Recovering from getting fat. Again. Due to myself.

Ran 3.6 today. Old knee injury started to hurt again. Feels good to be back, though. Gonna keep at it.

I'm freaking the fuck out.

I have 1 month left to get a 11 minute 2.4k
Currently I can only run 1 mile in 7 mins 30 secs

I've yet to run more than a mile without stopping. I have been platued at a mile for a while now.

Can someone write me a m/w/f running program that will add half a mile to my run endurance in 30 days?

(The run is tested on a treadmill and I do my running on a treadmill, so I can use that to my advantage)

Today was endurance day. Did 8 miles about 7:20 minute mile pace. Goal is to finish this routine and be running 30 miles per week in three more weeks. Then school starts again and if my depression doesn't sap my energy I will maybe start training for a faster 10k. Currently about 42 minutes, but it shouldn't be hard to get to 36 or a little lower by winter.

>>42334900
Just run more, fag.

Couch to 10k.

>>42333839
>What was your recent run?
It was nice, went on my favorite beach.

>How'd it feel?
Excellent, bit of pain from old injuries but well worth the endorphin rush.

>What are your goals?
I want to run a sub 21 minute 5k, currently I am at 24:13 as a PR.

What is the running equivalent of 1/2/3/4?

Assuming I'm running on a track with mid-foot strike(that's correct, right?), will my knees still explode if I run an hour a day 5 times a week?
I've been doing step (basically running in place) an hour almost every day for more than a year, no injuries.
I've had tendonitis issues when I've tried switch to jumprope(proper form, correct shoes, ect.) a couple of times, so I'm weary of running.

>>42334900
Run those miles in real life... on roads. TreadmI'll is dead easy after running roads.

19 miler today at 10 min/mile.
>>How'd it feel?
Pretty good, it wasn't balls hot outside.

That combination would make you a world class decathlete, definitely not 1234 lmao

Ran babbies first half marathon yesterday. Completed it in 1:52, happy to get in under 2 and have no injuries.

Some regrets I could have pushed harder but will be entering more in the future

My heart pounds after walking up a 100 ft hill, I'm not fat either I'm 170 at 6'2, I only lift and no cardio but i think I should start because I feel really unhealthy

Good apps for running?

is there a good nonnovice training program from scratch? haven't run in a couple months, but I used to do casual 10+mile runs at 7minutes/mile, and I feel like couch to 5k/such are overreactions on the safety side (I have decent vo2/strength base, and am young and obligation free enough to chance a minor injury)

Went running today. Doing couch to 5k and just completed week 3. I'm 5'6 and 166 pounds. Last 2 sessions my left inner knee was kinda hurting but I still completed the runs. Think it might be cause I don't stretch as much as I should since stretch for like 15 seconds then go. Any other advice (already planning on learning2stretch)?

I can do this run in less than 8 minutes, the secret to running fast is to run more. If you want to do more than a mile the trick is to not stop.

First run in like a month. Started out slow but my last mile was 6:18 pace.

This is too spooky my fellow runnerfags. I havent been an active runner in 2 years and gained back a lot of weight I lost because of life problems. Started to get back into it a few weeks ago since I have more of a hold on things and naturally I feel like dying. Missed a run on Friday so I went 2 laps around the school campus and managed do do 3.27 miles in 31.39 minutes. Somewhat ok for fattie status but I didnt feel tired but I had to go back in since my trail on campus is closed off at night and a squad car was waiting for the sun to go down.
Tonight I decided to run earlier planning on doing a quick 45 mins. I ran 9.42 miles in 1:48:37 non-stop and I only stopped since it was getting late and im fearing injury. Ive hardly eaten a cup of oatmeal and a peach all day yet ive suddenly decided to try to break previous PRs. My thighs are on fire and I cant leave myseat without shuffling like an old man. Give it to me straight /run/, how injured am I probably going to be? I swear im gonna be regreting this all week. Im not even sure how I managed this.
9.42 miles in
>>42337000
Depends what youre looking for.
Runkeeper is good for recording things like time, distance, pace, and so on plus you can see your GPS route on google maps. It has some decent training programs but the pro edition has a lot more but costs money. So its pretty standard and I cant complain besides some gps hiccups.
C25K/C210K is good for strictly training if youre new and want to learn how to run. You cant really review your progress on the basic edition. You just get a check in the box for each workout finished.

>>42337526
You'll be sore for a few days lol, just take them as rest days and try to relax. I feel like if you fucked something up, you would have felt it during the run.

Canadian armed forces bro?

Need to do a 2.4k in ~11 minutes as per the canadian armed forces guideline before i start BMOQ, have to do a 5k too, since morning PT they might make me do one

On couch to 5k now, my shitty shoes set me back a bit and treadmill fucked me too, gonna go all track now with good shoes

Just started getting back to running after an 8 month hiatus. I can barely run 800 meters without stopping, and my heart rate sometimes goes up to 210 (probably shouldn't have drank a sip before running lmao). My stride rate is 160 spm, which is also dogshit. At least I'm 30 lbs lighter now, so hopefully I'll see some speed gains to my 5k when I'll finally be able to run with a better cadence and without stopping.

>>42334900
Try running slower first, just focus on being able to run a bit more than a mile without stopping, then go back to increasing your speed. The block may partially be mental, you may find it a lot easier to run a mile without stopping the second time.

>>42334900
I fucked up my post >>42338606, when I said a mile, I meant 2.4 km or about 1.5 mile.

Anyone else here run because they like it?

I always run at night, usually around 10pm. It's so relaxing to not have to be near people and just run.

>>42335288
>Currently about 42 minutes, but it shouldn't be hard to get to 36 or a little lower by winter.
pretty lofty goals there mate

>>42338834
I loved running at night, but I changed my sleep schedule recently, so I can't do it until autumn, when it will start to get dark early again.

>>42339524
I hate running at night. The roads by my house are pretty fast/busy. 4-6am is perfect though.

>>42339191
I'm already consistently faster than when I did 42:00. And that goal would only be about 6:00 per mile and that's my pace for tempo runs. As I keep training them and increasing the time I should be pretty close.

I joined the Air Force. Gotta run 1 and a half miles under 15 minutes, i generally run 2 miles in 18 minutes, any tips to get this time down? I normally run my 2 miles mondays and wednesdays

>>42333839
>What was your recent run?
Terrible.
How'd it feel?
Painful.
What are your goals?
I just want to run a half-marathon without any injuries. Besides that, I'd like to get to 4 minutes per kilometer for 5k.

But no, my body is somehow against me. I hurt my right calf really badly, no idea what happened, if it was just a turbocramp or if I tore something a bit but it hurt and still hurts.
I just want to run, man.

>>42334154
don't keep running with an old injury flares up. get neutral shoes without a higher sole and avoid heelstriking

>>42340301
you need to sit less and stretch those hip flexors

Why does nobodies ( or rarely) ever recommend watching the horizon / fat away ?

I used to perform the beta run , not looking further than 3 meter in front of me , I recently got good trails shoes and I can literally ignore my path and keep looking the trail as far as possible , really make the run way easier in the head .

>>42340335
Wait no I'm dumb, it took an hour and 45 minutes

Threadly reminder, lads: https://www.strava.com/clubs/fitizens

>>42339575
that sounds more reasonable then. if youre already doing tempo runs at that pace your 10k should already be at like 38

>>42333839
>What was your recent run?
Treadmill 5k in about 27 minutes

>How'd it feel?
Pretty good, a little tightness in calves, but nothing bad.

>What are your goals?
I'm currently just trying to run about 4 5ks a week in less than 28 minutes each. The goal isn't too crazy & it keeps me burning calories all week.

My current goal is to run a marathon. I've been training all year. I'm running 8 - 10 miles per day now, and I run 13 - 15 miles on Saturday. I'm hoping to run my first marathon in October.

>>42336822

1.52 for a half marathon first time is pretty good.

What's your normal routine like?

I did it, guys. I ran 10 miles for the first time just now. It took an hour and fifty minutes, but just six months ago I was struggling to do a single mile and my knee was exploding.

These threads are going to save my fucking life.

>>42333839
Ran a 5k the other day, 19:40.
Could've gone faster, but I'm starting to train for a half marathon and wanted to get a 5k time for pace.
Goals are to have good workouts, no real time goals in mind, would like to get 5k time to around 16 and mile time to sub 5.

Fucking terrible. Tore my meniscus on Friday. Can barely walk, and didn't even get any decent painkillers because every doctor in Massachusetts is too terrified to prescribe opiates.

>>42340359
It's a knee I had surgery on when I was 13. I'm missing some of the weight bearing tissue in it. Docs said I would just have a little pain in it for the rest of my life. Only hurts at the end of long runs and when the weather changes and a little stretching alleviates it.

>>42342311

>>42342295
look up kratom as a potential painkiller. shit tastes nasty af but if you measure it out and slug it, it's basically just as effective as any opiate based painkiller. you'd be looking for a red strain for pain relief, if you need it

>>42341994

running is the thinking man's exercise
best time to go is at sunset when the sky turns purple and the air is clearer

Been running or biking every day for the past week
-Ran a 22 minute 5k on thursday casually
-Biked 20 miles on friday
-Ran another 5 miles on saturday (took it slow though)
-Ran a 10k yesterday in around 45 minutes

I haven't been too consistent lately, but as I up the mileage, I hope to get back to a 20 minute 5k at least. Fastest time I recorded for myself last year was a 5:20 mile; with that kind of speed I should be able to hit an 19 minute 5k if I really prepped for it for a month or two. I haven't been doing enough speed shit though...

>>42333839
What was your recent run?
>21.1k, I bailed out because I was cold, and was hoping to do more. Oh well, good enough for goverment work lol

What are your goals?
>today, 15km app. to put me over 400km for the month. Long term, I want to run longer distances.

>>42342620
kratom is great man, I have bad eczema flare-ups every once in a while, and it helps stop the itching

Anyone read 'born to run' by this bloke Christopher McDougall? I'm reading it right now. Its an easy read, sucks you right in but sometimes its a bit hard to believe. I'm still undecided.

Still a good read about the passion of running. Also it made me really curious about running barefoot. I have a shitload of problems with my feet and knees and spent so much money on inlay soles and running shoes but nothing helps for long. Maybe going barefoot will..

>>42344301
It's a really enjoyable book. I read Scott Jurek's Eat and Run afterwards, which was alright, but definitely preachy about veganism.

I picked up a pair of Xero Trails after reading Born to Run and ran in those for a little bit to slowly get myself used to it. Running on pavement is actually a lot better than running on grass and lets you learn a lot more quickly if you're doing anything wrong, form wise. I've been using Merrel Vapor Glove 2s and mostly just use my sandals for general walking/hiking now, but the Vapor Glove 2s are 100% my favorite. I haven't had any real issues with my form or potential injuries cropping up.

If you get into the barefoot meme, just take it slow with them. You can keep running in your normal shoes for the time being but don't forget to slowly ease yourself into running with zero drops/no cushion/barefoot.

>>42344712
Meant to say running barefoot on pavement is a lot better than on grass*

Yeah man it's kind of exciting. When fall semester starts in three weeks I'll be back in a town better than my shit hole and the 6-10 mile distances I'll be running is the distance between my university and this other cute town I like to visit sometimes. I can just run between cities lol.

This winter I will be making fun of everyone here who runs 10k slower than 36:00. Get ready for it, guys.

Reminds me of a guy who saw me running and told me I was running wrong, taking small strides. He showed me how I was suppose to run, clearly overstriding and with a cadence of maybe 160 spm. I explained to him this was bad, but couldn't convince him.

>>42344712
>Not using the trail gloves
It's like you enjoy stepping on rocks. I loved my old road gloves but they finally about bit the dust as the bottoms are just too thin. Got the trail gloves 3 and am really enjoying these shoes and I don't even use them on trails.

>>42346389
Honestly, I don't even mind stepping on rocks lol. I'll hardly pay attention to the trail and really never have any issues. I think my last 10 mile run I did I had maybe two instances of stepping on a shitty rock and it didn't really even do much.

What's the fucking point in running?
Running from what?

It's so boring, literally, what am I supposed to think while I run? there's no reps to count

2 miles into my first run, I felt the worst abdominal cramps. About a minute later, it was clear I had the shits. I ended up having to pull my pants down on the side of the alleyway and let it pour out like soda from a soda fountain. Is this common for runners? Will it go away?

>>42348153
Very common. I can't believe you've never watched runners at a marathon before. There's so much shit on the side of the race path that they have dedicated teams to pick it all up.

You can measure yourself against time spent runnings; distance covered; highest speed; highest speed at longest duration' maximum heart rate, number of other runners you beat across the finish line etc

There are a lot of things that you could count.

You're supposed to count the stupid fat normie runners and old cyclists you take over.

>>42348153
I only had this happen to me once, but I had diarrhea that day to begin with. Just make sure shitting precedes running during your day.

are those stores where they measure your feet and have you run on a treadmill while filming to run in slowmo and look at your pronation/supination to get the best shoe a meme?

>>42349914
Depends. If they instantly suggest the most expensive or least sold shoe then most likely. However consultation is free(at least at the store I went to) and if they recommend a shoe you dont have to buy it that day and you can do your own research on the shoe and feedback and see if it doesnt sound like bullshit. I know that Roadrunner lets you try for 90 days risk free or whatever but I think thats only if you have the vip membership.

>>42349914
It's actually a really good thing if you go in knowing nothing about your running. If you are quite experienced however, trying out shoes yourself is enough. Recommendations are never a bad thing however

how accurate are step trackers on the iphone? Not the apple watch.

>>42348094
what excites me is whether or not I'll manage to break my PR. I'll start with a PR pace and will be like "oh boy, it's happening today" along the way. If it doesn't happen, well, at least I pushed myself, i.e. I'll use the gains from this run to push myself even further next time. Eventually I'll break my PR, set a new goal, and the cycle continues.

I run 5ks, started last July, first time was 39 minutes. 2 days ago I run it in 26 minutes. It doesn't sound super crazy but it's a huge achievement for me. One step at a time, I managed to bring my time down by 13 minutes in just one year. All those times, I quit half way through because of feeling like shit, all those times I did not quit and pushed myself to my maximum limits, barely breathing, feeling like dying, have paid off. And it always pays off, which is why I love running.

Straight Edge lifestyle

>>42340285
Run every single day and work on your posture. Even a cheap pair of running shoes feels much lighter than normal sneakers.

early morning runners, what's your routine from bed → pavement? I live in hot as fuck italy and work late so I can only run mornings but don't know if I should drink water or run while fasted. is it normal to be slower during fasted runs?

>>42350918
Usually if I know I'm going to drink saturday, I'll just do the long run saturday morning instead. Then sunday recovery run in the afternoon.

>>42352008
I'll have a normal breakfast 90% of the time. Then just wait 15-20 minutes and hit the road. If I'm pressed for time though, I'll just eat a banana and go.

>>42350707
wtf? I love running now!

no, but really I'll give it a try again, I was just angry of losing progress because of my schedule and never picking it up again, but now I won't make shitty excuses, I'll stay late in my uni's track if I have to

>>42352008
I usually drink a bit of water but do not eat before my morning runs.
I think if I run for speed I am a bit slower than usual but never actually measured the time difference though

Has anyone had meniscus surgery before? How was it when you started running again? What was the timeline to running after it?


>>42342295
Had meniscus surgery back in may for a torn lateral meniscus on my left knee. Shit sucked. If the doctors goes for a meniscus repair you'll be on crutches for six weeks, it's just a debridement you should be walking the following the day

i did too much coke 2 weeks ago and now i have weird heart palpitations. im starting to do cardio to improve my heart health.

when i was 16 i did 1500m in 5:07. im 20 and today was my first time doing cardio since then. ran 3.5k at lowish pace (12km/h). going to increase the speed a bit each day and hopefully my heart fixes itself and i dont die

Hey runners, what's a good running shoe for me? I've never really run before, and I'd like a relatively inexpensive shoe is good for running on asphalt but that isn't too slow and must look good. Advice?

>>42350918
run on saturday. running with a hangover sucks, trust me. you will feel constantly dehydrated and and random pains + you'll suck because you won't probably be rested properly.

>>42355301
Saucony Cohesion 8's. They're one of the best shoes I've ever used. The only problem is that...they're cheap so they don't last long.

>>42355301
What's expensive for you anon? I like my Adidas Energy boost because they've lasted for a really long time while still providing the support I need. Remember that cheap ones aren't that cheap if they get worn out immediately

>>42356388
like maybe 80 bucks max. But that might not be possible

>>42356403
Well the problem with that might be that as soon as you get used to running you might need to get new ones

>>42355182
maybe your first course of action should not be to do cardio but to stop doing coke

>>42358458
that was the only time i've done it

I watched this video on running: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RlvKMxPMr0

The guy suggests raising your lower leg to about parallel with the deck after you strike with it, but I've found that when I force it I end up overstriding. Does anyone know how I can fix that? It might just be hip flexor tightness

>>42348094

>>42355182
Ex-alchy here who started gettin' heart palps because of getting smashed every night. Went to a cardiologist and a few other doctors who told me my heart was fine but shit still freaked me out so I started running. Fell in love with running and my heart palps are gone. Just keep at it, start slow, and you'll feel better for it.

>>42335921
That isn't that fast oh my God. 2:30 is a little low, maybe 2:45 would be better. But an 11 second 100m is nothing, 5 minute mile is achievable after about 1 year, and 16 minute 5k after about a year and a half. The question was about an equivalent to a 1/2/3/4, and that's achievable after about 1 year also. So it is a fine comparison. Relatively hard but simple with training.

sweet. i think my heart is fine because my bpm is still normal even when palpitating and its happening less frequently i think. was you addicted to alcohol? how long for and did you withdraw cold turkey?

>>42337360
I'll vouch for this, was able to get an extra half mile over my personal best last night by not stopping when I thought I wanted to.

>>42333839

>>42360279
Why don't you just drink some milk and eat some oats?

>>42359893
Yeah, it's probably just some after-effects of coke or some shit. It'll probably go away.

Not really addicted, I just got too comfortable with drinking a ton of hard liquor every night for years. I eventually tapered off, got back onto it for a bit, and then tapered off again. I'm, surprisingly, able to have a few beers and then stop now, which might not even classify me as an actual alcoholic but whatever.

Was drinking consistently every night, anywhere from 8-14 shots, (never during the day) from 2011ish-2015ish.

Hey /run/

I am writing a script about a girl that is being chased by a killer, a plot element being that she isn't just some random girl but a runner. Or at least someone who goes on jogs and runs fairly often.

Want to introduce this bit of her character in a subtle way without outright saying so, this means showing a piece of clothing article, type of bottle water or shoes etc. I am a lazy shit who has no idea about any of these things.

The set up is that she has packed her belongings and is driving away from town, when on the road she encounters the killer. She is tricked into getting out of the car and then the chase scene ensues. The easiest way would be to just show some trophies or medals among her belongings but kinda wanna have something on her that is a constant reminder. Would like to avoid using brands if possible.

How is your cycling speed relevant when it's way above average, especially for old people? Some old fucks cycle slow enough so that I can overtake them by running at 13 km/h, but it's fairly rare desu, I was mostly joking with that one. Hopefully I'll get better though.

I worked with a sports medicine doc of 20+ years for a while who always recommended these or adrenalines to patients for comfort/impact support. It'd be a good daily trainer I would guess, but I haven't personally tried them.

the last workout for week 2 had me dying i barely finished, there's no way i can do a week 3 workout

i got some proper shoes (pegasus 34s) and had the guy at the store evaluate my gait and form and he said my form is good

i tried repeating the week 2 90 second running workout but the soreness fucks me over and i just can't run anymore

wtf do i do? i want to be a runner but i'mm feeling mad discouraged right now

Your muscles will adapt to the stress, so eventually you won't feel sore for days after running. Make sure to stretch and try foam rolling.

>can't progress because I get a burning pain in my ankles/lower shins 5 minutes into every run
I didn't even change my routine, it just started happening. I have to stop fairly often to walk until the pain goes down, only for it to come back with 30s of running.

Any anons have tips to stop this?

QUestion about weight/running and potential injuries that could arise:

I'm 6'1" 225, very active and at the end of the bulk. I've been running 5-6 km every day for 4 days now and would like to keep doing it every day in addition to my lifting.

I've never ran this often at this weight, usually I'm about 190 or so. Am I at any serious risk of a stress fracture? What should I watch for? I don't want to stop running, I'm really starting to enjoy it again.

>tfw finish run and sit by the lake

>>42364258
Shin splints? I have the same shit feels more like whatever muscle is there tibialis I think. Some days doesn't hurt at all and I can run 5 plus miles other days I struggle for 3.

>>42364258

Buy new shoes and ease into them. If you keep running you'll get stress fractures. Take some time off, like 2 weeks. Make sure you're getting enough calcium.

>>42333839
So I'm losing weight Soo I'm doing stadiums and sprints but my calves always feel tight during the sessions, is it okay to stretch in between the workout? I foam roll after I'm completely done but I've never had tight calves until now

What's your recovery routine after doing long runs (e.g. 10miles and greater)?

Is there anything (apart from the obvious rest a lot) that you think everyone should do or, for you, personally works really well?

Food items? specific stretches?

>>42365551
>imperial height/weight units
>metric distance ran
I found this interesting enough to spend a minute I will never get back to point it out.

I saw a video about leg strength for athletes, not specifically for runners, it was like this:
Back Squat/Box Squat
DB reverse lunge
Single Leg Romanian Deadlift
Hamstring curl on swiss ball
Calf raises
Reverse calf raises (the guy said that these are needed if you do calf raises, because the imbalances might give you shin splints)
Also, the guy said to do high reps instead of lifting heavy.
Does this look good? Any other recommendations?

It has not gone away for 4 days now. I have missed 2 runs now because I can't stand, let alone run. Can't even workout at all, did 20 pushups today and had to crawl across the room before I could get up.

Makes sense - you want to build lean endurance muscle rather than bulky weightlifter type muscle.

Does he perform them fast or slow movements though?

>>42367838
>food
Chocolate milk. I always drink a quart of it after a 16+ mile run to recover. Also, I ride my bike for 30 minutes the next day.

Bout to go hit a fat run. My back is fucked up for some reason, I think it's cause I've been hitting retarded amounts of push-ups and pullups errday, so running is all I'm gonna do till I heal.

>>42333839
Running is it an exercise. It's a warm up activity for leg muscles.

If you think you are /fit/ because you run a lot or fast just kill yourselves.

At my running club tonight was some Eritrean bloke who's just moved here that I ran with. Fuck me he was fast. We did the last 2 miles of our seven miles at about 6:12 pace and he didn't even break a sweat and was barely even breathing.

It was all off road and on the route there's these 3 quite small but very steep hills one after the other and he shot up them like a rocket. He ran up them faster than I can run on flat and he didn't even look like he was trying. Anyway, it turns out he has a 29:xx 10k and a 2:17:xx marathon. Easily the best runner I've ever run with.

Okay, dropped the cardio classes since they all involved a lot of jumping. Kept biking and walking for exercise, as well as weightlifting

AHHHHHH

I'm trying to improve my run time for the APFT, which is currently a 14:35 2 mile. I decide to improve my endurance after realizing I slow almost a full minute on my second mile pace. However, I'm starting to both slow down and I'm running shorter distances (barely did 3 miles today with slower split times than ever)

Wtf is going on.

If i do uphill sprints very often, will it .ake a bug difference in endurance and speed??

>>42372406
please.

>>42372484
Especially for your uphill running.

>>42363159
Take a break if the soreness is really bad. An extra day or two of rest between workouts isn't going to hurt when you're starting out, especially if it means you can push harder. Over time you'll get used to it. You can push through some soreness; a proper warm-up and stretch helps a lot. Static stretching can make it worse, so save the stretching for after your warm-up. Oh, and take like 2-3 ibuprofen.

>tfw neutral shoes and midfoot strike caused my recurring knee problems. After years of physical therapy, corrective orthotics, and patience, I can't run more than 3 miles without patellofemoral pain syndrome flairing up.

>>42344301
Be really careful transitioning into any sort of minimalist shoe if you already have knee or tendon problems. While in theory running barefoot or with minimal footware will promote better form and less trouble on your joints, if your form is bad enough (bad range of motion or wrong muscle groups firing), you'll probably just start doing more damage to yourself, especially if you use the minimal shoes for more than just a small part of your running.

I know you're right that running with a hangover can be horrible, but there seems to be a short window usually between being drunk and being hungover. If I down a liter of water before leaving the house, I can usually sweat the hangover out, or at least mitigate a lot of its effects. It might not be the best run ever, but it usually turns out a lot better than expected.

I have been running for 15 years or so
just 45 min every other day at a moderately slow pace

then i got into lifting, and abandoned running
i got strong, but fat (at least for my standards)

I am trying to get back to running, to lose some of this stupid fat, while maintaining my lifts
I am balls deep into 30 mins alternating slow to medium pace
I am feeling pretty good, but the fat is still there

Hey runners!
I got a few questions you might help with.
>When running, I have a weird pain on my right ankle. It's like it doesn't bend enough so there is some choc at each stride. Any idea what it can be, and how to correct it?

>I'm training for a 13.1. So I'm trying to go for some tempo runs, and some easy, short and long runs. But I kinda fail on the easy part. Each time I aim for a "slow" run, I complete it at my regular normal speed of about 7.2mph. Any tips on how to slow down?

>Also, nutrition wise, should I eat at a (small) deficit, or at a small surplus? I figured that since during the run I'll have to fuel some of the effort on fat, staying on a deficit would mean my body is used to use the fat reserves, the the chemical part is already in place. Might be overthinking the process though...

>And last one, if my training goes better than expected, can I run the 13.1 miles a week before the actual race in my long run day, just to get a feel of the distance, or is it unwise?

Thanks!

>>42376371
Count you calories. And try to get a realistic evaluation of your TDEE. Eat at a 20~25% deficit, very high protein (like more than 1g per lbs of body weight). Keto isn't necessary, but might help to curve the cravings and to get enough good fats. Age is a factor in that your metabolism slows dow as you grow older, but you always can loose weight! And keep on lifting hard to maintain the volume and strength gains.

>>42367849
Not him, but I'm a yurofag, and I tend to use imperial for my height and weight when I post, but kilometres for distances.

I fucking love running. Today I ran 3.5 miles avg pace 9 minute mile. yeah whatever im not going for speed. frigg off. it's a special time of day where i can just tune out the bull shit and enjoy something totally primal, something i know i was built to do. and afterwards when im all sweaty af the shower is so rewarding. then later in the day i did 21 2 pl8 squats 21 2pl8 deadlifts 45 box jumps, 420 jump ropes, 3x10s L-sits and phyiscal therapy for my shoulder. good day!

>>42376397
Thank you for the advice
The thing is, no matter the way, I am neglecting getting back into a restriction diet, because i now know the HUGE benefits of high carb
headaches, dizzy spells, eating 6-7 times a day... totally GONE
i eat 3 meals, and I am full, i get into the gym happy, I get out of the gym happy, and I truly enjoy my daily cardio.

I am currently, as you suggest, reducing my calories instead of restricting carbs, to see if I lose some fat, but at the same time, I think maybe I need to be a little more patient: this hybrid approach will not get the fast results of low carbs or high fat, but a better outcome in the end
thank you again

are shoes really important for shin splints?

which should I buy? there's a ton out there....

>>42376499
Indeed be patient. Loosing weight is not a quick process unless you're a hamplanet. You can usually loose half a pound per week/2.2lbs per month. Also keep in mind that your actual weight on the scale varies a lot depending on your salt and water intake and bowel movements so sometimes even if you actually lost a pound of fat you can't actually see it on the scale. Persistence is the key!

IMO, many times the problem is overestimating your capacity, burning yourself down, and never coming back
you have to stay into a pace, distance, and time that is comfortable for you, so that you STICK TO IT forever, while improving

You are supposed to do dynamic stretches (the ones where you constantly move, and don't just stay in a stretched position for a minute) before running. I usually do the ones from the warm ups section from the link in the sticky, but there are probably better, more running oriented ones: https://phrakture.github.io/molding-mobility.html
The other anon who replied to you is partially correct though, you should avoid static stretching before exercise, however it may be useful afterwards, especially if you have tight muscles. Anecdotal evidence, but static stretching after runs has reduced the rate of minor injuries for me.

>>42376382

>>42378297
Pain on ankle might be form issue. Check some videos, pay special attention to cadence, mid-foot strike, and making sure you're not overstriding.
To slowdown, have a heart rate monitor or a GPS watch and force yourself to stay in your easy pace/effort
I know nothing about nutrition
You can run the whole thing before, but 1 week seems too close to the race, if you're gonna do it, do it 3-4 weeks before.

Hey I want to lose some weight .
Right now I eat my TDEE before any kind of cardio -500 and then I eat all of my cardio calories back .
I end up most day with between -500 or - 750 but I eat up close to 2500 calories .

Is it efficient to create the deficit by doing huge amounts of cardio ?

I do 1 mile on the treadmill then 1 mile on the elliptical then repeat till I have at least 4 miles. Did 5 miles yesterday holding at max treadmill speed for the last .2 miles, felt great.

My goal is to get down to 140 pounds from 180. Currently at ~152.

After I get my weight down my goal will switch to getting the fastest possible mile times I can.

When I started following the wagon I thought this was true , but for most peoples 200g dry lentils ends up being a big plate , I can easily eat that with 150g of dry rice next to it + the veggie and all , this is a 1000 + Kcals meals , it really physically satiate me but i'm still a hungry fuckers in the head after that .

>>42378614
( the cooked equivalent of hoses dry value offcourses )
Add 2 bowl of oatmeals a day with their seeds nuts and fruits and I can easily ends up at 3000 Kcals + a day without really meaning it .

>>42378614
yh but when your running 10k-15k a day you need in the region of 5000 calories to maintain

>>42378648
I don't do much beside running .
I don't think my lifestyle on most calculators is anything above " lightly active" I use that then add my cardio.

Only ends up at 3050 calories a day on day I run the most.

I'd gain a kg of fat every 4 day eating 5000

>>42378611
No. Training for that would probably make me hate running lol. I have other things in my life I need to work on more.
Maybe I should do it anyway. Do you win money for marathons?

>>42333839
If I jump and land with impact, whether it's 50cm or 10 cm in the air, my tendons in my achilles micro-tear/tear.

Overly tight calves. Been to NHS and Private healthcare. Seems to be a permanent thing as the stretches I did for over two years did fuck all.

Also get shin splints cus muh low arch.

Earliest memory is when the pain started was during college at 16-17. Since then, I have to be careful or I won't be able to walk for a month.

I do enjoy running but have to nitpick when I can and can't because of my fucked up legs.
P.S. I would class this as a legitimate disability, even though it hasn't been too bad recently.

>>42378678
yh if you can run sub 2:20 i guess

>>42378673
being a previous fat boy i have experience with eating and providing i keep my diet lean i don't gain weight stick to 80/10/10 then you will be fine.. as greggor says the fat you eat is the fat you wear.. it is un economical to convert excess carbs to fat so the body will burn calories in the process of doing this

have you tryed just eating vegan as you like and monitoring your weight not calories?

>>42378710
learn to run properly - stop wearing cushoned shoes

>>42378711
Hmmm
80/10/10 would limit my legumes consumption due to the proton limits and my oats consumption due to the inability to use much seeds , it may work kek .

What's your rest and relaxation routine like in between runs?

>>42379380
around 10k every day and a long run over 18 miles once a fortnight/ cycling on the weekend & the occasional swim session no running once a week

currently not much after marriage and a honeymoon + getting the flu after snowdon just easing myself back in with a steady 10k tonight

>>42378451
>>42378549
Eating calories back is a bad idea. You say you like eating huge amounts of food, and you won't fix your shitty eating habits by losing weight mostly through cardio. You say you want to do huge amounts of cardio, I assume this means more than usual, which means that once you reach your goal weight and decrease the amount of exercise, you will inevitably gain the weight back. There is a risk of injury from increasing your weekly mileage too fast, and you might give up losing weight if you get injured for a week. The calorie estimates for exercise can also be inaccurate, so you may eat back more than you've burned, slowing down your progress.

>>42379507
i agree he should walk not run :)

Currently I lift 3x a week and run 2 Miles on my off days (Tues,Thurs), I also run one mile on lifting days. Gonna try to bump it up to running 3 miles on off days and maybe 2 miles on lifting days. I'm also looking for some good HIIT programs, any idea where to start?

I have a hard time forcing myself to stay at a pace slower than my natural pace just so I can go further
it's just another thing to work on I guess

Why do hobby runners use the marathon as the benchmark for their goals?
What's wrong with wanting to just increase speed for something like a 10k?
All of these distances seem pretty arbitrary, but I generally don't want to be running at an intensive pace for longer than like 40 minutes.

>>42380416
I don't get the hobby runner mind either.
I have a 5k race next week, and everyone keeps saying "only 5k?"
Same people who find a 6h marathon more impressive than a sub 20min 5k

hi m8
>When running, I have a weird pain on my right ankle. It's like it doesn't bend enough so there is some choc at each stride. Any idea what it can be, and how to correct it?
Not sure what you mean by choc, but you might consider getting your ankle checked out if it keeps on happening. It might have something to do with your form, or your shoes, or just something that happened in the past and is being exacerbated by running.

>I'm training for a 13.1. So I'm trying to go for some tempo runs, and some easy, short and long runs. But I kinda fail on the easy part. Each time I aim for a "slow" run, I complete it at my regular normal speed of about 7.2mph. Any tips on how to slow down?
Hey, I'm doing the same training. Something that helped me slow down a lot for starting with base training was taking smaller steps but slightly increasing my spm. You kind of have to play with it a bit but you should be able to find an area that feels good and is slower than your pace/tempo run. I might also recommend a heart rate monitor for slow runs. Depending on the temperatures where you live, and assuming you can figure out your max heart rate, monitoring your heart rate can help you figure out your stride/pacing for slow runs.

>>42380745
>Also, nutrition wise, should I eat at a (small) deficit, or at a small surplus? I figured that since during the run I'll have to fuel some of the effort on fat, staying on a deficit would mean my body is used to use the fat reserves, the the chemical part is already in place. Might be overthinking the process though...
I've honestly just kind of been eating whatever and haven't really had any issues. I hit 10mi for the first time last weekend with a decent pace after eating a bunch of spaghetti and some beer the night before, and then a banana and granola bar the next morning. I'll just say the gay thing: "listen to your body"

>And last one, if my training goes better than expected, can I run the 13.1 miles a week before the actual race in my long run day, just to get a feel of the distance, or is it unwise?
I don't really see it being unwise so long as you take the majority of the next week easy. Higdon's last week for half marathon training has you do a 12 mi the weekend before your half marathon, and then the rest of the week is just small runs. Just be careful with it.

Popliteus / MCL / Medial gastroc injury guy here.

Learned today I need to strengthen my hips and really work out my IT band.

I thought I was stretching my IT bands by bending over to the side but that stretch seems inefficient as I'm doing it now.

Do I stay completely in the horizontal plane or push my hip not just to the side but back a little?

How do I strengthen hips?

It's because to somebody who isn't involved pace doesn't mean anything, it's not a variable they ever think about in their lives. Distance is something they can relate to

>>42362375
nice broscience friend

pretty sure this is hogwash, KE is 1/2 * m * v^2, even with the increased muscle mass this is the reason why distance runners are incredibly light. Probably wrong about the following since I'm just a uni student, but my guess would be that increased muscle mass/volume doesn't necessarily correlate with corresponding increase in oxidative capacity for your muscles, especially since much of the muscle mass gained in weight training is typeIIb fibres.

Ive been running for a long time, but until a year ago I just trained for hs cross country and mountain biking teams, so my runs were rarely more than 5 miles. I started running longer distance last winter but I didn't have enough money to enter actual races. I've run three "half marathons" which consisted of me running around on Rocky/hilly trails and farm roads till I hit 13.1 miles on gps, and my best time was 1 hour 35 minutes, although I feel I could do better in an actual race cause the course would be flatter. I just turned 18, so my body is just now developed enough to run marathons and not fuck itself completely. Can you guys rec me a routine for an intermediate runner to prepare himself for a marathon? Most shit I find online is for beginners or pussies.

>>42382364
Check the hal higdon plans. Maybe intermediate 2 or advanced 1 should be good for you

Anyone have any good resources on hiit and how and why it works? Everything I find online is aimed at women telling them what machines to do hiit on. None of them explain shit.

>>42383520
You did good anon. Now aim for either a 4:30 pace for your 10k, or a half marathon

>>42383537
If you're looking for hiit in running, just google intervals. Pretty sure ive seen a bunch of links that explains why it works.

Can you guys recommend good starter running shoes? Pls nothing too expensive, thanks. (Will skechers do good?)

>>42384168
I got a pair of Asics Venture 5 running shoes on Amazon and I started c25k and they're great.

Anyone else fuck with Injinji socks?

I've only had them for a month but I love mine. Very dope

Was having pain in my hip flexors, bought a foam roller, holy fuck this thing is practically orgasmic to use

how often do you buy new shoes?

I buy new shoes once every 400 miles or so

>>42384168

everyone's foot is different, there are shoe stores you can go to that tell you what's best for your type of foot. they make you run a treadmill to see if you pronate etc.

How do you breathe while running? I find myself 10 minutes into it huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf. After about 25 minutes it settles itself and I get rolling effortlessly, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong when I start off that could be potentially dangerous.

Has anyone tried those nikegrip socks? Do they keep your feet from moving in your shoes better?

>>42385949
>>falling for the running store shoe meme

haha. How's your c25k week 3 coming?

If you had ever put any miles in you'd know how important shoes are. The right shoe can help prevent shin splints, stress fractures, and an uneven stride.

Currently fucking disabled because I dislocated my knee in a full sprint. Third fucking time this happened. One of my tendons is apparently poorly placed, and they're going to surgically manipulate it so it keeps the knee in place better.

Fuck this gay earth.

>>42386854

Where it pops in and out? how much did it hurt on a scale of 1 to 10?

>>42386915
Honestly, after it popped out I walked a mile back to my car. It was a very sharp pain, but was only bad for a few minutes. After that it swelled to the size of a grapefruit. Nothing got torn so all things considered it wasn't that bad. Also, as I said, this is the third time this has happened so I was just sort of pissed that this was going to get in the way of my mobility again. On a scale of 1-10, probably around a 5.

I wouldn't want it to happen again (it will), but if I tore my ACL or something it would hurt a lot worse, and I'd be a lot more pissed.

I don't live in a particularly safe area and it gets extremely hot during the day so I'm averse to running outdoors. The nearest "nature trail" is over 25km from my house too. Our local rec center has some treadmills in it that I could run on. Is it acceptable to do something like C25K on a treadmill? I suppose running on a treadmill is better than not running at all.

>>42386386
>potentially dangerous
lmao
you're fine dude. maybe just start out a little bit slower until you find your pace, but if you're finding it anyway, I don't see what the big deal is

>>42387086
Where are you from lol?
Honestly, running in broad daylight isn't too terrible, especially if it's hot out. No one really wants to do shit when it's hot out.
If you really have to, you can use a treadmill for C25k but it's always preferable to run outside

>recent

Did a 7:21 mile today. 6'2" 240lbs strongfat here. This is my quickest mile so far. For distance days I'll do 5k minimum and my furthest yet was 4.5 mi

>feels

Well my quickest mile, so it felt nice. Good warm-up before a strong chest and shoulders day.

>goals

I'm currently working on 3 short term goals, 1) A sub 7 minute mile 2) a 5 mile no stop run and 3) a 25 minute 5k time. These are easily attainable in just a few months i think.

Finishing a marathon gives the highest reward in terms of respect from other normies, for the least effort.

>>42335476
2:30:00 marathon is way harder than 5 min mile or 16 min 5k.

It's acceptable to use treadmills if you really can't run where you live, but >muh heat is a shit excuse. You should try running in the heat, it's actually not that bad. You sweat a lot, and the wind from running cools you down pretty well.

>>42387430
You should make sure you're not overstriding (your foot landing too far out in front of your body), because that's inefficient, and can lead to injuries.
You should also make sure you have good cadence, usually 180 steps per minute or more is recommended. You can measure your cadence easily by counting every step you take with your right leg for a minute, and then multiplying it by two. Increasing your cadence is also a good way to avoid overstriding, assuming you have that problem in the first place.
Midfoot landing is generally recommended, but heel-striking isn't necessarily bad as long as you're not overstriding.
Make sure to use actual running shoes, and replace them after about 300-400 miles.

Over half a year of running and I sill cant run more than 3km without collapsing.
Should I just end it?

Not following anything. Running track at college because it's mandatory.

pretty accurate
generates custom training planes based on goals fitness level and runs you want per week
intervall training requires you to manual press stop start

zombies run
adds a zombie story to your run
6 seasons
stories are clips between your music so you can set how long they take (as opposed to runtastic story rns where they ahve a set length)
not as accurate though
comes with basic non costumizable training plans(they still got me to my first HM though)
