>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).

had a couple good threshold/tempo roons not long ago but largely not been fun recent

gettin' diss syndrome frequently that i occasionaly have in past but persistent last few runs ever since had flu. not sure what is. light headedness / vertigo, more brethless than usual, tired, sometimes chest pressure. also persistent achilles pain been annoyin'. really weird coz did like 19 mile roon today and it didnt really bother me at all. maybe 5-10% of run felt it tiny bit. then i can sometimes do runs shorter, overall easier and it ransomly comes up. i feel like undulatory terrain is a trigger but really not sure.

Don't know, but I don't really see any when I take my Adderall. I don't see any performance boost or anything like that. I may have a very slight more stamina but not enough to justify a dose. Maybe if I was on a higher dose, the effects would be apparent? I don't really want to since I'm on such a low dose and I don't want to gain any tolerance.

But then again, it may since athletes look to get a diagnosis and a medical exemption to take it.

How do you go from running 10k to running 20

>>
>>76705129
Add a little distance to your long run each week. When I was training up for a HM, I didn't have a lot of time, so each long run I did was 1 mi longer than the previous (and I was running 5 other days of the week). I got to 12 mi just in time to taper before the race.
So basically: decide what you can comfortably do right now, figure out your target date, and then come up with a plan to ramp up over time to hit your goal on the target date. If you have a goal time in mind, then you need to worry about pacing and possibly tapering, but if you just want to complete then it's not that complicated.

Wednesday medium-long run. It was fine. I got passed by some guy at one point though.. he was really moving. I tried to keep pace with him for a bit just to see how fast, and he was over 1min/mi faster than me, though today wasn't my "fast" day anyway.
Saw four or five buns. Some days, I see none... some days, more than I can keep track of. Also saw some cute runner girls.

My RHR hasn't changed since I've been on it. Mine stays in the mid 50's. I don't really know the reason why it hasn't. It may just be that I'm been on the same low dose since I've been on it. Granted, I take tolerance breaks on days I'm off. I only take it for work and if I need to get something done on the weekends

I wish that I was still at my old workplace. At that place, I would get off of work and go to the river trail. The next day after New Years 2022, I started seeing a fat girl running. It was nice seeing her improve. She was doing the usual run/walk/run everyone does. By close to the end of 2023, she lost so much weight and we would pass by each other often just running back and forth between mile markers.

I've ran a 10k twice, but my 5k pace is currently at 11:30 / mile

Should I try to train for longer runs (maybe a half marathon?) at this pace or should I be trying to improve this pace? Most of the paces I see posted online are quite a bit faster than this. The limitation currently feels like my lungs aren't able to keep up, and I'm in zone 4 / 5 HR most of the run. halp

How do I avoid the "runner stitch" ?

I just started running but it's very annoying.
I am trying to do a 5K mixed running and walking, but at some point I get it and then I can no longer run or it comes back immediately.

Last week I did 2.5km when I got it, then next time I tried to breathe deeper and relax my shoulders and I did 5km but still got it on the way back, today I had to stop at 2.5km again.
>>
>>76707970
different stitches in different locations mean different things. Eating or drinking too much immediately before running gives me one in the middle left. Not breathing correctly gives me one underneath the right rib. That one's usually too tough to ignore. I've heard it's because of stale breath that never gets replaced by not breathing fully, but I've also heard it's just a metabolic build-up thing with the liver or gallbladder or something, or a sensitive capillary, idk. Sometimes tucking my ribcage forward and into it a tiny bit helps

The breath one isn't that hard to get rid off.
You buy a large balloon, exhale to bottom, and then force yourself to keep on going. And you will get bad cough fits the first few times doing it.
The only real trick is that you need to go from somewhat mid or full lungs to actually bottom out, and you are having side stiches because you are lacking the exhale muscles to do that.

If you are willing to order of wish/amazon, get some really really big balloons, so you can get 10-15 full breaths in there, to avoid having to do multiple balloon fillings to do one set.
It shouldn't take more than 2-3 weeks to completely get rid of it, assuming its breath related. The food variety still isn't solved by professional runners, they just try space out eating and drinking enough to remove the risk.
>>
>>76707970
>>76708027
>>76708169
Yeah it's the "exhaling" that's critical.
Another test is to exhale now while you're resting, count how many seconds you can stay without needing to inhale (don't hold it uncomfortably, breathe in when you must), and you'll probably notice you can last way longer than you expect. And when running, as mentioned you're probably not exhaling entirely even though you have the capacity to let more out so you can suck more in

>>76708568
What was the aim of the session? I would be tempted to slow the warm up and down miles so that you are fresher before you do the 400s. You don't really want to be gassed before you start the quality part of the session. This will be more important as you increase the distance or number of reps.

Definitely to just set a baseline. Now I know about 1:20 per 400m has me gassed, I’ll chip away at sub1:20 next session. Felt like I treated the mile warm up/cool down more like 1600m repeats.

My most recent 5k time is 19:41, but I’m in marathon training now. Did the track session for glute/quad activation that my long runs don’t get at.

Yes 20km a week probably less to be honest.
>>
>>76709957
I was just thinking a deficit of 0.5kg per week until i'm close to my goal weight, then slow it down a bit and coast if i hit it early. It's not a number i HAVE to hit when I'm at race day, I just want to get close to it. I'm not super duper serious about the race - it's just easier for me to reach my goals when i have a competition date set since it reminds me of competing in powerlifting , which i was a lot more consistent with when i had a meet coming up.

running has been fine so far but just checking
when i run i feel like my left leg is doing more kinda 'striding' and my right leg is kinda taking a shorter step and i'm falling onto it slightly heavier, not painfully it just feels uneven - should i actively try to stop that or will it just even out over time

similarly i feel like i run with my feet sorta more on the inside of my feet, with the outside ball of my foot making minimal contact, again is this a problem i need to actively fix or will it even out over time or can i just ignore it for now and keep running

I just started ROONING and I’d say I’ve done less than 20 miles. Yesterday I wanted to run for 45 minutes and see how that goes. Got exactly 5 miles in 45 minutes.
“Training” to do a half marathon. Is this good? I’ve got like 2.5 weeks until the half marathon, I’d like to be under 2 hours.

Is this realistic? Is this good pace for someone that’s just started rooning? I’ve always been a decent runner by no effort of my own, but asthma as a child made running hurt like hell. Now that I don’t have asthma as an adult, running feels way better.

Managed to run 30 minutes twice this morning with just a 5 minutes or so walk between the two. Hope I can just run an hour soon. And then try to run 10K in that hour I guess, came to around ~8,2km today.

Anyone have form tips for taller runners? I can't really find anything useful just google searching. I'm 6'4 240lb (cutting now) and my joints feel great, but I feel like as I increase the pace I need to be proactive about injury prevention. Currently a 10km run for me is about 63 minutes and it's like 6-7/10 effort. When I do 16km runs I need a way longer recovery time, makes running feel like shit for like 5 days after
>>
>>76710933
I’m 6’2” and 220, but have been 235-240 before. Making sure I get enough protein has worked for me over the years. A protein shake immediately after roon/stretch is super important if you don’t plan to eat for an hour+ after your run. I aim for 100-150g protein a day and I’ve run 100mi/month since January.

Other than that, at your training level, just get comfortable running 3-5 miles per run and don’t go crazy. 60min is a long run. 45 minutes is more sustainable. It’s much better to do 5x 40min runs a week than 3x 60min runs.

Unironically diet is something most runners overthink. As long as you are getting carbs and protein in and enough calories to allow you to recover you'll get within 90% of your potential eating any old slop. The last 10% requires perfect nutrition, which is why pro athletes have a chef.

Most amateurs just need to run more to get faster. A dyel running 6 days a week and scoffing down a burger king every day will make vastly more gains than someone running 3x a week with the "perfect" diet.

Now comparing health 30 years down the line is a different story, but if you just want to git fast then there are much lower hanging fruit to pick off.

If you were a decent enough runner for this to matter, or for anyone to care, those improvements would get you to the world record within 2-3 sessions.

You’re just fat and slow.

Congrats, that is some good progress!
I feel really slow, I've been running again for about 4-5 months now (three times per week), but for most of my runs, I still do about 9:50 min/miles (6-6:20 min/km) despite being only about 141 lbs (64 kg) at 6'0 (185cm)
How far do you usually run at the pace you mentioned? I have been doing one longer run (like 15-18 km at like 6:20 min/km) and two shorter runs (like 7-13 km at 6-6:10 min/km) per week for a while.

you're supposed to fall forward, strike with the forefoot under your hips, then pull the other leg forward to repeat.
the plyometrics joke is that running is just single-leg hopping, which is how I've actually 'run' all my adult life, but that's stupid.

most important for injury prevention is strength training legs and core
>>
>>76711416
Only if you’re a panty boy. At 6’4” 240 he’s not a wussy. You have to have solid legs/core already to even exist at that size. Most important is introducing volume very gradually and consistency. Avoid yolo high mileage spikes

Are you on roads that are "crowned"? Problem is if you run on one side of crowned roads you will always have one foot lower. I try going to the other side of the road every once in a while to balance it a little, but unfortunately this is not always possible.

I am currently actually considering getting the garmin hrm-600 for that left-right balance data and better HR data. Mostly because it seems cool and I want it. Anyone have this one? It seems hella expensive but if it's well made at least it's a one time purchase. Also considering first getting some 30$ thing with ant+ to just get the HR data. I worry I will still want the balance data though.

need to ensure strong legs even more at that size

Sober for 24 days. Quit my job at the brewery as my drinking got out of control the last few years. I went pretty hard from like 16 or 17 but I'm 33 now. It's taken it's toll physically, mentally, and spiritually. Also quit sugar at the same time.

It's not the fastest but I'm getting healthy again. Resting heart rate down from 85 to 56. I'm aging in reverse. Feel great. I could have kept running but I didn't bring water and my knee started getting wonky.

I'm probably going to grow cannabis in the mountains of Northern New Mexico. Got hired as an assistant grower. Still a vice but it's harm reduction, and the head grower is sober too. I kept blacking out at the end of my drinking career and it was getting scary. Running gives me the same "oblivion" mental state where I don't exist. Bliss.

based. I'm not totally sober, but I've managed to curb my drinking a lot this year. it was getting pretty life threatening

Got mogged so hard that I gassed out.
Was supposed to hit 4:30 pace for 3 minutes but on my 3rd rep there was this dude there that was casually running at that speed and instead of following I tried to pass him so I hit the wall and had to slow the fuck down just a few seconds afterwards. The graph shows it pretty clearly lol.

I have scoliosis and it has not given me any trouble for the past few years (since I changed mattress) but I started running and going to the gym last month and now it's back. It's muscle pain and goes away after I warm up, so I don't feel it during exercise. But just standing still doing nothing (like in the kitchen) is hell and my entire back just locks up after 5-10 minutes.
>>
I just went for my first roon. I’m a sedentary fuck barely averaging 1k steps a day. Still I somehow managed to overestimate my capabilities.

>4.31km
>8’51” Pace

Shameful. Even more shocking that it was so intense for me. Do I go on longer runs at a slower pace, or shorter runs at quicker pace?

What do I do if my left leg gets numb after 4k mark? The numbness starts from the ankle and goes up to my knee. Today I got numb at 2nd km so it's getting worse.
>>
>>76713138
The goal of all training is to train as hard and long as you can... without injury or long-term fatigue building up (which leads to injury). Making every session intense will cause injury. 80% of your runs should be easy i.e. slow pace. Injury means skipping training, which is much more significant than the difference between easy and intense.

>>76713247
The cheapest one.

>>76704344
Are expensive running shoes worth it if you don't have deformed feet or some shit like that? I'm using shitty cheap decathlon shoes but sometimes get pain in my archilles tendon after running and don't know if better shoes might fix it

Instead of running I tried walking fast today and I did 1hr 20 mins at a pretty steady heart rate of around 135-140, my watch said I was in the "aerobic zone 3" for over 1 hour.

Isn't that better than jogging for 25 mins and dying of death? I can't run that long even if I stop to walk in between because thins start to hurt.

Or is it better to alternate heart rates up and down instead of keeping it steady in that zone?

I just finished week 5 day 2 of c25k. I run 2 days a week instead of 3 because I also lift 3 days a week.

Today's session was 8 mins running, 5 mins walk, 8 more mins running.
It says that the next session is supposed to be 21 minutes running. I am absolutely gassed after 8 minutes of running. How the heck am I supposed to run for 21 mins straight?!

I’m sure there is some incel overlap, but rooners are more likely to be autist who maybe have 2-3 friends and just go to work, roon, and maybe one more hobby. If they get a spouse they interact 90% with them.
