Convince me that long distance running as the only form of exercise

I don't even know why white people do this sport lol they'll never compete.

don't @ me

enjoy your shitty joints, swimming is and always will be the GOAT due to its low impact and the fact that is works the whole body. there's no risk of drowning if you aren't a retard

If you do chin ups you'll be able to run faster. I said chin ups not bulking.

If you're actually doing long distance you'll have to eat while you run, which at that point is pretty fucking stupid. If you're moving so long and burning so much that your body requires food or you will pass out you're doing it wrong. Not to mention the long term damage it does to your tendons. 5-10 miles regularly is fine but anymore is only for competition or necessity.

That's not true. In cross country we raced 5 miles. You don't eat at that distance.

>eating while you 10k
once in a while maybe, senpai

You dont exhaust your short term energy reserves of carbs until around mile 20, hence the wall of a marathon where youre body starts burning fat instead.

But correct 5-10 miles plenty for the average person, dont fucking eat on it though you retard.

Why dont you eat in the middle of your 1 hour lift also

Your joints are going to be shittier from not doing any exercise at all, retard.

U wot m8, half marathons at the minimum is long distance, and some would say only full marathons and above is.

Anyways, triathlons are the true master race because it activates more of your muscles and varies the high impact training from running with low impact from cycling and swimming.

remember how the risk of sudden death from your heart expoding increases from long distance running kek

Youre either really dumb or underage

Cross country (3-5 miles) is long distance. There's no buts about it.

>>41986484
>no equipment necessary
Does a good pair of running shoes count because if you go cheap and get karrimore shoes then on a half or full marathon your going to be paraplegic for the next week?

short distance is sprinting

anything approaching and above a 5k is long distance

>>41987208
I would have said 10k +
