New to posting on /fit/, so apologies if I post a taboo thread.
Currently preparing for the British army basic training course, and I keep having issues with my mile and a half runs.
My best time so far is 7 seconds past 11 minutes on a flat surface. This was the time I received during army selection when I did the mile and a half run.
I'm currently training on a hilly and windy mile and a half route I'm doing for my training, the best time I get is 11 minutes 54 seconds. However, the biggest problem is keeping a constant time everytime I go for the run.
It can be anything from 11 minutes 54, to 12 minutes 28 seconds, and I'm having HUGE issues when it comes to eating properly before the run.
cereal, I can't keep down, beans on toast? can't keep it down. Only thing I can keep down is a basic chicken sandwich. If I don't eat anything, then I don't have enough energy and my run time suffers (12mins 28 after throwing up the beans on toast).
Currently, I'm balancing my strides between long strides (fasters but runs out of breath) and short jogging strides (allows me to get my breath back but the calve muscles play up) to put an equal strain on my breathing and my calves.
tldr: what should I eat before a run to stop throwing up, what's the best way to maintain a steady speed (long strides, short strides?) and any methods I can use during the run to stop the throwing up occurring?
In short:
Don't eat 2 hours before running and stick to lighter meals before doing best effort runs.
To improve your times (Not gonna lie, 11 minutes is slow if you're anywhere near the ADSC)
I really suggest just not eating heavily before you run and leave it at least 2 hours.
Also, do a LOT of HIT, get those run times down. ANything less than 10:30 on the 1.5 miles means you fail the basic fitness test and have to go back and redo it until you do it.

Lower the distance.
Cerealabs milk is shit food pre workout. Please.
Stop eating heavy protein beans and toast.
Sip more water. Dont drink large amounts one to two hours before running.
If you are pushing yourself to the point you need to throw up you are being counter productive and harsher on your own system.
Try a heel toe strike rather than a hop jog. Hiit will improve times. Then go for distance. Dont overtrain. Takkng a day off can be more beneficial than pushing through 3 days in a row.

Running fag here try working up to doing 3mile runs that way your mile n half run is more relaxed and you improve run times also like >>39304566

Do sprints and HIIT calisthenics style watch your numbers improve dont skip leg day do all the body weight squats you can
>got a gf

>>39304135
>Start talking to this girl
>Shes a literal 10
>I think to myself "Theres no fucking way she actually likes me, so I'll just be my usual misanthropic self and get rid of her"
>This just attracts her more
>Whenever we walk somewhere together, she always skips around me giggling and throwing things at me or poking me, and I just put on my usual scowl because I really never learned to smile very well.
>Finally, offer to do something with her sometime as an open statement, and she says yes enthusiastically and is pretty damn happy for the rest of the day.
>Not sure if were actually dating, dont even have her number, assume Ill get it next time I see her.
>As it turns out, shes a model and flies across the country to do photoshoots on weekends
>Still wondering why the fuck she talks to me
Is this some kind of fraud thing or something? Is somebody after my kidney?

How do I into civilization 4 spearman mode?
>>39303989
>not going for Civ 6 Gilgamesh mode
that spearman might have some functional strength but did you see Gil's fucking pecs?
Did he just fuck up a panther with a spear? Mirin
>>39304037
I see you're a man of refined taste as well.
If I go full starvation, do I lose muscle mass first or both body fat and muscle mass?
Please note, I don't give a fuck about health, proper eating that requires 5+ years to see results, bouncing back, any other bullshit you care to act high and mighty about but really never experienced.
>>39303886
How often do you lift
>>39303912
4-5 times I week.
I'm bulking, but I just look fatter.
>>39303886
Full starvation = lose all muscle first.
There are other methods
Anyone here try a milk fast? Basically GOMAD but without any other food/drinks. Thoughts/experiences?
>>39303811
If you legitimately think this is a good idea, then yes you should do it.
Do it bro, gets you sick gainz like none other
enjoy the fecal impaction
>>39303797
Yep, like the plague.
Photos like yours keep me honest on my cut. Thanks.
If I woke up that way tomorrow I would probably kill myself. I think I would rather cut my dick off than look like you.
What the hell is wrong with you? Did you get raped and now you're eating away the pain or something?
>tfw I'd rather be fat than skinny
>tfw don't eat enough
>tfw I lift to increase appetite
Who addicted to caffiene here?
I had a cup of coffe 2 hours ago and I already need another and then a can of Monster Energy Ultraâ„¢
>>39303738
I don't feel anything from caffeine anymore
>>39303738
You're really tired and unmotivated without it right? Fucking stop
>>39303748
Take a handful of caffiene pills I guarentee that's not true.
Alternatively have none for 2 days and your receptors will stop being so burnt out.
>>39303750
>really tired
No
>unmotivated
I literally have the morning free to fap and shitpost. If you think I need motivation for that then all I can say is you must be a vigorous fapper.

Will nofap keep me hard?
The opposite. It will be a struggle to not have a boner if you have any kind of libido to begin with.
>>39303659
Thanks. Guess I'm a couple weeks away from constant raging boners.
Nofap is a retarded meme.
You'll go from getting aroused casually to whatever you get aroused to right now, to instantly popping rock hard boners like if you were on viagra constantly just from looking at a girl's cleavage on the street.
Of course this is assuming that you have somewhat of an active libido already. If you're already some guy that rarely faps if ever, I don't even know why you're thinking about nofap.

Hey /fit/,
this thread is coming fairly last minute, so it's kinda urgent:
Which kind of pants would you wear for sprinting AND running on an indoor track?
I will have to run a cooper test tomorrow (shouldnt be too hard) and do some 100m sprinting a few minutes after.
Even though I'm comfortable with my shirt and shoes, I'm still not sure that long running tights are the best choice.
Would appreciate any helpful answers you can give, thanks in advance!
>>39303591
Spandex shorts
>>39303624
Thanks.
Basically, I'm looking for the least restrictive type of running pants.
I have a pair of short cotton running pants, but they tend to flap around and I'm not sure they'd be the best choice.
Ideally corduroy
I'm 180cm tall and weigh 54kg.
Is it normal that i look childish as fuck depite being 21?
>>39303576
