Anyone have good workouts that maximize calorie burn?

>>42394143
>How far have you run this week?
12 miles but I have my long run tomorrow. Did 10 miles last weekend and I'm going to shoot for the same and, depending on how I'm feeling, I might go for 11. Also going to bring a snack with me this time around because I felt like I was going to die after my run last weekend.
>What are you working on?
Training for a couple of half marathons on a Higdon plan. Novice bois
>How was your last run?
A lot better than the same run I did on Monday. 4 miles @ about 9:20/mi for an easy run. Tuesday was a sort of accidental tempo but I did my 4 miles @ 7:58/mi. Felt pretty good.
>Any new gear that you've been enjoying?
Picked up some Injinji socks that I really like. Takes a minute to get used to wearing them though. Also considering buying a Camelbak pack for water/snack storage on long runs.

>>42394274
Running is pretty weird in that regardless of how fast or slow you're going, you're basically going to end up burning the same amount of calories per mile, which is usually around 100cal/mi. That said, there's no accounting for the way that your body works and everyone is different. For burning calories, I'd recommend a long, slow run or a longer, slow bicycle ride.

What are the best earphones for running under £50 ($65)?

>>42394354
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DZXFB1Q/

These are probably going to be the best bang for your buck, as far as wireless buds go. I have a pair of Jaybird X2s that I use for most of my runs and they're definitely more expensive but I feel that they're worth it.

>>42394304
Ok thanks for advice. I'm rather fat and I find that running is the best way to burn it (lost 2kg in 3 weeks). Just wondering, speed really doesn't make a difference? Except of course covering ground more quickly.

>>42394415
Like everyone says, your diet is going to be the most important but running will help as well.
As far as I'm aware, speed isn't really going to make a difference. You might burn slightly more calories because you're running faster, but you're not going to be able to run as long because you'll ultimately burn yourself out. The quickest way to get faster is to run slower. Doing slow, long runs will help you maintain a caloric deficit and will help you build your base in the long run. If you haven't already, you should check out C25K.

>>42394143
i started running for the first time 4 weeks ago, so far, i am only up to 4 miles per go, three times a week.
pretty slow too, takes me over 30 minutes each time.
i'm gonna quit smoking next week, i hope to improve drastically from that alone.

>>42394143

If you get sore shins your running WRONG.

I had shin splints, learned proper technique now don't have them.

>>42394504
Thanks, I did program similar to that, trained 4 months and can easily run for 45 mins now (around 8 km).

>eating while running

Just sounds so wrong. Granted 9 miles is the most I've ever ran but I'd probably throw up

>>42395058

Nonsense. Just because it worked for you doesn't mean it's the rule for everyone. There are many causes.

>>42395058
There are tons of different causes for sore shins, man. Yeah, bad form will give you shin splints but so will a lot of other stuff. Running a lot of hills makes my shins sore for an hour or so after I get done but I've never had shin splints.

>>42395058

I agree. Many times, padded shoes encourage plodding which lead to shin splints.

Its been ages since I had to cut a run short, feels bad.

The only running I'm doing lately is the travel to the gym which is a little over 1km, if I do that 4-5 times a week, can I still improve 5k time? Occasionally do some light jogging but nothing serious, I'm pushing the 1km's tho, trying to do it in 3min. Best 5k time now is a little under 18min.

I'm not really planning on eating literally while I'm running. For my run, I'll probably stop at 5-5.5 for a few minutes, refill water if I can, eat a granola bar, and then finish out.
I just got so fucked up from low blood sugar after my last 10 mile run. I was shaking pretty bad and just felt like I was going pass out. Had no interest in doing anything for the rest of the day. I eventually came to my senses after a granola bar, banana, gatorade, and some pizza. Ended up visiting my parents and family and had some tequila and beer lol

How do i get motivated to run
When i comes to lifting i always know i what i have to to today.
When i comes to running i don't care.
How to change.

my right knee has been hurting since i started running, why is this and can i fix it

Anyone else not move their arms when they run? Ever since starting this running has gotten so easy.

Just set a PB last night. Ran a solid 18km. May be not that good for here, but it's great for me.

On another note, any anons care to share some running tips that they've discovered on their own? I've found that if I match my breathing to when my right (or left, doesn't really matter) foot hits the ground, I get tired less quickly.

anyone run and also lift heavy? i want to start running because i liked to be able to. not really interested in sprinting just long slow distance.
would one a week be enough or twice?
if you lift heavy what do you do to maintain strength or still get stronger?

>>42394143
>How far have you run this week?

>Any new gear that you've been enjoying?
garmin 735xt has been useful, got it set to beep at me when my heart rate falls below zone and beep at me when i go above or below a certain pace. actually helps.

Shoes.
You need better shoes m8. Either more cushion, less tight, or something.

I had that feel too, but I was doing like 70mi/wk when I got those pains.

>>42397051
Think Half-Triathlon. It's a 700m swim, 20km cycle and a 5km run, but the distances for the one I'm doing are a bit retarded.. 400m swim, 24.2km cycle, and a 6.3km run, actually suits me because my swim is weak as fuck.

22 Miles / 36 Km
Should be 37 miles / 60 km at the ends of the day since it's big run day .

>>42399514
not moving your arms at all definitely makes you slower, but not moving them that much is fine for long runs.

How do you handle running in the winter?
I started running this summer and are worrying about how to go at it during winter. Problem is my throat starts to hurt much during physical activity when it's cold outside, how do you handle it?
Talking about real winter here with at least sub zero degree Celsius here, average temperature in my city during mid winter is around -8 degree Celsius.

>>42401744
If you can't stand the cold, go to a gym and run on a treadmill. It's boring as hell, but hey, all running is.

Anyone have some idea on how to avoid getting a side stitch when running? I'm on week 4 on this program and usually get a side stich at the second 3 minute run, so I have to stop and wait for it to pass or try endure it, neither is such good. I usually wait until 3-4 hours after I've eaten to run, but it obviously doesn't help so much.

What running app do you guys use? Nike running club seems to be super fucked up for me, it cant sync with my music and playing music before turning it on crashes it, it also randomly crashed at 1.5km

>>42394274
No one ever mentions this but do circuit training at the end of your lifts. So let's say you do something like 3x5 squats and bench press. Right after do a circuit with 2 or 3 movements. 4 to 6 sets with 8-15 reps. Keep it together though.

Example:
3x5 Low bar Squats
3x5 Bench press

Circuit (aka superset)

T-bar row- 4x10
Bicep curls- 4x10
DB skullcrushers- 4x10

How do I slow myself down enough to not injure myself?

Why I ask: Summer is cycling time for me, so I cut running way back.
Cardio fitness / aerobic ability / endurance etc. is there of course, because, yay, cycling, but in the last years I've had some problems with my Achilles tendon or knees not wanting to keep up with my running.

I'd love to run my first marathon this December (off-road, northern hemisphere). How do I not fuck this up?

Background etc.:
About 6000km of cycling this year so farj (all on road bike, no MTB), reduced run volume around April after my first half-marathon (1:31h).
Currently cycling about 200km / week, 1-2h running, varied, but mostly low, intensity.

Nigga don't risk it. Do some stretches if you're not sure and see how you feel. I personally wouldn't risk putting myself out for 3 month

>>42406521

>>42404981

>>42394143
Hey runbrehs, powerlifter here... I'm trying to cut a weight class into the 198lb category. Right now I am 230lbs at 18% bf. Normally, I'd just cut with my diet but holy fuck eating that few calories is miserable. So I am thinking running would be a great way to be able to significantly raise my daily TDEE to a level where I could eat an enjoyable volume of food. How do I go about increasing my endurance, in a non meme plan, that has realistic progression?

>>42406612
He does a lot of different runs during the day. Not just one/day.

>>42406538
Better shoes. Hard to say how long. A guy from work waited a whole week and just focused on stretches and felt fine afterwards. Everybody is different tho. But definitely invest in some new shoes, don't scrimp on your health/safety nigga

>>42406672

You'd have to ask him lol. It looks like he's had some "slower" months with a bit less activity but I'm not sure if he's running every day. Looks like he just does recovery runs instead of rest days, at least for the last few weeks.

>>42406682
Th-thanks lad

>>42406725
>>42406756
Ye, I do run every day. Basically, our coach's training philosophy is to do most of our mileage easy (6:40-7:00 pace), and then go hard on our two "workout days". A typical week (in Monday-Sunday order) is usually:
-Easy double
-Hard workout, then an easy recovery run
-Medium Long Run
-Easy double
-Hard Workout, then an easy recovery run
-Very short and easy single
-Long Run (usually closer to 6:00-6:20 pace)

So I've been seeing recently that most runs should be done at easy/slow pace. I've also heard a few times that I should't start Intervals/Fartlek/Tempo runs until I have built up the aerobic base to handle it.

So do easy runs actually make you faster? Even with no speed/hard sessions, will my average pace on easy runs increase as the weeks go on?

>>42406905
Don't sweat it lad, I've been running for a little over 8 years at this point, but it doesn't take that long by far to get to a comparable fitness level, just smart training. We're all gonna make it!

>>42407060
Yes, the longer you run, the fitter you'll be aerobically and thus you'll be able to handle faster paces easier and for longer periods of time. Getting a good mileage base is VERY important to getting fast. Then you get to start the fun stuff like tempos, fartleks, and intervals.

What do you all use to hold your phone and keys while you run for they don't bounce around? Been looking at the flipbelt, has anyone used one of those?

>>42407159
Thanks bro. I've averaged about 15-17 MPW during July. I'm aiming to run 25 miles a week comfortably by the end of August before starting the fun stuff.

One thing i'm unsure with though is the pacing on easy runs. I get that I should let my body naturally dictate my pace. Should I consciously try run faster, (even say 10 seconds per mile faster per week) or should I just keep it flowing naturally and the pace will increase without noticing?

>>42407263
Phone, arm strap. I hold my keys in my hand because the noise drives me crazy. Recently, I take only the one key I need and put it in the zip pocket on the ass of my shorts. Never notice it.

>>42407269
For the easy runs, just go off of feel, but make sure you aren't going TOO easy if you understand me. It should feel comfortable, but not too much so.

Does anyone have any recommendations for running shoes with good arch support?

What's a simple, long term sustainable running program for someone after C25K? I'm in the gym 6 days a week and looking for a plan to help me get to, like, a sub 35 minute 5 mile and be in great shape for basketball games and shit like that.

How do I run without snapping my shit up?

>>42409337
Just start out with short runs every other day, walk some if you have to. Slowly increase distance and try to not walk at all. Add more days of running if you want, and you'll get faster over time. Once you've got a good base built up, then you can add in stuff like intervals, fartleks, and tempos.

>>42409385
My conditioning is already pretty good.
I just always see runners talking about injuries.
Is there a good technique tutorial I should read/watch?

>>42409435
Some other people in this thread probably have some good pics or vids on the subject, but I'll just say that form is the usually the biggest factor in injuries; don't run on your heels if you can help it, midfoot is a lot better. Don't let your shoulders swing around, and try not to let your arms cross your body too much when they move. Also, don't clench your fists when you run. Your hands should be comfortably loose but not floppy.

>>42409492
>midfoot is a lot better.
So not on the balls of my feeT?

>Your hands should be comfortably loose but not floppy.
I always remember this because in middle school the gym teacher told us to pretend we were holding potato chips.

>>42409531
Actually, I do run on the balls of my feet as well. I just recommend people midfoot because people seem to like it more. Either of them work fine (and both are better than heel-striking) and are ultimately down to which is more comfortable to you.

fuck, done the first two weeks of c25k in these really cheap NBs and my hips are fucking killing me

>>42409531

getting a good strike is hard to describe, it just feels really natural once you do it though, on the balls of your feet isn't wrong but your calves will get sore real fast

i have a very specific pace where my footstrike is perfect, but if i lengthen or shorten my stride any more than that it feels like i'm braking (which is why i literally cannot run on treadmills)

you'll know it when you get it, keep your shoulders loose and just go at a pace that feels natural and comofortable

how long is an easy double ? 5 miles ?
and a medium / long ?

What is the hard workout day ? ( interval / tempo ? )

>>42395064
>3 miles/30 mins
This could also be contributing to your problem. If you're running slow enough that 3 miles takes you 30 minutes then your form and stride are possibly very articulated, "choppy"; there's a definite "up" and a definite "down" and a definite "hit the ground" before coming up again. This is impactful and rough on your joints.

You can improve your form in any number of ways but the best way to do it quickly is really just to run a little faster. This will smooth out your stride, which will often correct improper form, and will also cause you to adopt better form because better form is more comfortable, and indifferent universe knows that we all do anything during cardio to be just a little bit more comfortable. You sort of fall into better form by accident.

It'll generally come out to around 100 calories per mile at your most comfortable pace. As you get faster, you end up becoming more efficient and improving your running economy (less wasted motion in each stride) so you might actually wind up burning less calories per mile as you improve.

run slower, take deep breaths, and relax any tension you might have in your abs.

Length depends on how much mileage our coach is having us do that week (90 miles is my max). Basically, following the same Monday-Sunday schedule I described, we'll do a certain percentage of whatever our weekly mileage for that week is:
-13% (easy double)
-18% (hard workout day)
-16% (Medium Long Run)
-11% (easy double)
-18% (hard workout day)
-6% (easy single)
-18% (Long run)

For the moment, as it's still just summer, it's usually either a tempo, fartlek, or continuous hill sprint workout for the hard days, with maybe a few 200m or 300m repeats afterwards sometimes. Medium Long runs can range from 11-14.4, and Long runs can range from 12-16.2, though I've done a few 18 milers.

I'm starting a 10 week training prep for my first ever half-marathon tomorrow, wish me luck lads. Also, how good is swimming for cross-training? I'm a shit swimmer and would like to get better, could I swim twice a week and then only have one rest-day or would that be too much? (I've been running non-seriously for about a year 3k/5k runs 3-5 times a week, but accidently ran 10 miles the other day which is why I'm going for the half)

If I'm running on an outdoor track should I get track spikes or just regular running shoes?

I'm on week 4 of C25K and I feel like it's getting easier and easier.

shameless bump. please help

>>42408921
I thought stress fractures were from overuse

>>42408835
If you use your hand to put pressure on your shins, does it hurt all over, or is it just one specific spot?
If it seems to be one specific spot, you're either just sore, or it's the beginning of a stress fracture.
If it's all over your shin, it's more than likely just shin splints.

>How far have you run this week?
28 miles
>What are you working on?
Building my aerobic base to 30 miles per week.
>How was your last run?
Felt good man. 9 miles and comfy 7:30 pace.
>Any new gear that you've been enjoying?
Other than running shoes I don't have gear.

What is the strava app thing? I don't like the idea of.competing with people for weekly mileage or whatever goes on in there because I'm following a routine rather than just fucking around trying to run more than others without a plan.

>>42418609
It's not a competition lad, and pretty much all of us on there also follow plans. The leaderboard thing is literally built into the group function.

>When your gps watch dies halfway through your long run

end my life senpai

I'm not skinny fat just a skinny 19yo. I'm not in great shape, but I'm not in shit shape. I can run about 21 minute 5k, do 35 pushups, 50 if I go all out, and maybe 5-6 pullups.

Only problem is I'm pretty small and skinny and I want to gain weight. I like running, but I'm not sure if it's my thing since I want to put on kilos. Should I run and if so what distance ect. I'm thinking about swimming as well.

>>42420379
Running is fine. You just need to eat more.

>>42420611
How much do you recommend. I don't want to overdo it. I eat by far the most in my family and still am the skinniest. I guess I just have a super high metabolism.

>>42420652
Kinda hard to overdo nutrition and fitness, especially when it comes to lifting and such. I'd recommend doing bodyweight workouts (check out the bodyweightfitness subreddit) and just eat a bunch.

running a lot this week :D

So for all you long distance runners doing 10 + miles a day, how many calories on average do you eat a day?

>how far have you run this week
55mi
>what are you working on?
High School XC
>how was your last run?

I have been looking into this a lot lately. I think the primary causes are bad footwear, possibly over training too quickly, or the most likely cause which is heel striking (which can be caused by overstriding).

I've been getting bad shin splints so I'm experimenting with forefoot striking (gave me really sore calves, probably not a good idea), and midfoot striking (probably ideal solution).

Just be careful guys. Beginners you may not think that this has anything to do with this, but you don't know it probably does. Check yourself now before you shrek yourself. Otherwise you could kill your gains for 2-3 weeks trying to recover from shin splints.

Just keep it up and don't fall for the sprinter meme.

>>42404981
Is it true that they literally run you to the ground in college by maxing out your mileage?

>>42421422
It depends on your coach desu. So far (actually a freshman) I've been fine, actually only had a max week once this summer. I've heard from teammates that mileage does tend to climb and stay high as the season progresses. Still though, if your coach knows what he's doing, he'll be able to keep you on the edge without you falling off.

43km in the last week

Training for my first marathon in 9 weeks

Did a 7km recovery run today, it was great

Bought two pairs of skecher gorun 4s on sale and loving them

>>42408835
I would say its shin splints. Endurance is my recommendation. Just don't stop running, you will get used to it and it won't bother you again after 1-2 more times. If you have to walk, dont force yourself to keep on running, I know its frustrating, but take a day or two and try again. Stretching a good time after running is extremely advisable. Run slower in the beggining before increasing your speed. Getting a new pair of shoes could be an improvement too
