Relay EditionAdvice 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: >>77377071

Has anybody here ever overcome long term shin splints? I've been to different doctors multiple times over the years but the little stretching lists they give me have never helped much.
Hot, humid, poor air quality, overall a shitty run.Saw 8 buns though.
>>77408014there's nothing wrong with your skeleton and musculature that doctors can diagnose or fixfix your form, warm up, eat your veggies
>>77408014you gotta do the strengthening shit for ankles and and calves and tibialis. search youtube for the exercises and do them religiously
>>77407983>or
>>77408042running strengthens those, unless you run by slapping your feet on the floor like a hand puppet
>>77408047well apparently not enough if he has shin splintswhat the fuck is this post nigga
>>77407864why do the fat ones still wear the bikini bottoms with all the fat sticking out?
/roon/step/ Alliance >>77403130
>>77408047lol watInjuries are part of running you gotta do your strength stuff. Ideally before you get injured to prevent the injuryEveryone should be doing some form or core work and lower body lifting
>>77408083long term shin splints and >>77407957are not a part of running, they're a part of being a retard it's like having a car that steers right and not doing something about it or a hallway that chirps
>>77408083>injuries are part of running Do you realize how insane that sounds?Why would you willingly accept injury. But guess what they aren’t part of walking though. I walk about 8-10 miles a day and because it’s so low impact I can do it every day no injuries if I want to push I just incline walk It just takes a tad bit longer So why don’t you just walk and not get hurt?
>>77408096bruh you're in a running thread telling people not to runPro athletes with all the best physios and resources still get injured. It's part of the game. Minimizing the risk by doing your strength training is also part of the game. And when you do get injured you do the specific rehab exercises for that injury to prevent if reoccurring. This is basic shit.
>>77408107Runners get injured by slipping on a banana peel or twisting their ankle on a loose floor tile not due to overuse (over-misuse). It has nothing to do with the type of injuries amateurs get.
>>77408118Ahh ok I thought most people get injured from grinding their tendons down and cartlidge because they force themselves to run when they aren’t naturally runnersI guess you could also slip on a banana too Anyways someone should be in /step/ before they graduate to /roon/ if they are heavier for Their joints
>>77408118You sound like terrible AI slop
>>77407864i want to pinch #3's belly.
>>>77406551yes, I dont NEED to eat the equivalent of 5 coke cans every day I go for a 90-minute run and neither should you, you hyperglycemic faggot
I almost stepped on this friendly noodle. Thank goodness it made a sound. Now I need a new place to run.
>>77408595would have ran right over a copperhead last week if not for me quitting the run 30 seconds beforedid you not see it? my monkey brain did at the last second
>ran 3 min at 4min pace after an embarrassingly slow 5k4 min km soon20min 5k less than soon40min 10k one day it's inevitable
if im a newbie fatty lifter doing a LP program and i want to try adding c25k to my routine, would it be better to do them after my lifts MWF or do lifting MWF and then the cardio on TThSa?
>>77408613>running 3 minutes in 4 minutesholy shit
>>77408617whichever sounds easier to stick to imho staying 20-30 minutes longer at the gym once you're already there takes almost no willpower and steals no gains, it's what pro bodybuilders do
>>77408599I fucking hate snakes, man.
>>77408631Snakes are friends. Sea lions, though, sea lions I could do without.
>>77408641Snakes are friends, but scary.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7PD8DXhhQ7g
>>77408617I would start by running on the same day as lifting. The hardest part is sticking to a routine, and doing it EVERY day is something that you only do once you're addicted to exercise like me.Also just that the early runs take barely any time, so it's a waste to make them into an entire session.And lastly because I personally think that treadmills are goated for beginners. Most beginners try to run way too fast for their level, but a treadmill can teach you how to pace yourself. When I started, my walking pace on the treadmill was 5.5km/hr and my running pace was 6.5km/hr. Just focus on becoming The Chad, with tiny beetle-like strides.
>>77408665>>77408630thanks anonsnot really /run/ related but yesterday i did my lifting session and then c25k day 1 after work (usually like 4-5 hours before i sleep) and then i slept fucking horribly, woke up like 20 times over the 7 hours of sleep, do you think that will go away with time or should i shift to working out in the morning?
>>77408595I almost tripped over a fox yesterday. It was pitch black and I could barely see, and I guess he could barely see either. I jumped backwards when I almost stepped on him, and he jumped backwards too.
>>77408689>then i slept fucking horriblyprobably your cns firinghad that when i 1st started getting my fitness back in order felt like my brain was sleeping but my body was awake and electric almost
i runned today sirs
i did a roon
>>77407864the soles of my feet really hurt, specially the archesI didn't run that much yestersay tho so idk what to do or what's the fix...
>>77409151le me who cant maintain a >6 pace in my daily 4 km
>>77409151proper run that14k is the longest I've done all year. did it about the same pace
what the fuck is the point if you are not black? like seriously, is this whole thread nigs? because if not, you will never be able to compete against one who had the same amount or less training than you
>>77409599>NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOW DARE YOU NOT DO THINGS BECAUSE IT IS FUN!!!! EVERYTHING MUST BE A COMPETITION!!!!!!
>>77409157>heelSee if high arch inserts help. generic ones>band from the heel to the toesJust do the lower stretch on the image. If anybody has a better alternative, I'd love to hear them.
Just started C25K after years of inactivity but noticed my heart rate is around 180 when running as slow as possible and 150-160 when walking. Tried just doing a 30 minute walk and averaged 150 heart rate even though I don't feel exerted at all. What do i do here? Fuck it we ball and keep running? Just walk a couple of weeks?
going to start training for 10km now that I am comfortably running 5km every run
>>77409665get on a treadmill and explore the limits of how slow you can actually jog, the bottom is 0mphyou're also probably not walking or running efficiently practice alone should bring those down so do both (finish the program)
>>77409665It'll get better overtime.Maybe only walk for a bit though instead of running? Like a month or two, get used to moving again before running.
seems my left foot goes numb no matter what I do after 3 milesgot new shoes that are sized up and widecan even not tie the left shoe at all and it still happensany ideas?
4 x 5 mingood session but went too hard. was suffering on the last repcrossfit games starts today. they have a 7k trail run today with 4 big hills. love watching these cunts try to run. they are quite fast in fairness. anyway it will be on youtube if you want to watch it.
>>77408043Yes my joogle fitness tracker isn't cleancut sometimes
>>77409599The best runner in the world right now is white though
>>77409994now do 100m, 200m, 400m and marathonthings people care about
>>77410002roon isnt about sprinting
>>77410025Mate if you sprint a whole marathon, I'll eat my fucking shoes.
>want to run>sun jew says noWhy the fuck do I have to live in the south? God, I fucking HATE summer so much its unreal. I'm too broke to move out yet because of jewflation and my parents won't let me get a treadmill either.
>>77410094>no humidity
>>77410025>troon isnt about sprinting
>>77410165So?
>>77410002nobody knows the name of the guy who broke 2 hours a few months ago you stupid baiting retard
>>77409994>needed the super shoes>needed the light pacer Yep. Guerrouj still the best for not needing any of that. >>77410447>guyGuys. Sawa (the record holder) and Kejelcha (came in second during the same race). Both broke the sub-2 barrier. Granted, they had the super-one-time-use shoes, it shows how great they are to not only break that barrier, but to maintain a much higher pace for 42k. It's different from the le mile.
>>77410576>Guerrouj still the best for not needing any of thatYeah he had something even better than shoes, lights, and bicarb combined
>>77410618>EPOWhich is what just about every endurance athlete is still using.
>>77410165phwoar excellent kittingtonshire diss wun
>>77410576yeh kiplimo maybe woulda broke barrier if he had special shoes toojosh kerr also had special made.shoes
>>77410636yeh but maybe el guerrouj woulda been caught
>>77410094just run at evening time
>>77408552you sound very cranky anon i think you havent been getting enough carbs in
>>77409665Base everything off effort for the first few months. Do walk-run intervals if you want to get used to the discomfort of rooning and progressively overload slowly>>77409768Used to have the same issue - your calves are probably tight. Foam roll before runs and do more calf stretches. If you can do calf raises on an elevated platform and go down really deep that helps too. And chill a bit with heavy hamstring work if you're gonna run the same day
>>77410636At least they have to microdose now, Kerr would never get away with what El G presumably did
>>77410094wake up early retard
>>77407864>>77408076thas sprint bitch bot gpt, sprint & roids rooning is a COMPLETELY different thing it's like conflating resistance training with sweeping the floor all day
My overweight friend just ran 19:40 for a 5k. No excuses lads
I’m overweight and run a 5k daily under 09:30 your friend stinks.
Felt like I was gonna shit my pants on my morning roon today. Managed to make it the half mile to my home without a disaster and an extremely satisfying bowl cleanse. I feel so much better. Only the second time such an occurrence has happened to me.
>>77412026*bowel cleansefuck im retarded
C25k week 5 day 2I'm going redo said session tomorrow after 2 days of rest because I took like 5 mins rest in the middle.My knee still feels a bit "tense" and calves still a bit tight, should I attempt it regardless?
Man I love running
>>77412199You should attempt the last day
>>77412282skip it then?
>>77412199Whether it's a training program or a drug you're taking it's almost always better to stick to the program and continue as if you hadn't skipped a day instead of trying to make up for it.
>drink coffee before morning roons>constantly have to hold in my piss towards the last 10 minutesits all so tiring. im considering just going for caffeine pills now but i love black coffee
I just use caffeine pills. I don't see the use case for a whole ass coffee
>>77412468just get some pre workout if you really can't run without caffeine
So I’m on my last week of c25k and the runs are starting to get unmanageable. I’m at my limit the whole time and panting and heaving like a fat retard. I kind of am a fat retard for what it’s worth. What should I do? Runs are averaging like 5.3mph.
>>77412589go even slower
what socks should i run in that wont get holes but also wont feel dramatically different from cotton
>>77412621What should I eat before a run and how long before?
>>77412634>that wont get holesAnon, I.....
>>77412736ahahahah look at this virgin that admitted he doesnt get holes
>>77412675looks like you're trying to lose weight so run fasted. your body will adaptalso im kinda surprised that running is still so hard for you after a 9 week couch to 25k program but i've never tried that program
>>77412745I mean I’ve made gainz. I’m also lifting and cutting.
Did my first marathon and around 18 km my knees REALLY HURT. I eventually finished at 6 hours but I had to take a lot of breaks.I have to do another mara in early October, how do I improve? Just add more weekly km? I was up to 47km weekly at my peak.
>>77412978sounds miserable ngl
>>77412773you're doing fine, just keep at it>>77412978anon why are you doing so many races but yes just increase mileage to maybe 60-80k to make it more comfortable. or maybe 6-6.5 hours time on feet
>>77412589Take it easy cardio barely burns any calories, skipping a meal does more to lose weight than running 20k..
Never understood the mileage thing. My last HM was close to 1:30 and I only do like 25km a week (x1 short, x1 long). Marathons at 3:40 are doable like that, even 3:30 isn't a stretch
>>77413262whats there to understandyeh obvi nuffink wrong wiv just keep daein what ye daein nowbut you would obviously do much better than 1:30 if you chose to sustain serious training consistently in the long term wiv higher mileage simple as
>>77413119Running 20K deletes a whole big meal though.Better running than skip it.
quick anons i need tips on how to look good in marathon photos that don't involve already being good looking
New runner here.I think I fucked up my right calf going down the stairs too fast. It doesn't hurt to walk or stand or jog in place but when I squeeze the back of my calf 1/4 of the way up it kinda hurts.Question is if I should skip my run tomorrow to prevent making this minor injury into a bigger one? I've been icing it and using a foam roller but I don't think it's going to be 100% by tomorrow morning
>>77413593You should do heavy sprinting tomorrow, more exertion = faster healing, especially for tendons.
>>77413596that was I what was thinkingthanks for the assurance anon
>>77413596movement helps healing but going full retard now is going to just risk injuring it more. But like you can basically still do most exercises up to but excluding hard sprinting.
>>77413620if you count walking as exercise maybe
So I started running again after putting on like 10kg and not running for 2 years, im 6,3 and 105kg and i've never had such a hard time running in all my life. I used to be able to do 10km runs multiple times a week and now i can barely do a 3km route around my block. My oura ring data tells me my average HR is like 180 peaking at almost 190. The thing is, i'm on purposely trying to slow myself down when running, almost to a walking pace, but it doesn't really help as my HR is staying the same/still increasing. Do I really have to stop to walk in-between my runs, to get my HR down until the weight comes off or should i just power through it and risk heart failure when i get home? Or is this a nothingburger?
>>77408014stretching to touch my toes solved mine. best to sit on the floor with feet flat against a wall
>>77413555just be grateful your skeltal wrists don't flop around like a trex in literally every pic
>>77413798How tf did you do that at 95kg? I'm a bit taller and 75kg and I thought running at 80 was hard, and I'm aiming to go back down to 72 or so.
I used to just run without any watch tracker or whatever but this week I started using an app on my phone to use GPS to record my runs. I think it's a nice compromise.

Red pill me on picrel
first run in 3 years is it over
>>77414064I have these. Doesn't really feel any different from my regular socks. I guess my feet and toes chafe less? Great reactions though if you pull it out and show people lol
>>77414194i mean you can have 4 mcnuggets now for running just 2km. double edged sword of weighing what 100kgi just found out my garmin calorie burn is just kg * km lmao so now i can reverse engineer peoples weight hehe
Rooned this morning. Still a lot of soreness in my right hamstring, but it's manageable. I ran without music today so I could focus a bit more on form (which has gotten sloppy from the pain). But then I could hear my own footsteps echoing and that was spooky.Saw five buns and one big heron.
>>77414613i used to do 4 miles in 30 mins 4x a week as my upkeep and just completely stopped when i had kids, and since then ive shot up from 180 to 210lbs. Dr told me its officially time to lose weight so i guess im working from here back up to 4 miles in 30 mins 4x a week. but ive never been fat before so i dont know how to do it besides just run til i cant anymore 4x a week.
>>77407864uuhhh
>>77414734>just run til i cant anymoredon't do this anyway. mostly easy runs will do the job until you gain some fitness
117° outside. Cicadas screaming. I Smoke a bunch of weed and run. I pretend im piloting a giant mech on a toxic alien wasteland planet. Gregorian chants and scifi OSTs. Bliss
>>77413798There is nothing wrong with doing runs as intervals. Don't worry too much about heart rate and focus more on slowly increasing your time running time and pacing the best you can. I just finally got cleared by my PT to start running again. Though aerobically I can go right back to running straight (I did: 30 minutes) because of the cross training I did during that time (try 3 agonizing hours on the elliptical.) Though, reintroducing the pounding to my legs, it makes it hurt to do so. So, I'm just re-introducing it by doing run/walk per PT instructions. I'm now at 10min run/30sec walk. That was starting back doing 1min run/1min walk. Doing this, it doesn't bother my legs. I'm going to keep adding a minute to every run part until 20 minutes. After that, he thinks I'll be able to go except for long runs, which if I do, my PT says to use Galloway until my legs can readjust. It hurts the ego, but it has to be done.
>>77414747I find this kinda hot in a weird way
>>77414757Thanks, I will try running intervals starting tomorrow. It's an ago thing for sure, and I was angry at myself for barely being able to do a short run. I guess we all have to start or restart somewhere. Hope your runs go well anon!
>>77408595Nothing like the rush of hearing the rattle out of nowhere.
>>77413798hit ~195 many times after a decade off any cardioyou are just really out of shape just gotta put in the time now

Rooned 6 miles, napped, did squat and deadlift workout hit a new deadlift peak workout 5 245ibs sets of 4 with minimal rest since gym was closing
Phwoar long run was ruined by a forced toilet break 2/3 of the way in, but redeemed because that break made me encounter a DOZEN kangaridoos all running along the road. Never see them on this track on my normal schedule. Thankfully they were focused on running together so no danger of getting heemed mid-run

>>77417012did treadmill at the gymthe issue is my HR drifts way to fast outside in this heat/humidity and it fucks up my performance fall can't come soon enough
>>77416862they mostly didn't run in high school and everyone who didn't run competitively as a teenager is inevitably slow for the rest of their life
i'm a lardass (5'8 237.4 lbs, down 13 pounds since May) doing 40 miles a week. been running again for a good few months after a rough december (suicide attempt lmfao)anyhow, progress looking good lads? be honest. ignore the shorts, it's the aftermath after being raped by a pack of feral city slickers
>>77416982Dynamic form stresses tendons and muscles more. Stompy form stresses skeleton, bones and joints more. Muscles go sore, joints dont (until one day you suddenly cant ever run again, because they are fucked). It is a trade-off - as with almost everything in life. Short term you may get less exhausted, long term you just have to find your form/mode for different distances.
>>77417443>fat cunt manlet calveslanklets perpetually jelly
>>77417443Solid calves. Congrats on the weight loss, too. However, you may want to switch shoes for something more comfy just eating the miles. I may be mistsken, but arent those Endorphin Speeds? I'd leave em for the faster pace occassions once you are down a bit more on the weight.Alternatives may include:Asics Novablast (similar width and drop, cheaper, fluffy foam, but not so long lasting especially at your current weight)Saucony Echelon (originally for heavier guys; super solid, spacious, comfy, tons of miles)Saucony Ride (same'ish fit as the endorphins, but no nylon plate, snappy enough, also good miles)
>>77417493thank you anon, though i admit i like running repeatedly up and downhill during my mandated wagie lunch break. i'd imagine dedicated trail runners have much higher ascent and descent numbers but i currently clock in around ~3900 ft ascent & ~3200 ft descent per week, tho manlet genes likely contribute too i suppose.>>77417507i've been testing out the chinkshit waters ever since a shitty pair of decathlon shoes shit the bed a year ago. i'm currently using li-ning red hare pro 8's and while the foam is dense, i'm a bit impressed by the upper. 500+ miles in and they're holding up, though the sole is gone at this point.thanks for the suggestions anon, i appreciate it.

increasing my mileage and seem to have an odd feeling above my ass on the left and right side. where the dimple things would be. no pain but maybe some instability? whats going on here?
>>77408014are you heavy? overweight bmi (even if it is caused by muscle mass rather than fat) could be contributing to it
>>77417745don't say that anon :(
>>77417853are you new to running?should fix itself eventually, running also trains and stabilizes the core, else it could be some hip flexors issue. try to use your hip more and make it swing more instead of staying centered, you know like these "walk runners"

I roon around town so much I'm pretty much a celebrity
>>77418254not super hot imo
>>77418293Yes it would be a good idea to cut calories and walk until you get down to a lower weight imo. Trying to run when overweight is a higher risk of injury.
>>77407864I don’t like to ask gear questions too often but have any NB fans here tried out the Ellipse? I’ve been running in the 1080v14 and this looks like they’ve repurposed the old Fresh Foam X foam.
>>77418877>I troon around town so much I'm pretty much a celebrity
>>77418293agreeing with >>77418989, just do incline treadmill or brisk walking until you get to normal bmi. if you can get a heart rate tracker on you it would help with keeping your exertion levels at a sustainable state. will help build fitness without the injury risk, it'll translate well into rooning when you get to a leaner body. just have to be patient with itin the meantime i would suggest doing tib raises, heel walks, and calf raises. these barely take any effort to do, should be <5 minutes every day. you can do heel walks at the end of your walks

>>77408014Yes, a few things that helped me.> Calf stretches Get one of those calf rocker things on Amazon. The deep stretch is heaven. > Tib bar Get one of those tib bars and do weighted lifts> ShoesGo to fleet feet and get good shoes and inserts. What type rubber are you? If you're a forefoot runner the stretched above will fix it.
To run is to exercise not just one’s body, but the mind, youth, and health themselves. Running is gatekept by physical fitness and one’s own youth. Old people cannot run. They have fucked knees and bones; they are literally incapable of it. When I run past a fatty or a boomer, I mog them. Inside their mind, I can hear, “Urgh, stupid runner,” or, “Ew, exercising in public,” and I smile. They only wish they could run 1/100 of what I run in a day, but they can’t. They are simply incapable. They less of a human than me.It’s easy to pick up a weight or walk on a treadmill. Anyone can do it. But running cannot be done by just anyone, and that is what makes it the purest form of human mogging. Running is visible proof that your body still works, that your knees, bones, lungs, heart, and mind can all endure what other people’s cannot.When I run, I feel free. I feel like I’m pushing my body and mind to their absolute limit. I cannot get this same expression of youth and health from weights or walking. Running is youth made physical. It is health made undeniable. Every run is proof that I can still do what age, weakness, and decay eventually take away from everyone.
i look like this
>>77420118Are you a guy and you look like this, if so that's hot, or are you a gal, and then who cares.
>>77420070this is me but i lift toowhenever i pass a fatty i feel better about myself
I only run and bodyweight exercises.
>>77420195Same. Feels good.
260 KM in July so far. I will make it to 300KM by end of the month.
What the fuck, my shoes are feeling dead after only 400km. This is the second pair of Gel Kayano 31s that this has happened to. The Gel Kayano 30 was so much better. I'm seriously tempted to just completely drop Ascis after this, and buy a pair of Tarkines or something.
>Are you going to come run with me, your dad, Anon? This is a great place to run. Or are you going to spend a god awful amount of time paying for a place to pick things up and put them down? All you need to be fit and strong is good ol' running and push-ups.
Fairly strong for my build.Fairly good swimmer.Fairly good cyclist.I can barely finish a 5k in 23 mins yet my brother who is shorter and fatter easily runs sub 20's running only once a week. Why am I so fucking slow?
>>77420618and here I thought I was mogging.
>>77420677if you can legitimately run 5k in 23 minutes then you clearly have some running experience and ability so it is probably down to effort
>>77420677Twenty three minutes is not really that bad for a normal person. I think it's the average for men in their 20's to 40's if remember correctly. Does he run more often? Law of specificity. You may have good cardio, but that cross over isn't specific. Crosstraining helps a lot with building a bigger aerobic engine (which helps with running), but specificity is a thing.
I don't even know what shin splints are. I've never had them in almost a decade of running. What are shin splinters doing wrong?
>>77420761My schizo theory is that shin splints are caused by overpronation, and can be fixed by either wearing stability shoes or strengthening your feet/calves/tibs.
why don't more people run?
>>77420973Maybe they don't want to be bullied. Some little kid just sarcastically yelled OH MY GAWWWWWD at my physique when I ran by
>>77420118mid wiv big breasts and slut vibes
>>77414194number 2
It's insane how expensive treadmills are. How do gyms have like 20 of em. Do they get bulk deals.
>>77420973I'm scaring the hoes with my tomato red running face, sorry
>>77420973people do try but then get wrecked on their first run and quit when in reality you don't see any meaningful gains until maybe a month or so into it
>4 am long runs in the dark with nothing but the street lights in the far distance great feeling, something out of a movie
guys..my gout's flaring upit's overgo on without me
>>77421203Pretty sure that's it. People decide to run, then they run full tilt like idiots, and after a kilometer (if even that much) everything hurts, they're incredibly out of breath, they feel like their heart's about to explode and quit. I guess some make it a week of running everyday like this and it just progressively gets even worse for them. Regardless, both quit.
>>77420973because you need at least a 12 inch hog to be able to run
>>77421184I imagine they get bulk deals, isn't everything bought in bulk given a deal
>>77421184Starting a medium sized gym must cost so much money. A big fat loan and hope you build your membership base quickly.
>>77421184I've recently seen some technician fix one. I guess they pay alot in the beginning for a reliable well built one and fix them if they break and share equipment between the gyms.when they're too old they sell em off to like eastern europe or third world countries. It pays off in the long run.
Marathon running is getting way too mainstream. Time to start doing ultras.
>>77421931Knowers are switching to middle distances as we speak. Anything 5000m+ (yes, meters is the new measurement instead of k/km) will be for slow ass npcs and considered shuffling. Mark my words
>>77421640They're also pretty simple machines. It's 2 rollers on a few easily replaced standard bearings and an electric motor. So long as they're adequately cooled while in use, there's not much to go wrong.
>>77420973Dunno, man, seems pretty popular to me.Better question is how come so many people are into this but so many of them seems to be pain free, or at least it feels like pain management is somehow isn't discussed enough.Or maybe I'm just old.
>>77422215Because most runners don't run as long as us, they only run 10, 20 minutes a couple times a week, or 30~60 on sunday.
I still cant run 5km under 20 minutes
>>77422405strava and garmin both think I can but nahone day
https://labs.strava.com/kodos/after like 1 year
>>77422478Congrats on being a bottom, Anon.
>>77414194>>77421118naw it's good imo anon.i'm a fat cunt >>77417443 and i'm slooooow
>>77421931Ultramarathons are filled with humongous gay faggots who only do it because actually running marathons is too hard. So either way you’re surrounded by normies
Ahhhh can't wake up anymore at 4 30 am like I used to
NEW PB LADS!22:45 5kmonly been at this two months. Gonna start mixing in more 10ks as I found the first one enjoyable at a moderate pace. At first I thought "hey maybe one day I'll run a marathon" but now I'm actually committed to working towards it seeing these returns. Can't be fucked to run like 4+ times a week though, just extending distance seems to work for me.Hope you lads have a good day and a good run
>>77423428Nice to see someone just be decent straight from the start. Sometimes it seems like all you see is people getting under 30 mins after like 2 years.If you don't want to spend all week running you could also focus on shorter distances than the marathon. I guess you should just see how it feels to increase distances and decide if you want to go for the marathon. The marathon isn't necessarily better than the half marathon or the 10k. Some even argue that doing a 5k all out is actually one of the hardest things.I don't think you need more than 4 runs in a week ever though. I think with 4 you can have much more high quality training than if you never have rest days.
>>77412589Cut out the sugar sodas or chips, sub out for sugar free if your caffeine addicted.Get rid of that now don't get into your late 30s like me it gets really hard for people to drop weight 30+ (no I'm not fat but I was).
>>77415911Fat ass (not my thing) but good form.
>>77423073My mate does ultras. He says half the field are former addicts that are now addicted to running. Normal marathon would not be enough to satisfy their addiction.
>>77412589You don't have to follow it exactly. Repeat the previous if it's too difficult. Repeat it twice if needed.
Hurt my hip lifting after running and walking a bit too much the past few days, fuck.
>>77423619>>77423073I typed some reply that basically amounted to ultra runners ( the 100+ mile in a desert type stuff especially) being a bunch of self harming mentally ill fags but deleted it.But I guess it is interesting that my drug addled brain after 14 hours in a techno club decides that it's probably time for my body to get some rest. While these people somehow seem to crave this sort of beat up feeling i guess? Like I guess you have to be a bit fucked in the head for those things.I won't say I can't relate at all lol but also I bet physically the club night is literally less unhealthy lmao. Like imagine what happens to even just your kidneys on a desert ultra.
