>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 of months;
- If you start to feel pain anywhere, stop and rest;
- Don't try to copy what pros are doing. Do what feels natural; and
- 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).

Have you taken a look at most western cities? Crime ridden shitholes and being big and strong is definitely important, unfortunately it impairs my running both by putting unnecessary strain on my legs(going downhill today felt like stomping on concrete barefoot) and makes it much much harder to run fast(er).

that's the 100iq take. The 140iq comprehendoor understands that you need to sprint away as fast as possible from the schizo nigger with the 14 inch machete while he gasses out after a block.

Or, that you possess the requisite fitness to walk somewhere, fast, so you're not trapped on public transportation with one.
>>

I'm signing up for a race but wouldn't exactly call it compete since I'm shit at it. Any of those physiques would look great with a bit more mass on them, but even as is they look better than my potbelly self.

My legs just feel wrecked. All those hill runs I did last week finally caught up I guess. Luckily tomorrow is my rest day. Idk what I'll do this weekend though.
Today was supposed to be easy... whole first 2/3 felt like shit, but somehow I ended up gaining speed at the end... I was slowly catching up to a group of runners going four wide and taking up the entire trail like assholes... walkers and cyclists kept having to dodge them, so I increased my pace to overtake them, and then somehow I just kept that pace up the rest of the way. Was weird.
Didn't see any animals today.
This morning though I took a walk and saw some migrating salmon in the river. One swam right over to me up against the river bank and stuck its head out of the water. Idk wtf it was doing, it was probably dying. The whole river smells like dead fish right now.

It's been a month since I stopped running because my right shin and knee were hurting after a run. Now the pain on my right shin no longer forbid me to walk but there's still an odd feeling around and on it. The knee pain is gone too but after last night walk it started to hurt again.

What should I do anon? I'm pretty beginner runner so it's ashamed that I get injured so early and I want to start running again as soon as possible

See a doctor and get things x-rayed. Alternatively, if you have a PT in your area that will see you without a referall and focuses in endurance athletes, check in with them and get dry needled.
>>
>>76639014
foam roll everything, stretch everything, strengthen core, glutes (esp. medius), hamstrings, etc, mobility. clamshells, fire hydrants, split squats, walking soldier planks, mountain climbers, there's a million things to do to fix your kinetic chain.

Alternatively, pic related. Lay down, stretch the resistance band with the leg you are doing this exercise with straight. Make it more resistive and stable by crossing the other leg. Do the same thing as in the video. I find this method easier and doesn't require you to support the band onto something. It works more than the tibilis.

Also, get a TENS unit.

>knee
Could be a multitude of things, including an issue not with the knee itself. It can depend on which part of the knee is having pain. It could be that you are coming down too hard. You may be heel striking which isn't the form for you. You may just have issues with the joints itself that running is just making worse. You may be doing some heavy ass squats that are not used to the continuous impact. You may have an issue with your hamstrings. There's a shit ton of things. For now: do >>76639119, and maybe >>76639112 if you are having a long term issue. You may want to consider other forms of cardio.

While you are at it, do some yoga. Don't underestimate it. My injuries have significantly went down since I started doing it twice a week.
>>
>>76639194
Noted. I think I'll just take the hybrid athlete approach. Jack of trades I guess.
>>
>>76639230
maybe try running 400m in 1:30
then 800m in 3:00
then 1200m in 4:30
then 600m in 6:00
idk how you wanna train for that, do some intervals sometimes and easy runs other times

Any chink shit you buy will
1 - probably die within a year
2 - probably be a bitch to export data from
3 - will have the least intuitive user interface you have ever touched in your life. Yes you will be able to get to those screens in the banner ad, but they might be 8+ menus deep and none of the names will make sense, and the manual (pdf file btw) will be so mis-translated it will hurt
You don't buy chinkshit because it's useful, you buy it to play with when you don't value your time.

Is it ok to run through DOMS?

My tendons/joints feel great. I've had ligament injuries and tendonitis before so I know what it feels like when shit like that starts creeping in.

But all the meaty areas quads, hams, calves etc burned like fucking hell today. Mile 2 felt like mile 5. I was gassing out way sooner than usual.

Does it matter? Train through it or rest until I'm fresh?

retard filter question here but i've been skinny my entire life and now started getting fat post covid (switch to wfh, hitting the big 30) just around my belly so time to stop being a fatass

should i try to run on streets or fields (or does it not matter) and any couch to 5k app or whatever is fine? doesnt seem like a huge amount of difference
>>
>>76639858
Do either. The benefits of each are:

>streets
More impact so you are building your bones, joints, and ligaments more due to the high impact. However, has an added chance of injury. You can run faster if that's your thing, because the return force that occurs from pavement and concrete. As an example of the last, take a tennis ball and drop it on pavement and concrete. How high does it go? Now, do the same with a yard with grass or a dirt trail. See a difference?

>fields
Less impact, so less of those building qualities. However, fields tend to be uneven (even if you don't notice it), so you work your stability muscles more. Also, see above on return force. As a result of this, you have to put in a little more work, which actually helps develop your running.

For me, I do like to run races. All the ones I participate in, except one, is on pavement or concrete roads. If I run back and forth in my yard or go on the dreadmill, I can run forever. However, the moment I move it onto pavement or concrete, , it's hard.
>>
>>76639932
thank you
i have a lot of fields near me so i can have a bit more privacy, and i guess like, safety as im not crossing roads etc so maybe i'll try that.

Closing in on 50 miles for this week for the first time since July. We may be back from my hip gayness. 3 mile repeats yesterday, still training for the half that my new job is probably going to keep me from doing. Oh well, there's always another off-season base building block to look forward to.

Side note, today's the last day at my old shitty job. Upper lift and 4 mile recovery run ahead of 300th parkrun in my town.

If I finish it in under 20min maybe I'll get a gf.
