I wear compression shorts. Feels nice not having sweat run down my legs.

Nope, I wear cheapo Starter/Walmart brand shorts in the warmer temps, track pants in the colder day. Even after 10 years, they are still working good with no rips or anything.

I'm fine. How is this connected to sweat dripping?

Can you guys help me? I wanted to do this half marathon so badly and I was following a training guide for it until yesterday when I was diagnosed with stress fractures in my ankle. It had been bothering me awhile, but I continued to run because it wasn't unbearable and I figured I just needed to power through. I was wrong and now I'm hurt. How do I not want to kill myself/not lose all my running gains? Thanks

>>38640672
Crosstraining with elliptical and waterjogging.

>>38640672
>>38640683
Water jogging is your best bet. It may seem goofy but a lot of elite runners use it for a lot of their training.

>>38640683
Thanks, I'll look into water jogging for sure.

>>38640716
Cool, I'll start doing some research. Thank you

What's a good time for 1 mile I used to run 5k before my workout but feel like I shouldn't tire myself out too much before the workout

Physio told me I have ITB friction. Besides RICE and a few stretches, anything I can do to maintain my cardio gains? Trying to hit a certain level on the beep test for a job. Will rowing fuck up my ITB?

Pls post, marathon training girl.

>>38637206
Always give up on running two weeks into it. Stopped for three months this time.
Actually going to stick with it for military reasons in December. Probably can heave my way to five minutes straight before wanting to die.

Whats the best way to increase running ability? Intervals? Ideally I want to be at two miles in 12 minutes but I'll accept 1.5miles in 12 too.

compression pants are more or less needed here due to coldness
I use them from late September to late March here (Finland)
because at some point it becomes too cold to run just in shorts, and eventually it becomes warm enough to run in shorts. in between I need more layers of clothing due to extensive heat/energy loss otherwise. (aka my balls freeze)

There isn't any hate in these threads except for trolls. Good job on your run.

Thinking of copping some compression pants myself what brands would u guys rec. something cheap
Just recovered from a nagging knee injury that started from having flat feet. had to spend $300 on custom soles and had to drop muh nike free's for ASICS

Would it also be a good idea just to start running on soccer fields into I get my form back?
Miss that runners high so much :(

>>38640890
What app is that? Also, have you tried tracing your route on google maps to get an accurate meassure of the distance you are running? It just happened to me that I was sure I was doing 5k runs until I meassured the circuit at the park where I go to, and it turns out that I've been running 4,7-8 ish the whole time. It will depend on sat signal

I did "intervals" for the first time. Nothing too structured though, something like 2km warmup, 1km as fast as I could, 400m recovery, 600m sprint, 1km recovery, then repeat.

Running fast is a nice feeling

>>38637206
I wear compression pants around my apartment like yoga pants but not in public

>>38641883
Suunto Ambit R2, with GPS tracking set to 1 second intervals. Yeah, I have map, but not interested in sharing everything on /fit/.
the watch uploads the data to Movescount, where I can see that image. The watch interface can reveal same, but obviously checking your run is easier from a larger screen.
sometimes the gps gives odd altitudes, but 1m is still 1m when moving forward. (but sometimes it might measure me running on top of tunnel instead in the tunnel, due to signal bouncing maybe from the top)

>>38637206

Which shoes do you run in?

I might get some compression pants after this thread, I've been running intervals every other day for a couple of weeks now, but I want to step it up to at least a mile a day. I've been running in some nonslip memory foam shoes, although they are heavy and meant for work, not running. Am I alright running with those? It'd been okay so far

>>38642875

Get proper shoes first, they are the most important piece of kit for running

I've started to run 6+ miles recently and just got a water bottle (I've been having to stop and drink from fountains before), should I only fill it water or is it advisable to fill it with other stuff?

You need a pair of Hoka

cotton shorts and a reebok training t-shirt, which is thin cotton.

Honestly unless you're running ha,f-marathon distances or you have some serious issue with your skin or something, I really don't see the need to spend money on anything fancy, you're just gonna sweat it in several times a week, and within 2 months you'll have washed it so much it'll be unwearable anyway, the only type of clothing you should be investing seriously in is shoes and possibly socks.

>>38640793
Do it for more than 2 weeks

>>38637206
I actually wear compression pants in the winter. Very easy to slip on under jeans/suit and I never get cold.

I would highly recommend them, but I've never used them for running. However I probably would run with them in the winter.

should I run in the rain?? or will I get sick??

I wanna do my weekend 5k on Saturday morning but it's gonna rain.... what do

>>38643754
try proper running shirts made of polyester.
I simply cannot downgrade back to cotton... proper running shirt is smooth, dries easily, doesn't soak as much sweat, is lighter and doesn't chafe. (yeah, I do run 10-20kms distance with maybe annual marathon also)

and boxers... cotton underwear doesn't last as well, nor does it minimize chafing.

Sure, if you run 1-2 times per week and below 10km distances, you might not need better gear, but anything above that and I suggest investing in proper running gear.

it is still one of the cheapest hobbies and excellent way to stay fit.
good shoes last 1-2 years and good shirts/underwear should also last 5-10 years. buy 2-3 shirts and a pair of boxers and you are good for a decade.
socks meanwhile wear out faster.

>>38643953

Yeah I run 3 times a week totalling about 9-ish miles overall, so I don't need proper running gear, funnily enough I bought 15 pairs lf reebok training socks and they are awesome, not a single bit of wear and tear in several months, I wear the same ones during the day now just because of how good they are.

>>38643352
I'm a red wings guy personally an 875 is really nice because its still a good 6 in of leather but it has a rubber sole ao its durable and comfy (tho i love my iron rangers to but thats an extremely hard sole so you might not like it for running)
Thurgoods is has a knock off of those and i heard they were decent. Whats nice about the higher up ones os theu support your ankles and your less likely to roll them which is what happened to 3 sods in my cross country team when i was in high school

>>38643504
Nike Vomero - way too soft for my weight.
Some red brooks whose Name I don't recall, however they were not ideal either.

Those are Saucony Echelon 5.

>>38643727
Haven't tried them. I have really really shit feet though.

>>38643869
pls respond

>>38643869
>>38644087

rain is fine, just dress properly
if you get cold, run faster.

and then instantly after finishing change into dry clothes or jump into shower.
as long as your body is pumping out heat, the rain itself is not an issue.
stopping in rain might be an issue however.

cold rain can be REALLY motivating when you want to run fast (and finish ASAP)

3 minutes.

I used to be able to go out and run 10 miles easy

But now I have to stop for breath after running for like 3 minutes

Remember to be consistent kids

I run a lot, like long distance, but best pace I can keep up for many minutes is 4min/km.
I somehow have trouble converting it to miles. Guess I could try a faster pace if I just run a mile, but dunno.

all the people here claiming those high mile times look a bit odd tbqh

Tell me about your recent achievements /run/

I ran 5 miles in 40 minutes yesterday, it was the first time I kept up a consistent 8:00/mile pace over a long distance and it was surprisingly easy to do. Usually I start off at about a 7:30/mile pace and drop to 9:00/mile by the end. A lot of it is in your head, convince yourself that you can't run for a certain distance or at a certain pace and you'll never be able to do it.

>>38645777
4 mins 20 second/km is 7min/mile, so you're doing pretty well

>>38645870
Pretty well?! I can't even run a mile in 10... like, what the fuck is this bullshit. SURE I just started running like, a month or two ago and progress needs to be taken a bit slow to avoid injuries but seriously?!

I can run semi-long distances at a decent speed so I thought I was pretty fit until I did some circuits today. Basically you'd sprint the width of a football field and back, do 15 reps of sit ups or press ups or whatever and then do it again until you've done it 9 times. After 3 I was struggling and only managed 6 in all, and then 5 on the second go after a short jog. How long until I can do this shit without feeling like I'm going to throw up? I warmed up beforehand and everything and it was a bit depressing realising how I'm nowhere near as fit as I thought I was

Hi /fit/! I started running last week and I felt some stings on my shin. I researched and it's most likely a shin splint. What should I do?

>>38648335
Glute bridges and squats helped me

>>38648335
Run at a slower pace and stretching

>>38648335
There isn't much you can do but to push through it. You will eventually get use to it and it will start fading away.

When I first started running I suffered from horrible shin splints because I have large calf muscles. All I can do is ice after ever run.

>wake up, toilet, go for run. slow and run out of breath easy.

>sit in a movie. drink a huge soda. run at a full sprint across huge parking lot. Feel light as a feather. didn't even get winded.

What the fuck gives?

and how can I tap int that post movie energy ?

How does /run/ deal with knee tendonitis?

>>38647847
C25k is a good program. Going to a store for the shoe test is not a meme, but if you don't have any sort of "condition", just get any pair of shoes and see how it goes for you.

>>38648156

>>38645802
I ran for 25 minutes straight today, a new personal best. Only covered 2.4 miles though so I'm not at the normal 10 minute pace yet.

It's pretty awesome though. Just about 3 weeks ago I was barely running 15 minutes straight at most, and kind of stalled with that for about a month. I decided to just keep going and hit 20 minutes on my first try.

>>38638728

>>38649314
I actually decided to start running while going through arguably the most stressful time of my life. It is an escape in some sorts. And a form of validation. Trying to add more meaning in my life by getting into running.

>>38640758
Don't RICE. Ice and elevation delay the healing process so unless you have excessive swelling which you shouldn't, skip ice. Massage what you can handle, rest and compression if possible

>>38649340
Literally me. The fucking feels don't go away but at least I get to do something positive and I enjoy it

>>38645048
I usually only feel it after an intense workout or unless I bust out a six min mile to end my run. Regular runs don't do it for me

>>38645802
Ran 3km in just under 15min a few days ago, which is minutes faster than last time i timed it. But I also found out that day that my shin splints aren't gone yet, so im back to resting.

>>38648586
If you havent eaten anything before you run then you're not gonna have much energy for it. And when you think about it, having around 400g worth of food/soda inside you seems pretty insignificant compared to your regular bodyweight and wont burden your running ability all that much. You can be a decent runner and still be 10 pounds overweight.

does running burn enough calories to lose weight

>>38649505
The general rule is 100kcal per mile, no matter what your pace is

>>38649505
Fucking hell. Have you heard of the fucking /fit/ sticky?

>>38648586
I just measured the nearest huge parking lot to me (a walmart) and it was only 200m long. 200m repeats are a pretty typical workout, you do a bunch of them with maybe two or three minutes rest in between.

In other words, the parking lot wasn't actually long enough for you to get tired.

>>38648887

one month of running...and then jumping halfmarathon?
oh boy....

just stretch a bit, sleep well, relax, eat high calorie food like wholegrain pasta, do not eat anything new but keep eating stuff your belly is familiar with.
eat 2-3 bananas 3-4 hours before the run starts, maybe take a running gel before you start, and if needed take on every 5-10kms.

Everyone around here who runs shirtless tends to be absolute douches that everyone hates and makes fun of.

I run in some cheap shorts and band tshirts pic related

Wish my chest wasnt looking like shit so i could run bare chested

I run in moisture wicking 100% polyester shirt that so far seems no different than the old cotton shirts I used to use. Maybe it's because I run in the mornings when the sun's not out, because I'm not noticing any increase in sweat evaporation. Oh and it fucking stinks after one use.

I've started running yesterday and I felt like it was harder on my legs than squatting.

>>38652413
I don't know why you people always assume you must be showing off if you run shirtless.

I do personally live in quite a cold area though, so it would be more reasonable if I saw you running topless in spain or greece or someplace; I'd think nothing of it really.

I thought you were meant to change your shoes every 500(?) miles or so?

>>38654444

It's just easier for comparisons.

The difference between a 6mph and 7mph run doesn't sound like a lot but running for instance a 7 minute mile compared to a 8 minute mile instantly shows a measure of time (1 whole minute) which translates better for comparison.

>>38655394
well yeah
I might run between 800-1500km a year, and I usually burn out shoes (even when rotating several pairs) after 12-24 months of dedicated use
shoes will wear out eventually after 600-800kms of use

I already ran my daily 5mile this morning and now Im bored and want to do it again.

Same here famalam. Pretty much the only thing that got me through divorce. Now that's over with and it's just a great hobby.

Under 10 minute mile finally. Not a great time I know but I'm proud of myself. Doing a Spartan Sprint this fall, should be fun.

>>38640672
similar thing happened to me.
Except i was hoping for a full marathon. made it to 15 miles non-stop, goal was for 20 before marathon. Got stress fracture 7 weeks before marathon. Doctor said to not even attempt a half-marathon, and do physical therapy

>>38640672
also biking

Im trying to break my pr for 5k everytime i go for run (every other day)
Sitting on 23min atm, seeing small improvements and my body def getting leaner with high protein low carbs fats diet i made up on my own. feelin good and eating diverse so i dont end up dying accidently

I want to hit the gyms next week for the first time, should i continue running on off gym days, just try and eat slightly more?
Or dont change anything for now and wait for results.
Or better yet should i forgo 5ks and just start doing HIIT

>>38656126
It wont. But you should ease into it, not make it a sudden change.

It depends on what your goals are.

Regardless of goals though, it's a bad idea to try to pr everytime you run. you'll quickly reach a plateau and might even risk injury.

Is that possible.

If you dont wear compression shorts at least, theres a chance of your balls getting twisted inside the sack. Its shit tier.

Been running off and on for years but started training about 4 months back. Just ran a 14km in an hour flat but I'm starting to wonder if it wouldn't be better to integrate some lifting into the routine. Hard to pull qts at 6'1 145lb. Thoughts on performance vs aesthetics?

>>38659793
probably bro science but I did hear it somewhere. Something about your body being too stressed and releasing cortisol, which has an effect of getting your belly fatter.

What he said was you'll still be losing fat, but just in different places. Your belly will keep fat but other parts will lose. So I suppose you'll still be dropping body fat if you decide to go crazy with your runs.

>>38661020
2xu is gay and shit. They're expensive af, but it's a good cop if you got em for 50 each. Just make sure they're actually fucking tight and do their actual job - compression.

Nobody ever said compression was meant to be comfortable. It isn't. I don't like it. But it does the job well and for me I can tell it prevents injury. Just don't get used to it and run with it every run, just use it for harder runs and wear at after you shower for a couple hours for quicker recovery.

What is true compression and should I bother with trying to get true compression or just stick with cheaper compression gear. I see a pair of compression legs for like $20

>>38661046
Unfortunately I'm not running for anything other than being able to join the military. It's not enjoyable to me.

>>38661034
I just... DID.

>>38661056
I stopped listening to music, so maybe it'll get me on track to distract me enough to just keep going.

>>38661257
I don't run out of enjoyment either. I run to be able to run further and to see how far I can go without stopping. Though maybe that feeling after breaking a personal best can be considered enjoyment.

I've just started running. My times are shit because I hate cardio but I am participating in a 5k race next month with a friend who just recovered from an Osteoma surgery.
If he can run after that surgery, asthma surely wont stop me from running with him.

>>38661160
alright thanks buddy

>>38661344
The fact I ran for 6 minutes straight made me feel good, so I get it. But the actual running is.. boring isn't quite the word.

So I've been trying to run for fucking ever, I do sprints and all the over bullshit but I can't even break 1430 in two miles, my average is like 1530 this is at my peak. Recently I started running and started tensing up my quads and I find it that I take shorters strides and more steps but It works better I am less exhausted when I run and just overall faster. My quads are killing me now but it did work.

Am I running like a retard or is this actually viable? I was reading online that relaxing all your muscles is better but I just end up running like a retard aftewards. What does /fit/ think?

>>38662502
Man the fuck up

You think joining military will be candy and ponies and passin one shitty test is all it takes
You will be forced to run for fuckton, you will be forced to walk for fuckton with heavy gear

>>38662944
Why are you mentioning a 3km run and a marathon in the same post? No one can answer that question bc 3km at any speed gives zero indication of your marathon potential.

>>38662502
If you're pleased with the fact you ran for 6 whole minutes straight then you have no right to comment on running as a sport/hobby. You're lower than the guy who air bench presses at the gym because the bar is too heavy.

>>38637206
is it fine to run every day

>>38665055
Not when you are starting out. It's something you show build yourself into.

>>38662502
I'm applying to join the army too, bad my interview this week, going to do the physical soon™. running for six minutes really isn't enough, the entry alone is 10:30 for 1.5 miles. you really need to improve on that asap.

otherwise you'll have to really up your expectations of what you getting in for, I mean the other anon was a bit melodramatic about it, but you should expect there's a lot more than just 6 minutes running involved, and if you get 'bored' at that I really would question your ability.

uhh, I started by jogging 3-5km distances maybe at 6kmh to 7kmh speeds
3 years later and few thousand kilometres later I then managed a marathon.

your question makes me think of a firstgrader who learns to write asking someone how soon they can get their Masters degree...

multiply that 3km by 14 and keep up a solid 6kmh pace and you will have a pretty good marathon time.

Going for a run in a bit. Should I static stretch before hand?

Pls? I would like to know.

I seriously wonder how you guys manage to keep a decent running schedule while still working out. I usually go to the gym 4x a week and I just cant motivate myself to run atm.

I am either still sore from working out in one muscle group or another or I have to do DL/Squats the next day anyway so I am kinda afraid running would make my workouts worse.

So how do you guys manage to do it ? The problem might be that I always want to push myself while running, just going for a light jog isnt really my thing...

>>38659031

Getting into running because it's required for a good grade in PE.

It's his first. Stop hating. Assuming he isn't bullshitting that's not bad at all for a person who hasn't been running for long and has come nowhere close to that distance before. My first was 1:39 but I ran up to 8 miles at most prior.

>>38648887
I always run with a shirt because I sweat a lot and the shirt helps wick it off. Also where I live I could only run shirtless for like 3 months comfortably anyway

what kind of underpants do you guys wear?

I these tight ones with legs, but they keep rolling up slowly on longer distances (10-20km).

For example, how are briefs to run in?

>>38653290

I appreciate the constructive criticism, but I know that I have to run a lot more than 6 minutes. Like... a lot more. Qualifying time in the navy is roughly a 15 minute 1.5 mile. I'm not even at half of that yet. But I'm getting there. I'm determined at least.

I'm lucky enough that I only work 3 or 4 days a week, and when I do work the shifts are only 6 hours, so I tip my fedora to anyone who manages to run AND lift while working a full time job.

But the way I do it is I lift on days when I'm working, and run on my days off, with a long run on Sunday and a rest day Saturday. I did have to cut my gym sessions down to 3 days a week though, rather than the 5 it was before I took running seriously.

>>38667897
I'm seconding this recommendation. I watched the same video and followed that guy's advice when i was about to finish c25k and it helped me to breath properly and also to keep a consistent pace.

>>38667707
I don't want to sound all /fit/ estatting and whatever, but I was beating 15 minutes the first time I tried, and by really quite a bit too. I think the average person here would too, probably even you. I imagine you probably pulled up because it was starting to hurt, or was getting hard, but really you do have to push through that to improve. I fucking hate it, and still do, but really every time you attempt that 1.5 miles you should feel like absolute death by the end. every time I go for a pr run I can't speak for a good few minutes afterwards, and often can't even stand up properly. you've just got to get used to it, it does get better, but never gets comfortable.

>>38667707
Brah, early this year I decided to start running, not having ran since high school 6 years ago. I went on google maps and found a route that was one mile long and went out to run. The first attempt I got half way before I stopped and walked it, the second try about three quarters, then after a few more goes I went 1.5 miles, then 2.2 miles, then 3 miles, then 4 miles, then 5, and today for the first time I ran for longer than an hour and went just over 8 miles.

It gets easier, it really does, but you need the right mental attitude, you convince yourself you can't run a certain distance and excuses keep appearing in your head as to why you're not up to it or deserve a break. When you feel like stopping, tell yourself that you're going to go just that little bit further, to that bush you see in the distance, or the next street sign, or the next lamp post, and then do it again until you've reached your goal.

It takes time and persistence but there's no reason you can't get there. My times and distances aren't breaking any records, but if you'd told me I could run 8 miles in one go a year ago I would have laughed.

>>38670050
Sheeet, I could walk 5k in 45 minutes.

>>38670050

What do you fuckers wear when running in cold weather or rain?

>>38670877
cold weather, wind suit with shirt and underwear beneath
and if even colder, add compression tights and marino wool shirt, wear light sport gloves and skiing-hat? (not sure how to translate)

curiously enough the feet have socks and shoes, whether it is +25 C or -15 C, the rest of the body however can vary between shirtless to having 3 layers of shirts.

for 5-10 C weather I enjoy having long sleeve shirt, another shirt on top, then tights and shorts on tights. looks odd maybe, but double layer is needed for me when it goes below 10.
triple layer starts around +4 C and below

Thinking about doing a half marathon in just over a months time
I can run a 10k in about 40 minutes and I have time to train almost every day until the race

Do you guys think it would be possible for me to run the half marathon in a decent time with such a short amount of time to train for it?

If you've never seriously ran in your life before prepare for cramps up the ass followed by aches and soreness. It all gets better with time though.

So guys, I recently started getting back into running and am at 3.5 mi with one or two walking breaks because intersections and I'm a weak bitch. Do you guys try to run in the morning before you eat or wait a while after you eat, or is it just personal preference?

>>38672305
I usually run in the morning after about an hour I ate breakfast. However, during one day during the week, I usually have to run in the evening or get up at 5am to fix breakfast, wait 30 minutes, then run.

>>38672305
I run before I eat, because I run early (20 mins after waking) and I don't run well with much food in my stomach. On a race day when I'm running later I'll have a small breakfast when I wake up.

Why can't I run without my ankles, knees, and hips hurting for days after I run as little as half a mile.

Is running in the morning supposed to drain me for the rest of the day?

I feel like any kind of running is high intensity for me. My resting heart rate is kinda high at 75+ bpm, and that's a full hour after exercise.

>>38673236
If you've had a job where you walk on hard surfaces a lot without expensive supporting shoes/boots you can have completely fucked up knees and such which running will make you heavily aware of.

Or you could be very overweight which would have already strained your knees and the added force of running would hurt it further.

You could also just be running with improper form like landing heel-first.

not everyone is a neet that can take off their life to just lay in bed because they're too retarded to buy proper shoes.

>>38676172
Not him but I run 4 marathons a year. I'm nigerian btw and I train with something that looks like this >>38642699

Anyway, I get paid to spread the barefoot meme and now my village has a vibram sponsored water well runned by a vibram donkey so I can honestly say that they do the job.

I don't want to sound, as you say, authoritative, but as a nigerian marathoner I think I have something resembling a final word. Pls don't quote me but hookas or die trying. I hope to see you biting me and my wife's son dust on the next marathon that pays over 10k.

This. Running becomes so much fun when you keep at it consistently. It's getting to that fun point that takes a couple months of real persistence, though.

fucking slackjawed foreigners

also, nice time, anon

But this is satire, and Niggeria fits the bill well.

Nice dubs-trips. Shame to see them wasted like that.

Does anyone have any races coming up?

I'm debating running a 5K for shits and giggles this fall.

Breh where the fuck are her legs

Did the artist get lazy?

>>38681079
You need to try harder than that anon...

I'm a beginner is it okay for me to run at 102kg or should I wait until im atleast sub 90? I dont want to damage my joints and knees.

>>38681606
You should definitely wait.
Swimming or biking will be safer options.

>>38638728
This. Run free

>>38639869
either that or incredibly high level races

What do I do if I'm drenched in sweat after my run and it's cold out? I've legitimately considered bringing a second shirt to change in because I typically walk for 20 minutes after a run. Scared of catching cold...

Try to reevaluate your form. Personally relaxing my body when I run fixed a bunch of those problems for me

>>38683385
the common rule over here is that run in clothes that would be suitable for n+10 C outdoor activities
say you hang out in shorts and tshirt when it is +25. that means you can run in shorts and tshirt when it is +15 without getting cold.
you wear a windsuit when it is +15. that means you can run in windsuit when it is +5.
you have few layers of clothing when outside at +5 weather. dress in several layers of clothing when running in -5 C weather.

and so on. use your brains and experiment, different bodies have different needs.

>>38683385
I feel absolutely boiling after any run, t-shirt and joggers / shorts do me fine all year round desu

Just got a motorless treadmill from a charity shop for £10.
How do I run on it without falling off or holding on to the handles for dear life?
It's angle is not adjustable, I've been using books to prop it up but still having trouble.

I sweat when it's cold and when it's hot. It's as if my body doesn't discriminate.

I was more curious if there are thicker materials that absorb the sweat. Like the inside is dryer than the outside. I've got a running shirt that says it does that but maybe I just sweat too much

should i run if i'm sick

>>38685805
I run if I have a cold or whatever. Feels great afterwards.

>>38681606
fuck that, get outside and start walking/jogging.

you'll build up strength.

>>38685805
No you shouldn't. You need to eat light and rest so your body can focus on healing.

Make a commitment to run with someone else.

Anyone have any GOOD websites for running form?

>>38639918
^ effort = ^ sweating
There's a little correlation
