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).>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/cock and ball torturehttps://sites.google.com/view/sub-threshold/home>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-calculatorhttps://lactrace.com/norwegian-singlesPrevious: >>77296841

No runner girls op pic? lameNew shoes felt alright, but they need to break in. Still some pain in my leg after about 2.5 mi. So, not recovered yet.Saw 1 heron perched in a tree and 17 buns (but 5 were dupes I think).
legs have been pretty sore
>>77320214Go jack off and get back to your family
>>77320174hey this isn't a hot chickyou've betrayed me for the last time
When does it get easier? Right now if I jog on the treadmill at 9km/h I can last about 5-6 minutes before being wiped. I can walk at 7 for 30+ mins (legs were burning by the end) but the second it turns into a jog it destroys me.>inb4 why not run outsideBecause I like how the treadmill kinda forces me to keep a constant pace or else I'll fall
>>77321053Dying after 1km is dire how many years have you spent without moving
>>77321061Many anon, many. Which is why I decided enough was enough and that I had to start working out and doing cardio before it was too late.
>>77321053just keep showing up and everything will click eventuallysource: was a fat fuck
I'm 29 and do 5Ks thrice a week, am I too unc to start training for a marathon?
>>77321500you are the right amount of faggot
>>77321501
>>77320214You won't, you're a betabuxx provider and if you were going to do it you would have by now. Instead you're blogposting on a mongolian fly fishing board about your daydreams.
took a huge shit on the side of the road today 8 mi into my long run
>>77321505>queefs gifcalled it
>>77321053>When does it get easier?On my 4th week of C25K today after being sedentary for a good decade. And it feels significantly easier to breathe compared to the start, legs feel fine as well.Also I made the big mistake of being overzealous and "checking how long I can last" after finishing my week 2 session and ran home @ 10km/h for 15 minutes and fucked up my knees for almost two weeks. Don't be me!! Take it easy but consistently.Btw why is everyone in this general always so horny?
i smile whenever i run fast and it's so embarrassing when people stare at me how do i make running not fun
>>77321640running makes you hornyfacts
>>77321698Remember that someone ran 42.2km in under two hours.
>>77321704multiple people actually
How many pair of shoes do you have? I see a lot of memes about people having 5+ pairs. I have 2, both are "daily trainers".
>>77321506lmao wait until you find out how much money my wife makes
>>77321889>daily trainer / LSD shoe>tempo/interval shoe>old pair of race shoes for workout long runs>marathon race shoe>5k/10k race shoe>trail shoeSix pairs.
>>77321889two - new one for running and old one for inclement weather
Its amazing how much easier running becomes when im not running in sweltering heat.
>>77321991Bruh don't remind me it's scheduled to hit 100° F on friday....
>>773218892. Some cheap high rises for 4x4 runs and owning people on weekend. Barefoot for regular week forest monkey in between trees roons.
>>77321945>my wife is the breadwinner>I daydream of fucking some coal burner with a neck tattoo all dayNot the flex you think it is
>1h roon 2 days after new 5k PR>start feeling very chilly 30min in, at the furthest>it's sunny outside think I'm hitting the wall, possibly bleeding out internally or having a heart attack>start walking back in shame>turns out there was cold front my mind's playing tricks on meI used to run in the early morning with freezing temps I'd never feel cold that deep into a run maybe I was hitting the wall, but I was not nauseous
>>77321889>he doesn't have a pair of shoes for training in each hr zone
Do you ever wonder what it feels like to be fat? Must be horrendous. 70kg is the heaviest I've ever been and when I run at that weight it is noticeable more difficult than my usual 68kg weight. Losing 1kg must be the equivalent of a month's good training.
>>77321889I have about 8 pairs. Not because I autistically select different shoes for every scenario, I just grab a new pair whenever a see a good shoe with 50% discount. They'll all get used up eventually. Really 2 pairs is enough, a slow plodder pair for easy runs and a faster shoe for tempos and workouts.
>>77322362what do you wear when you have a 30km+ long run with a big section at marathon pace? most tempo shoes are lousy for that what about for racing? marathon distance?trails?
>>77321549oo was it steamy? love a good shit when running, feels amazing afterwards
>>77322782nah man people have gone soft and reliant on super shoes. you can run marathon pace in a chunky ass pair of vomeros
>>773218892x novablast2x rebel 4 (mistake)1x aeroglide1x evo sl1x superblast1x escalante1x lone peak1x barefoot shoe
>>77322352nigga 1kg is a shit and piss and some sweat. But yeah I guess depending on where on your body you carry weight it could probably be like the difference between hokas and vaporfly. but also i gained 2 kg from running and that doesn't seem to affect my performance. like weight gained in muscle carries itself.
>>77322352because you are weak
>>77323093It's still 1kg of useless fat. It's only a very small difference but it's enough to notice it. Without standing on a scales I can tell I've put on that 1kg just from how the running feels. Got me wondering what it feels like to have 10kg extra fat
>>77322805surebut whatever pace you can run in a vomero plus, you can run a faster pace in a carbon plated race shoe. simple as. why not get a better race time? are you too poor to spend a few hundred on shoes?
>>77323256obviously you wear the race shoes in the race. we're talking about a training run. and part of the problem is attention seeking cunts wanting to show off on strava so they wear the race shoes every training run. no need for it
>>77323263so you have three pairs of shoes?cause i’m pretty sure you’re the one who said you only need two pairs of shoesand what about trails?that’s at least four pairs
>>77323272bruh the same post I said I have 8 pairsthat has nothing to do with anything
>>77323263why does this upset you?
>>77323315do what you want. just making a point it's not necessaryI'll be wearing my carbons in training tomorrow for a fast session
ran a 19:30 2 mileI think I'm ready for the big leagues, heh.....
I have one pair of shoes that I use for both everyday wear and running. I really should get a second pair just for running, these ones are almost 6 months old of everyday use.>>77323493Better than a 24 minute 2 mile.
I finally finished my first half marathon. Been following Hal Higdon's novice 1 program. It wasn't an official race, just me running by my own so no aid stations. Managed to finish in 1:59:11, but despite the time I don't feel good at all about the run. The first half went pretty well with a good pace but in the second half I crashed hard and basically had to limp over the "finish line".I was hoping to start training for a marathon in autumn, but with how poorly this half marathon went I'm not sure I'm anywhere near ready to start training for a marathon.
>>77323714Did you fuel during the run?
>>77323714you are babycakes
>>77323725I did. Although by kilometer 11 I was struggling to get the fuel into me.
>>77323725L0L
>>77323784If you followed the training plan correctly it may have just been an off day. I'd keep training for the full, just have a,b&c goal times, even big fats finish marathons (mostly walking albeit) but if your goal is just to finish, its certainly doable.
>>77323714I ran my first marathon last fall. In June I ran a 2:01 HM but by October I was able to run a sub 3:45 full. It’s certainly doable if you put in the effort. My best advice would be to find a run club that has a marathon program.Also don’t underestimate the power of a formal event vs running on your own. The crowds and the competitors get your adrenaline pumping.
>>77323994wow thats a big improvement
I ran for two years. I loved it, one of my favorite exercise all time. But in the final analysis of being a running these years I: >actually gained weight >fucked up calf and ankle I am not just walking for two hours a day after lifting and Im losing a ton of weight and I have no pain.
>>77324035Gaining and losing weight are optical illusions you've gotta monitor your body fat
>>77323784what was your fueling strategy?i have 2x 250ml flasks, each with 50g of carbs, I start drinking at like 45 mins and just sip as I go, usually done them both by 1.5 hrs in, even if my run is over 2 hours I feel good by the time I'm home
Thanks whoever brought up the existence of gnats in a previous thread. Now I know exactly what those fuckers are called because they keep splashing into my eyelids and up my nose/mouth. I come home with black specks in my eyes, no wonder I kept blinking during the last run.Sounds like some ligma tier disease but it's just little fuckers in the air. FUCK GNATS. THIS IS NOT A MEME.
I have begun to to run in zone 2 for 30 minutes a day, what else should i do for general fitness? maybe increase it to 45 minutes or more? do some zone 4/5 sprints or something?
>>77325099better to run for an hour than two half hours probably. Once you're ready to do it of course. Don't be obsessed with zones, but yeah vary the speeds. Obviously shorter days are more suitable for trying a bit faster or a few faster bits.
>>77325099>what else should i do for general fitness?stop obsessing about zones
Saw six buns
if you could only spam one exercise for weight training for the rest of your life which one would it be
>>77320214Is she a bunny tho or just some beat mid

got my second 5k attempt tomorrow. last one was in march and i got 20.40ish. training been mildly interrupted this block but I’m hoping for 19.50ish so i can claim victory over running and go back to lifting more
>In week 4 of c25k>also doing stronglifts so squatting 3x per week>Work on my feet all daymy shit is cooked /b/ros, when will my legs adapt to this?Also trying to gain 2lbs per month
>intended to only run for 4.5 miles, trying to build up mileage to 6>accidentally ran for close to 5 miles.I am getting stronger I think. My running playlist was only set to about 40 minutes because I run about 1 mile per minute. Guess I'm getting faster
>>77326418>I run about 1 mile per minute.Literally what did he mean by this?
>>77326519Kek, I meant 10 miles per minute
>>7732656010 minutes per mile fuck I cant type right now

>>77324084What recipe do you make up for the flasks? Just sugar water or do you add electrolytes too?
>>77320174
>>77326670was a 00:26:44 5km. my second fastest ever.
>>77324084I seriously hope you guys are drinking more than 250ml an hour in summer
