhealthy.I guess you can't outrun being an American.
>>75700767I had a 3000 calorie dinner yesterday because I'm depressed. Today I ran 15km as penance
Would rooner GF be fun or not?And I mean serious rooner GF, running marathons and ultras.
I live in LA close to the fires. (inglewood) I dont care about the fires but i care greatly about the air quality. Is it recommended for me to go outside and run? Or should i just wait for the air quality to get better, is it dangerous?
>>75701120>>75701135I'm in the rooning general. It's okay, I expect these opinions.
>>75701441I am on 4can. It's okay, I expect extreme (and retarded) opinions.>>75701330Nigga, any GF is better than no GF.That said - just make sure to not date a female version of yourself.>>75700767Happens to me from time to time.Lack of sleep, overtraining, maybe something is missing from your diet - all of that can lead to felling hungry.
>>75701068>putting that weight onThat's him going back to normal, instead of looking like a famine victim.>>75698484>>old waysI doubt anyone remembers the heyday of /fitBut so do I.3:53, when I was running marathons.
who is the biggest meme currently in running?
>>75701330it's fun
whats the most based daily trainer?
>>75701616Saucony Ride or Asics Novablast/Magic Speed series are consistently great
I got a cortisol shot in my foot to treat my neuroma. I’ve been running for less than six months :(
>Took a little over an hour to do 10k on a 30c day (and so much shit in the bowels despite the pre-roon shit) Nice now just need to make the sub-optimal state under 60 minutes at worst and we're in luxury territory
>>75683094Three questions: >First. Winter roons. Anything I should do to make sure they don't suck? Have been just using a treadmill to cope, but my one at home is a piece of shit and doesn't measure distance. >Second.If I am moving to focus mainly on rooning instead of lifting, are daily runs fine? I was at every other day until I fell off recently due to the holidays. I assume lighter jogs to more intense, obviously depending on the day. Something like every 2 days have intense roon, then other days have a lighter jog going for time/distance over speed? >Third. Completed map to 5k, and have done basically all the map to 10k. Only now I am wondering about speed. To increase it, I was reading to do sprints? Alternate between jogging, then sprint 100m or 200m, then jog again for a lap, etc. How tf am I going to do this in the winter? Treadmill cope is fine, but I don't have access to an indoor track. Outdoor is snowed in constantly, and it's a decent amount of inches outside rn. Shoes are already beat to shit, so I have to get a new pair anyway but ehhh.Thank you for your time btw.
>>75683094Any asthmatics here?I possibly have asthma. Without getting medication how do I train around this? I only need to be able to do 5 miles and a 12 minute 1.5 mile so the standards aren’t absurd or anything, that’s dogshit to most of you I know. I’m not gonna go get diagnosed because then I can’t join. Idk what to do. I’ve heard of marathoners and olympians who beat asthma how do I do that? Teddy Roosevelt had it.>why I think thisTons of mucusGet winded super easily and wheezeHave puked doing this not even going far or fastAnd when I was running in the past after over a year of running the best I could do was 1.8 miles. That’s non stop, I would walk for 5-10 minutes then do 0.5 miles walk 5-15 minutes do another 0.5 and so on until I’d done a total of like 1.5 hours.What do I do?
Is it normal to feel and be physically weak after running? Its the first time i've been feeling like this. The first few weeks of running my traps and arms were sore from running, but I don't feel them being sore anymore and I didn't have a problem with doing pull ups or dips. But now after running I can't even do a single bodyweight dip? How is this possible? Fuck even my lats are sore.Did I run with dogshit form this time or was I too tense?
Can anyone share their secret about their motivation to sprint/run? I don't have issues going to the gym regularly but somehow can't get my ass up to run.
>>75703894For me it was switching from the treadmill to outdoor running exclusively unless the weather is really bad. It does help a whole lot that I live near a nice big park that has a scenic running route. Can’t wait for those springtime evening smells.
>>75701616>>75701644Brooks Ghost is also extremely popular in that same price category.
>>757037341. Toque, gloves, neck warmer, t shirt under a long sleeve if it's really cold, and warm socks. You can also throw on a shell if it's windy. You might be a bit cold at the start, but you'll warm up.2. Daily runs are fine but have an increased risk of injury, it's good to take a day off here and there for recovery. 3. Sprints can help, but speed can increase naturally as your fitness increases, so I would suggest working on your fitness through low intensity runs before starting on sprints. For shoes, you may benefit from a waterproof pair that many brands offer for the snow. >>75703860Possibly bad form, yeah. Do you do any core exercises? They help quite a bit with running form.
>>75703941Ah, ok, thanks.
>>75703894For me it’s>Trail running somewhere beautiful with nice music>Using a tracker and watching numbers go up/down>Wanting to mog my brothers and sisters on our annual family Thanksgiving hikeYou could also try signing up for a race or picking a target time to reach, training towards a specific goal is way more exciting than aimless running
>>75703894Cardio>No cardioNow that I know what its like having some cardio, I don't want to go back to being out of breath doing stuff.
>>75703894Zone 3 cardio unironically gives me ridiculous mental clarity and good feelings.
>>75703854ive ran with people with asthma beforeseem them have asthma attacks during training but they were still a good runnernot sure i would recommend someone running with undiagnosed asthma though as opposed to someone who has treatment or medication for itmaybe you dont have asthma though and are just very unfit?also some meds can have negative effects on running. lile beta blockers. never run on. beta blockers. you will have a terrible time in a way which sounds like what you described
>>75703860yes i would say its normal. ages ago sometimes i would get pains in back while running espeically if hadnt run in a while.and i think running defo can make post-run exercises harder
>>75704323I have taken beta blockers for job interviews a few times but that’s it I’m not on them daily I don’t think I’d need them again. So that’s not a problem. I want to join the military dude, I have to be able to run probably 2-3 miles a few days a week for 10 weeks but I’d rather be able to do 5 for good measure. Also just for general health because this is absurd I think every human should be able to do 5 at minimum.>very unfitI used to run a lot though and I never got past 1.8 miles. There was improvement I guess because back then I started at unable to go for a quarter mile but the fact it took a year to not even be able to do 2 miles I don’t think that’s normal
>>75704350>>75704323Oh to clarify, I’ve never run on beta blockers I took them on 3 seperate occasions in 2023 months apart and it’s been over a year since. I also take no other meds. When I was running at age 17-19 I was on zero medications at all not even caffeine totally drug free, and the best I could do was 1.8. So somethings not right. Im obviously unfit right now but I know what’s waiting for me as I get back into this. I don’t want to spend a year getting in shape and struggle to make it past 1.5 miles knowing I need to do at least double. Most people I hear about can do 2-3 within just 3-4 months. Shit, I know damn well someone in here will chime in saying they could do 3 on their first dayI know it’s not a genetic thing I have immediate family who have done marathons. Their advice has gotten me injured in the past so I don’t ask them for it
3.02 miles in 26:16, atoning for my 3lb refeed with an all-out sprint at the end (205.5lbs this morning up from 202.0lbs.)>>75701199My legs hurt, but I felt the guilt leave my body. Feels good making up for gluttony this way.>>75701835Well then you're almost TO having ran for six months. Now keep running.
>>75703860The only times my whole body (not just my legs) feels weak after running is when I do it fasted, or back when I was brand new to it. If neither of those apply to you then bad form or insufficient core strength is probably the answer.
>>75683870If that were the case, I'd guess at it being no more than 50m. They'd need a treadmill for pic-related if it were American.
>>75704323I tried running on beta blockers on and off for 7-8 years. Finally gave up and started sprinting - should have made the change years back. I can handle up to 200m fine and most of my practice is <100m (going short to long), which suits my ageing carcass. Spend much more time doing gym work and all the healthier for it.Still miss cross-country racing though...
>>75703860You're probably running too hard. Just get on the troonmill, run 4-5 mph, put on a podcast/music and chill. You'll get the same benefits without stressing the shit out of your body.
I would not recommend doing a long troon while cutting. Usually my steady long roon pace is around 7:00 but I was cooked today.
>>75700368Nice roon>>75699318>>75704377Nice roons for a fat man. >>75704995Nice roon (samefagging)
>>75704584Sprinting is based, nothing quite like the feeling you get after a sprint session.
>rest day>suicidal thoughts come back
First time in a while that I ran distance in fresh snow. Calves are burning even though my pace was pretty slow.
>>75705615Just walk on a treadmill, or go on a comically slow run on the troonmill, like 4mph, blast a podcast/music. It works for me. Nice Zone 1 active recovery.
>>75705694I can't get out of bed
>>75705708Because you're depressed or because you crippled your body doing a hard workout?
>>75705731the first one
why do I not want to run, but after a run I feel like god. Why does my body/mind not realize how good I'll feel?
>>75705740Fair enough.
>>75705740I, Anon, challenge you, Anon, to take ONE step out the door. Just one.
>>75705782i'd have to put clothes on first though and its starting to get dark. the gym is open though
>>75705782alright i will go but i don't know for how long
>>75705827Doesn't really matter how long, a recovery walk doesn't need to be demanding, if you get your blood flowing you've accomplished the goal.
Should I buy a mask for running? I'm new to running and the 35F air hurts to breath, but I also might just be being a bitch.
>>75705615Understandable. Have you tried finding an alternative hobby for rest day or confronting the dysfunctional thoughts?
>>75705956If you want. A facemask, neck gater, or balaclava will fix the "air so cold it hurts my lungs" problem but they can be too warm and uncomfortable after you've been running for a bit.
>>75705858I walked for 30 minutes, it was ok.>>75705956A neck gater was the best running purchase I made last year. Even if I don't cover my face with it I wear it as a scarf and it's nice.>>75706036Running is the only positive hobby I have that helps me, nothing else has really worked. I'm in therapy which helps too but not 100%.
Southerner here and we just got snow for the first time in 5 years yesterday. As much as I hate the cold, I didn't know it could be this pretty. Anons who run in the snow, do you like it or nah? Also what do you wear.
>>75704374so what does a typical run look like right now? how long, how far?
>>75705694guys dont enable the exercise addicts in this threadi know theres many of you in here
>>75706391I'm not an addict, I'm training.
>>75706354It can definitely be serene. But there’s always a limit to it being too cold/icy/windy. For what to wear below freezing: any athletic company has a compression cold gear. That as a base layer on top and bottom, then a long sleeve pullover and shorts. Sweats if it’s colder. Some warmer socks (merino wool is good) and unless I know the paths are clear I usually wear my trail shoes. Hat, neck gator, gloves. Usually the hardest thing for me is keeping my face and fingers warm. Pic is Roon today on a snow/icy paths. Below 20°. Wind was a bitch some places.
>>75706414Yeah the wind can definitely be a pain in the ass. Forced me to put gloves on for my run today cause it felt like my hands were going to fall off on after my last run. Down here it luckily never gets below freezing for more than a day so I can get away with two layers on top + shorts.
>>75706354>Anons who run in the snow, do you like it or nahNothing better than waking up early and being the first person to run through the woods after a snow. (Being the second is a death sentence, the snow gets packed down and refrozen into ice).>Also what do you wear.I'm guessing you'll get highs in the low 40s? Long pants, a couple layers of long sleeve shirts, something for the ears, normal knit gloves. Even though it's cold at first you warm up really fast. Don't worry about fancy heat gear unless you're at freezing and below.
>>75706625>I'm guessing you'll get highs in the low 40s?Yeah, and it's only getting warmer from there. I hate wearing pants on runs so I just wear shorts and I never feel the cold in my legs whatsoever. Hands are different, though, need gloves.
>>75706211>walked for 30 minutes, it was ok.You exceeded the challenge by more than 29 minutes! Nice.
