You're desperate aren't you?

Guys I'm going to let you in on a little secret.

I learned about this when I visited a chiropractor and we were discussing exercises that are damaging to the joints.

Apparently if you choose to run on grassy soft fields and avoid asphalt and hard surfaces it greatly reduces the damage and you get a lot more positives from it. You still want to avoid running downhill, but as long as you're not bothered by repetition, say if you run on a soft baseball field back and forth it's actually pretty nice.

I use to get stiff shoulders and neck problems if I went running for a long time on streets, when I tried just grassy fields there was no soreness.

I guess that's why soccer players can keep running like that and don't have a lot of knee problems (i'm guessing)

Cardio does not necessarily equal running. Being a strong runner and being well conditioned are disparate qualities.

>>41005627
The absolute farthest you should run. A mile is better. 8 minutes of harder work that you rest your heart and skeleton after is better than 25-30 minutes of mediocre work, limited mostly by pain in the flesh and bone because there's no rest. But I think there's still value, any more and it's be truly damaging.

Makes you think how pathetic we are; those cunts can run over 400 miles in 50 hours. Humans really are "born to run". Why do you think the Greeks sent a man on foot after the battle of marathon instead of a horse.

>>41009076
Maybe they didn't have horses left or they were exhausted? Maybe the terrain was unsuitable for horses? Anyway, a horse-human combo splitting the distance would be faster than a human alone

>>41009076

Yes it will. First off, if you're a /bigguy/, you'll be intimidating enough that nobody will WANT to mug you. It's never Arnie-looking motherfuckers who get taken into an alley. Secondly, if someone does want to press their luck, you'll have an easier time fighting them off if you so choose to. You've also got built in armor. There was one man shot several times by the police in NY I believe, and he kept running away from them because the cop's pussy bullets couldn't fully penetrate his muscles.

Running is great, but it's not an alternative to lifting. It's an addition.

Also he didn't qualify because he arrived 6 seconds shy of the 60 hour limit.

I haven't met a single athlete in their 50s other than cyclists that aren't dealing with at least one area of their body that requires surgery or has chronic pain.

But cycling is boring as fuck so I guess it might as well have the one upside of being the sport that doesn't tear your shit apart.

It's the culture around it.

no there have actually been studies that say that tour-de-france type cyclists and ultra-marathon runners have shorter life expectancy

obviously running a few miles a day isn't going to hurt you, but when you're running 20 miles a day and spending several hours training for years at a time, it takes a toll on your heart and the rest of your body.

>>41018033

>>it's bad for your knees

It is if you 1) have bad form that increases the impact 2) run on unnatural surfaces like asphalt and concrete and 3) run in shoes that don't absorb any of the impact not covered by 1 and 2.

>>the body is designed to run/walk efficiently

Just because we're efficient at it doesn't mean you don't burn a ton of calories doing it. Jet engines are efficient as fuck, they still burn a ton of energy.

>>41006730
Once asked a friend doctor about that. Said that there are some supplements containing colagen which are supposed to help but wont really do shit. Joints arent really vascular so you cannot feed them with protein like you do with muscles. Thats why once your joints are rekt there is no return.

>>41007531

Reading people on /fit/ talk about running is what I imagine it feels like for you guys with a lifting background listening to normies be impressed by someone doing 1 plate squats. I refuse to run with my gf because running 10 miles with her at 8:00 pace is literally so slow that it's painful for me.

>>41007721

I would argue any race that takes long enough that you're depleting your glycogen stores and have to bring calories with you is stupid. Basically anything beyond a half marathon is dumb imo.

>>41008808
>The body is designed to run/walk efficiently
>So it is actually the worst way to do cardio/ burn calories
So would you suggest doing cardio through the most inefficient means possible? It doesn't work like that. Running / walking is good and safe way to do cardio precisely because we're efficient at it

>>41023069
I'm ready to accept the marathon as a proper endurance event, because you could finish it without bringing calories with you. Sure you'll deplete your glycogen stores and experience an epic bonk and run the last 10k or so on fat, but you could do it. A 100mile ultra on the other hand would be impossible to finish without ingesting carbs on the way

>>41023239
What a strange place to draw a line...

I did something similar...in runs up to 3 hours, I don't ever bring water, or drink along the way. I had my reasons.

I'm interested in yours, though.

>>41023317
Well, the actual distance is quite arbitrary. The marathon distance wasn't standardized until the 20's, although it was been raced in the Olympics since 1896. I don't think there's any specific reason to be exactly 42.195km, I just happens to be that. Maybe the early marathon runners considered the bonk after the 30km mark a challenge, I don't know. I guess the Olympic heritage is important and that's why I consider it a proper endurance event.

I haven't run a marathon myself, only a few half marathons and 10k's, and I don't have any plans of trying. None of my training runs have exceeded 25km either.

>>41023239

Sure. But you're talking about just finishing a marathon, not doing it well. You cannot run a good marathon without taking in some calories along the way. Even the pros do it. You can definitely run a good HM without taking anything en route. There's nothing special about finishing a marathon. Doing it well is what matters.

i dont run marathons but im sure its exremely healthy. When humans were hunters and gatherers they ran for hundreds of KMers in one go. And thats what the human body was made for

>>41023496
Lots of marathoners use 'gels' and other calorie sources.

Isn't that where you were drawing the line?

>>41023803
I'm just saying I consider the marathon a proper endurance event because of all the Olympic heritage, that's all. I don't think runners in the early 1900's consumed any gels or even any carbs at all, and I don't actually care if they do that today, it's the longest running event in the Olympics and that's enough for me

What do you mean no reason? That was the distance between Marathon and Athens

>>41024396
Yeah, it commemorates the legend of the courier's run from Marathon to Athens (~40km) and that gives the ballpark for the distance. But why exactly 42.195km, that does seems purely arbitrary, but the rough ballpark of a 40km distance originates from Pheidippides' run

k faggots I'll tell you why

Before 1908 marathons ranged from 40 to 42.75. Nobody gave a shit.

Ok so it's the current year of our lord 1908. Summer Olympiads happen, and it's in fucking England. Now organizer said fuck it, will make the marathon about 40km as usual.

But here come the fucking British officials and said, you know what, let's make the marathon start at Windsor Castle and finish at the fucking Royal Box in the Olympic Stadium so the fucking king and the fucking queen have a good view on who wins.

The course measured 26 miles and 385 yards, or 42.195km.

Now the official distance was set by the IAAF in 1921, but the 1908 marathon was kinda dramatic. No one knows why exactly they chose that distance but this is the word around block

Was not expecting anyone on here to know the story. Famously, when told it was time to go to where the finish of the race was going to be, the queen said "the queen does not go to the finish, the finish goes to the queen." And so it did. Apocryphal, I'm sure, but funny nonetheless.

Nurmi, great runner for his time, still kind of a mystery but if it works it works, might not work for other guy

My GOAT is Zatopek though, guy was insane, has the longest wining streak in races over 3000m with 75 consecutive wins. His training was mind blowing, 40x400, stuff that no one in their right mind will do today, and he trained in army boots.

There is a story that he ran 60x400 at 80 seconds with 200 at 45ish for 10 days.

Zatopeks workouts would still destroy anyone trying to replicate him to this very day, but damn did he get results.

The sad thing is that he spoke out against the Communist Czech government after his running career, and pretty much was forced to work as a janitor until he was an old man.

Literally no one knew this dude taking out their trash was one of the greatest Olympians to ever live.

>>41026352
>I don't get the point of it
If anyone wins, the race organizers failed.
This isn't a race in the traditional sense, to see who wins, this run is to see where you fail.
It takes a long time to make these humans fail, but it is the failure which deserves 'celebrating' (like blowing taps while you walk away)

The vast majority of Barklay runners know they are 'never gonna make it'.
