So I want to work on my lung capacity and running ability for a couple reasons, I wanna increase and maintain my lung capacity/strength and beat back asthma a bit, and prove to myself that I could meet and exceed at least the aerobic standards of the Air Force's PFT.
I was thinking of running my way to these standards, but i don't wanna mess up my knees long term since i don't plan on ramping down. I'm thinking most of the cardio is done with cycling on bike or stationary, and elliptical, and i do a mile or two a week, gradually increasing distance to condition muscles involved in running? Would that work?
these are the standards btw
if you run wrong, you WILL fuck your knees, hips or some other random shit.
Spend time working on form. That means at LEAST 10 minutes of planks every day, while you think about how your form is shit, and you should not run or you will fuck up your knees.
That means doing high knees, butt kicks, and mileage increases earned - which means measured and planned.
if you want to run better, run more. Would you rather worry about your knees, or be able to run the hardrock 100?
Buy an incentive spirometer. Just use that every day ontop of working out.
