Don't do running, replace with any other cardio.
Your goal is only to keep your heart rate in the desired zone with no impact to joints

You don't. I've stopped running, my cardio is shit, but I'm looking better than ever.

I used to run, even ran a marathon, but it got boring. I just replaced my work commute with cycling and called it a day.

I dropped my lifting from 6x a week to 3x and i jog on my off days.
My cardio was not improving because i would be drained from my high volume lifts.

Weak person cope

Never ran.
Did inclined treadmill (mornings) and weight training (evenings) until i reached target weight - then alternate.
Lost 27kg

Idk, still figuring it out. Right now I run 6 days a week and lift 4. Bench has hit a plateau that I need to figure out how to break, but everything else is progressing.

Running doesnt make you strong, takes one look at any runner to know kek

I've been doing light calisthenics since 2016 and cardio since 2018. I was a pretty good runner, I could run 10km with a pace of 4:30/km or even faster. Ran half marathons too.
6 months ago I started going to the gym and eating enough calories and protein and put on 11kg of mostly lean mass. Running more than 5km hurts my calves now and my pace has dropped significantly too, I'm now closer to 5:30 pace on longer distances (I guess I can be below 5:00 too but it's harder).
As another anon has said, imo, cycling and swimming is superior if you're also weightlifting and aiming to be strong and heavy.

True, running only works out some dumb muscle you can't even see and is therefore worthless.

>>77308380
Be under 175lbs that's how.

I ruck lmao

>>77308574
This, you should sprint instead
Sprinters and rugby/foot guys are all jacked and strong while being fast. Humans arent good at running endurance, only walking and moderate stroll endurance
>>77308601
Lifting works that too

Won’t I pull a hamstring?

>>77308574
Have you never played in or seen a rugby match before? Playing it has made my fitness standards high because of how many players are really strong with crazy endurance. Just running doesnt make you stronger but I dont see the point in being strong if you cant run a fucker down.

>>77308380
You really need to experiment with volume/frequency/intensity/fatigue. Really start "light", experiment for a few weeks, and if its all good, you can increase. And if you increase until you start getting accumulated fatigue, back off.

like everything in the gym you ramp up.
if you start rooning 5 miles every day immediately you will get injured.
increase mileage slowly week by week, sleep and eat. i would roon trails after leg days, you will get used to the fatigue with time.

Hill sprints

In part what >>77308654 said.

I played rugby for 6 years and if you couldn't run, sprint, and recover, doesn't matter how beef you were, you were trash.

Also, running makes you mentally strong. Like rucking in the army, it steels the will, fortifies the mind. You build your heart strength and all that, and even get joint building via stress from the impacts, but the discipline, that's the good stuff.

Lifting is easy, it's effort but it's fun. Running is nose to the grindstone being a fucking man.

It destroys your joints

>>77309253
Not in moderation. Running 5k a couple two or three days a week won't explode your joints, not if you're healthy anyways.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good, just because you're not aiming to be a Goggins tier ultra marathoner doesn't mean you can't run from time to time.

ignore all the retards.
You can do both
I just got home from running 10k at 49 min.
Yesterday I benched 100(kg)x10 and squatted 140x5x5.
Keep being consistent and never listen to depressive negative nancies

In the Winter/ Lifting season I transition to more high intensity cardio (Sprints, HIIT, sled pushes, ) jump rope would fit there. I also do a lot of judo sparring all year round, so I get a fair bit of 'short but intense' cardio anyway.

Lift twice a week and run once a week
