Posted this on /meg/, maybe a fitman can give his thoughts.

>been running 3x a week
>expecting to get a call for my contract any day now

>strained my LCL on an 18 mile run last week, can't do more than 5 miles before it starts to seize up and I have to walk it out

I've been doing my LCL stretches religiously and cautiously for the last few days, and they're helping a lot, but this is the worst possible time for my knees to suddenly get unreliable on me.

Are LCL strains normal? Should I stick to the elliptical until it's calmed down?

>>42769189
Yeah, it's strained. I would recommend getting it looked at first but you need to go slow on it, ice it after you run. walk on your off days to get blood working through it and keep stretching.

>>42769253
I showed it to a physical therapist friend of mine, that's the only reason I know it's an LCL sprain and what the correct stretches are. He only works with old people though, so he couldn't tell me how long I need to wait or if it'll ever get back to 100%.

Thanks though, taking it slow for a while seems like the right move.

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

Need more OP sticky.

Last night was a rest day. Tonight I am working. No run till long Friday run.

Low mileage week then.

I have pectus excavitum.

I've started running again last week and I get super tired and winded at a mile in.

also I have a big anterior pelvic tilt so it looks like im hunched forward when I run.

running distance sucks, getting back in shape sucks

>>42770137
What is this for?

Right now I'm to about 8 miles a week and average 8:30 minute miles.

Love fall and getting to run in hoodies. No more getting cock stabbed by car keys for me

A scholar and a gentleman.

I just went for my first run in years.

I've always been afraid of car bullies and I live in the middle of the country side where the roads have no footpaths and barely enough room for a car and half - so you can either run on the roads and dive into the ditch when a car comes by or run through the fields and potentially get shot. But today I found a little abandoned path, it was totally overgrown and the only buildings I saw were ruined houses.

It was great, the atmosphere was so nice. It was near the river so there was always the sound of running water. There was one part where it went right by the river-bank with the sky blotted out by leafy branches and you had to step over big roots.

I'm tired now but I enjoyed it.

picked pic related up a few months ago, really comfortable only downside is that i got a blister on my left foot the first few times i ran in them.
currently running 12 km a day, really want to run a half marathon a day.

>>42769170
My standard routine is 4 miles four days a week in conjunction with squat days. Some times I go harder but I'm recovering a shin splint from a summer of 60 lbs weight vest 5 mile hikes 3 days a week. Bad idea. I buy cheap shoes and use dr. Shoals athletic inserts.

>How many miles a week do you run
I try for 5-6 days out of the 7, this week is slacking due to work
>Avg time
Depends. I try to do 8km minimum, 5km if I am being a faggot and suffering. Long runs up to around 24km but I want to up that this week to compensate. Time is anything from around 40 minutes to over 2hours on the ground.

injury question for my fellow /run/ners:

>right side of my right leg near my knee has been bugging me for the past 2 weeks
i believe it was from squatting or jumping rope but i've taken time off of running to recover. could be meniscus strain. how did you deal with it? the last thing i want is a tear and to have to get surgery. i've been swimming and cycling in the meantime

pic unrelated

Just got back from a mandatory running lesson.
2k@140bpm
2k@160-170bpm
1k@+170bpm
1k timed 3:50 topping at 188bpm

I was pretty happy considering the fact that we used a pretty hilly and shitty trail for our run.

>>42777333

>>42778054
Back after 8 km. No pain in either knees, but they feel stiff as fucking rusting sockets.

>>42769170
> How many miles a week do you run
> Avg time
Just getting back into it after cycling was more important during the summer. 2x 1 hour per week atm, pace feels like it's around 5:30 / km.

> Shoes
Need new ones. Brooks Pure Flow, and falling apart.

> Favorite paths/routes
The more trail, the better. But I also run on pavement occasionally. Want to get back to doing one speed session on the track in a few weeks.

Questions to all you runners here:

1) I want to run a marathon in december (off road). Any training tips?

2) Advice on a running watch? I'd like to see where and how far I ran afterwards, how fast I'm going when I look at it, would like it to help with interval training (beep or vibrate or w/e at pre-set intervals) and it'd be great if it could also do cycling-related stuff.

how can i strengthen my knees?

been pretty inactive these past 4 years due to desk job and sitting on my ass 95% of the time

i run mon/wed/fri but get pain in my knees after

should i consider doing hourly walks daily to try and get my lower body used to actually moving?

I'm about 20lbs from my goal weight (BMI 20), how much time could I expect to shave off my mile pace just from losing the extra weight?

I'm sure I've heard a general rule of thumb before.

>>42780642
Are you overweight? Because running could be too hard on your knees if so.

>>42780800

im 5"11, 210 pounds 31 y/o male so a little bit but not massivley

I'm trying to start running but I have no running shoes. I have no money and just started a new job that won't pay me until the end of the month.

I do have an old pair of converse though. Is it safe to run in those until I get paid?

started jogging, realized that I've been doing it wrong for all these years.

Thought you were supposed to hit the stride on your front foot, which gave me pain in my shin and calf but I thought it was mainly due to weakness. Then I just tried hitting the stride on the middle of my foot, which didn't give me any pain at all, neither there or in my knees. Now I just have to deal with

>tfw no good running shoes

>tfw fat

Lunges squats glute bridges

>>42780911
No those have no support

>>42781333
Always land with your feet underneath you. Your feet in front of your body is acting like a brake and all that shock is not going to distribute through your body and mess up your legs, knees and etc.

>>42781468

I think I'm doing that, but I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm going on a jog.

>>42781590
Took me a while too get the hang of it. Battery died on my phone listening to music and heard my feet clomping.

I was concerned with time, but now just go to enjoy being outside. Same thing with my breathing. I would breath hard even though I'm not physically tired. I try to keep my breath even, 3-4 seconds in/out.

I dont know if it's the correct way to breath but it works for me.

>>42781468
I always have felt that sort of advice for newbies, "always land with your feet underneath you", isn't particularly useful. They start making too conscious of an effort to do it and they either end up making worse form mistakes or they hamper their speed. Unless you're planning on being a really serious runner, your form isn't really that important since you won't be running enough to get seriously injured. Even then it seems a lot of people don't pay much attention to form - haven't there been a few studies where they filmed people at various intervals of marathons and at the 8km mark 90% were heel striking and toward the end practically everyone was?

>>42781832
>at the 8km mark 90% were heel striking and toward the end practically everyone was?
For most people, their goal is just to complete a marathon to cross it off their bucket list. I would love to find that one statistic that around 36% of people who complete a marathon never run again.

>>42781832
The closer they get to mid foot striking the less chance of injury. For myself I always over strided like an idiot trying to go faster. Speed was my only concern.

Just start slow with a comfortable place. You can increase speed over time but if you run with wonky form it'll make it harder later on me thinks.

As in they never enter another event again, or just drop out of running (even just 90 minutes of light jogging a week) altogether? Because the latter's just sad.

There's a hill near where I live that I've been using for something vaguely approximating hill repeats:

>Maybe 8m change in elevation over 100m, run as fast as I can
>Walk down the other side, 160m
>Jog back to start of hill, 370m and repeat

Never ran for exercise in my life before. I used to go on long walks when I was in high school and I really loved it. I'm not athletic in the slightest but I want to get right.

I want to go on 30 minute runs every single morning. Obviously I'm going to work up to that but it's my goal. I want to start every day with purpose. This is realistic, right?

>>42785113
Read the sticky and try couch to 5K.

>This is realistic, right?
30 minutes of solid jogging? I don't think so.
I'm just starting out to and C25K recommends starting with a 20 minute mix of running and brisk walking which I struggled with.

Granted I've also been a heavy smoker for the past 2 years so maybe you would be able to jog for 30 minutes.

>>42785113
I helped my sister run and they weren't active. In two weeks they could do a mile and half with no problem.

Couch to 5K will help. You got this man.

You won't be a skinny fag, you'll be a lean fag. There's at least a little bit less shame in that. Honestly though, it's worth it. Lifting is a meme, running is a life changer. Besides, you can still do calisthenics and what not for lasting results. Do you wanna go Ricky piano mode or Bruce "whooped chuck Norris" Lee mode?

I've been doing the couch to 5k plan for a few weeks now. I want to start going and coming back from campus with my bike which is a 2x40 minutes bike ride. Would this hamper my running progress?

>>42785355
Lean looks best imo, but I know I'm an outlier in that

For the weightfags in this thread, how to enjoy lifting? I never get anything close to the endorphin rush I get from running

Is a six minute mile pace possible for any grill with training? Or does genetics get in the way for some? Barring disabilities obviously.

I can see myself being comfortable with 7 (at about 8 right now but have some weight to lose), but I think I've been handed a shit deck for running - proportionally short stubby legs, mild exercise asthma.

Biking improves running, remember that heart is a muscle that u use in both, also your vo2 is increasing as well.

I ride to work every day, make bike sprints instead of lunch, bike back home, go for a run

no harm done, remember what Piana says, if you sleep enough, eat well there is no such thing as overtraining. If needed take an icebath there and there.

>>42787230
>eat well
The problem is that i'm fasting every now and then. I'm trying to lose +- 1 kg a week and if I see i'm not going to make I just fast for 18 hours.

>>42769170
Made it through W4D1 of C25K. Went from running at a fairly nice pace to barely passing old people walking. Between the seasons changing, moving to a place with a nicer climate, and getting in shape, it should be all downhill from here. Feels pretty good senpai.

Always used to wear aasics patriots have now switched to new balance cant remember the names and numbers but mid price range light not much padding.
My cardio is mostly done on a bike but get 2-3miles twice a week with my dog. Do 7-10 milers sporadically no set plans.
use mostly chi running/ ultra style technique, my surroundings (medway towns uk) are very hilly.

What would be good is ideas for diet, amounts, intake, stuff.

You can't outrun the fork, but my poor diet is feeding in to my performance issues. I don't eat enough because I am afraid to put weight on and I never really "recover" from work or workouts.

>>42788351

I ended my c25k program at 35 minutes of running, ran for 35 minutes like 5 times then jumped to 48 minutes, did that like 4 times, then jumped to 60 minutes and that's where I'm at now. It's just about pushing yourself to go that extra length when you feel you're ready

>>42775795
>15 is the highest
Good lord, it's over 30 here and I can barely get 60% of my longest run. Not out of condition, just feel like collapsing in the humidity and heat, sweating doesn't cool you even a little

So I did 40 sprints of 40 yards within a period of an hour or so, sprinting and then walking back and sprinting again.

I haven't sprinted before this or ran much, just light jogging for 1-2km.

I am so fucking sore right now I can barely walk.

Was this retarded?

>>42784686
Not the same guy, but I'm too much of an autist to go to the gym. I'm afraid people are gonna make fun of me and call me a hungry skeleton or think I'm the gains goblin.

My girlfriend wants me to join her at the gym, but I'm like "no, just let me run in peace!".

Recently my feet have started to hurt, need to run less.

Life is suffering.

>>42788597
It does that. I tried short fast repeats and killed myself.

Do it now and again. Mix it up with slower, longer runs where you chill and mid-tempo shorter stuff which leave you puffed out but not dead.

>>42788680
I have done it last tuesday, I still have some calf soreness leftover, most of the thigh soreness is gone.

I'll try to do the same thing next week.
I've jogged a couple times since and it was very painful.

Do you think I'll be a lot less sore next time I try it? I really don't want it to be the same.
Should I do dynamic stretches for like 20 minutes prior and static after?

>>42788714
Don't know about the style of stretches, but do a slow warm up, then do your speed work, do a cool down, then stretches. Ice might help, it seems to be getting popular.

I dont have mich upper body muscles as I've never trained it. I did bike and play soccer a lot as a kid and got into running when I was 18. I'm 22 now.
I'm doing a water fast so only drinking water for at least 18 hours. I'm honestly considering of doing 4-6 days fast every few weeks because apparently it gets easier every day but I'll first talk about this with a doctor.

>>42787780
I don't give a crap about muscles. I want to lose the sneaky fat stores around the organs called visceral fat. Maybe afterwards i'll put up some muscles but in my opinion i'd prefer to go first DYEL and burn most fat in my body. If fasting will help me achieve that goal then so be it.

Best advice. I still do the same training I used to do which included calisthenics with variations, and single leg variations of lifts like shrimp squats and romanian deadlifts, and doing them for high reps.

>running before lifting
I actually cycle instead.

new runner here, i like to run in the morning but i don't know if it's better to run before or after breakfast, how do you guys do? i looked for information but everyone seems to have a different opinion based on different facts, what do?

>>42789113
The sticky says it's better to run after eating but I don't always.

>>42789113
Try both and see what works for you. For me, I have to eat two hours prior to running or I just cannot do well esp for speed drills.

>run every 3 days
>ran for 10 minutes at 8mph
>that was my best
>now every time I run I get tired out at 5 minutes in
>haven't been able to run for 11 mins and that's all I need to do

Obviously my frequency isn't enough

Should I run every day or every other day?

Which is least likely to burn me out?

My fitness exams are in a month and running has always been a huge weakness of mine.
((I am not going for a combat role, I'm doing engineering btw))

downhill in terms of ease, brains.

i started running 1 week ago and i feel some tingles on my ankles and foot, should i be worried? what could it be?

How much do you feel it in your glutes when running?

If I run normally without adjusting my technique whatsoever I land pretty narrowly with my feet and feel nothing in my glutes.

But if I force myself to run a bit wider I can feel some activation in them, but I'm unsure if it's wise on a technical and injury-standpoint.

>>42789239
I dunno how fast you need to be, but slow down a bit to an 8:30 (around 7.5mph?) pace and I bet you can run for much longer.
Your aerobic capacity will improve as you practice, and I don't see any downside to running everyday provided you don't push yourself to the point of injury.
I'd recommend doing some HIIT too.

>>42790795
I need to run a 2.4k in 11 minutes, which is actually a 8.2mph pace, but I guess I'll worry about that on the day.

I know what you're saying. I could run at 6mph for 20 minutes but 8mph really takes a toll.

If I run a 2.4k every day do you think I'll over do it? Or perhaps run it every other day?

>>42790850
>If I run a 2.4k every day do you think I'll over do it?
Nah, 2.4k isn't very far. You'll be fine, just do it and you'll be better before you know it.
Have you tried doing sprint intervals instead of just a straight run? If you don't get much enjoyment out of just running a couple of miles, this is a good alternative and it'll still help you improve your longer distance times.

>>42791247
I haven't tried it because I don't really know how to.
I just started running 6 months ago and kept trying to push my time, but its really hard

>tfw smoke has been at very unhealthy to hazardous levels for the last 3 weeks with no end in sight

Ran the fastest I've ever run last night. Made a 3 mile in 22.5 mins. That blows my 30 min 2.25 mile time out the water. Been running for 3 or so months and it felt amazing to do that.

Shit nigger that ain't going to do you no good. All fasting will do is make you feel like shit and you will yo-yo.

My weight came off after I dropped any sugar, breads, pasta, butter and fat and dairy, most potato and rice. I would have "some" but not a lot, the rest was filling up on veg and lean meat.

>88-85, hmmm this is working
>85-80, holy shit I'm doing it
>80-75 all my what
>75-70 screw you guys!

And so on. Currently 62kg. Ish. But my carbohydrate intake and calorie intake have upped because I run now. I didn't run then.

Use the food as fuel, that is all it is treat it as such.

I used to run pretty frequently, but for the past 7 months I've been a weightfag with very little cardio.
It's hard to say as someone who's always been skinny. When weightlifting, the results are a-lot more visible even after a short amount of time for skinnyfags like me.
It really isn't the same with running. If I'm running, I'm still skinny with the most visible results being my lower body.
Also something about hitting a PR with heavy weights seems more exciting than going a mile further or making a better time imo.

>>42769170
I just started running a couple weeks ago. I've always avoided it because I was really bad as a child (like I would legitimately pass out after doing a mile run in PE) but I decided to try it again. This week so far I've done 2.5 miles four times. Trying to work up to a 5k.

Honestly it's been easier than I expected, though I do a lot of hiking so I guess my aerobic health isn't so so terrible.

Any advice for a /runlet/ fit?

Please stop spreading retardation

I do around 50km a week.
usually split in to ~17k across the week. So 31 miles split across 10 mile runs

I'm slow 5:00 per km. witch is like 8 min per mile?

Asics

I run a riverside trail. Sometimes in the summer when its too hod to tun during the day I run at night through the city streets. Get a lot of strange looks running thought the streets at like 3 in the morning. On the brights side i get to see a lot of crime as its happening. And on occasion get felt up by QT police officer girls.

Carbohydrates are not bad. We all know that. What I am saying is that I lost weight by restricting calorie dense foods which included fats, flour, pastas, breads.
Shorthand way of saying it: I cut back my carbohydrates (and other stuff).

>cardio now increases
>carbohydrate increases

And I have watched stupid family members go on fad diets that restrict calorie intake in the form of restricting fats, carbohydrates, a bit of fasting, "red days, "green days", a shake for breakfast (rather than address food and lifestyle choices).

It's bollocks.

And these dumb family members have bounced up and down between reasonably healthy weights to over-weight to obese. Why? Because the course of action they have taken is not sustainable. Much like the course of action fasting fasting-faggot is suggesting.

>>42795422
You're just spreading the "cut carbs" meme.

Cut out all animal products and all processed food, go high carb, and it will be impossible not to lose weight.

Fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, rice, potatoes, and minimally processed foods like ezekiel bread, hummus, tofu, nut butters etc.

>>42796137
Protein requirements are highly exaggerated. If you're eating enough calories you're getting enough protein. There are pretty big vegan bodybuilders bulking on 100g of protein.

I like to do shorter runs more often. After spending 8 hours in front of a computer it's essential for my mind and fitness.

its a perfectly normal max heart rate at your age. the whole point of HIIT is that you completely empty yourself every interval, right? im not familiar with it, but if thats true its not strange youre close to your max. wouldnt recommend that kind of training to somebody who isnt already somewhat fit though

>>42799657
Yeah I don't feel bad after it (feel really good actually), and I seem to recover easily compared to when I was new to running. Just surprised to see it that high.

It's just hard to know what's a "safe" amount to push yourself - I think what I'm doing now is fine, but I feel I could go on for longer except I'm scared of fainting like an idiot or something.

Just completed a 17 mile run, my longest to date. Felt like I was going to shit my pants for the last 7 miles.

What was your previous highest distance?

Agreed to do some running with my friend who's in the Army today. Ran about 10k across road, then country lanes and tracks. Pushed me to run up and this hill over and over til I wanted to die. Got back, feel fucking great and more motivated than ever. Hadn't run anything longer than 3.5k in a long while.

Need some new shoes soon though.

Do you like your knees, friend?

>>42800642
What particular running shoe you happen to use really doesn't make any difference. You're just being pretentious if you try to make out that it does.

I went for a run today and when I finished the back of my shoulders was really tired and sore.

Is this supposed to happen? What's happening there?

>>42800732
Not saying that bro but if you run 15km a week for two years you've done 1560km which is about double you can expect from shoes like that

>>42800747
Try to relax your shoulders and traps while running, shake out your arms every once in a while. A lot of people are running with their shoulders all tensed up.

>>42800770
Yeah fair enough if that's what you meant but I don't see how having cheap running shoes would affect your knees

If you're at an elite/competition level coaching is probably necessary, but I don't get why things like c5k are needed. Isn't it better to make your own plan as you go, tailored to your own needs and abilities?

Not sure how many miles I run per week.

Last clocked time was 3.25mi at 24min in a triathlon sprint (good enough for 19th fastest run time).

Pic related. Altra has some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.

I am primarily a trail runner, but will road run during races. The trails near me are sand and it is absolute bliss for my joints.

Looking to get into mountain running.

Any mountain runners here?

>>42784974
I use trail running shows with absolutely no support and I'm fine, just don't run on hard surfaces without support.

>>42804175
Why? I wear minimalist shoes once a week and it has not caused any problems when running on pavement and concrete.

>signs says no pets
>bring your annoying dog anyway in the middle of Saturday afternoon when everyone is there

>>42804840
Because it's harder on your feet, that's it.
Running shoes are made not just for speed but for taking some of the force when you hit the ground, protecting your knees and shit.
Using minimalist shoes on hard surfaces wear there lifespan and your body, you might not be overly affected by doing it as little as once a week but it's better to have shoes suited for their purpose.

>How many miles a week do you run
About 20 right now in 3 runs. In a few weeks I'll switch to one 60-120 minute run a week and add in a weekly hill sprint workout and a weekly 600m repeat sprint workout

>Avg time
About 9:00 minutes/ mile. I read that for general fitness it is better to keep your bpm low during long runs and only add intensity during HIIT workouts.

>Shoes
Some nikes I got on sale for $60.

>Favorite paths/routes
Down by the river. I have an area that is flat that I run back and forth on till I hit my time goal. It is nice and not too crowded.

I was diagnosed with this when I was a kid, but I figured it was some made up bullshit.

A few months ago, I decided to start running, and I could barely go half a mile at a moderate pace before feeling like I was going to die. But I kept at it, and now I can run a 5k in under half an hour and a 6 minute mile. I think exercise induced asthma is bullshit. I think we just need to exercise more, bro.

How do I actually improve cardio, beyond just 'keep doing it'?

I started running home, 2 miles, 3 times a week, for the past month or so. I was intending to work out a 5k route once I get used to it, but I don't feel like I'm improving much - muscles maybe, but no real cardio improvement.

Do I need to do more distance? Push to run faster than I'm comfortable with, eg. interval training?

How dangerous is ebay?
I see Pegasus 34s being sold at half the price, the seller's feedback is almost 100% and it's public so you can see the reviews.
Still sketchy due to the price.

>>42806060
Add more distance first. If you have a hard time, continue to do the run/walk/run thing c25k has you doing. After you add more distance (I usually say 5-6 miles non-stop), then do not only intervals, but tempos as well. At the beginning, you'll want to only do one speed drill a week. Alternate one week doing tempos, then the next intervals.

Stopped me all protocol like, asked for documentation, asked why I was running shirtless in a walking zone at night, told me they'll let me of the hook this time, but next time they'll do a full cavity search for drugs. we kinda laughed it off. Nothing special. I think one of them might live in my neighborhood

Shoes are designed to absorb impact, protecting your body.
Bad shoes are obviously not as well designed for this function.
Do what you want, a lot of 40 year olds who've run all their life usually have bad knees because they fell for the "shoes don't matter" meme.

If I want to improve my 5k time should I run 5ks each run or should I run longer distances ?

>>42807797
There are multiple ways to train, using speedwork, long runs, intervals, etc. If you want to try a short vanilla plan then check out Higdon's Advanced 5k. It's free on his site and only lasts 8 weeks. It uses tempo, intervals, moderate short runs, and a slow long run.

I don't run, but I figure this is the best place to learn about carbs.
If I want do small carb loads 2-4 hours out from my workouts should I be eating mostly foods that are high on the Glycemic Index? Also is there any risk to using glucose tablets as a supplement?

Gonna be a retard today and run 2.5 km x 10 with 40 minutes rest between each 2.5 km.

In my infinite wisdom I concluded that my technique breaks down vastly after 3-4 km of running because I have weak ass glutes, hamstrings and core-muscles and that increase the risks of injury.

Thus running 2.5 km I can maintain proper technique throughout the run.

How do you make running not boring? A month ago I finished c25k and ever since been running 5kmx3 every week. My problem is it's so fucking boring. I've tried listening to stuff as I run but still doesn't help.

>>42810151
How slow are you running?

If you're running fast you need to focus on technique, breathing, your surroundings and getting back alive which should make it not boring.

Run somewhere else.

Really. Change of scenery.

Up the pace, change the duration. Go with someone else. Focus on your form. I used to think it was boring, but now I go to get some fucking peace and quiet and to be alone.

Either that or use the time for deep self analysis both mental and physical.

Get reduction surgery if they bother you that much. I've always exercised (not necessarily run, I just picked it up several years ago being bored of both cycling and swimming) and I think that maybe part why I have small breasts. My sister and mom are in the D-cup range but they don't exercise at all. Infact, both are lazy chain-smokers who constantly advise me that I have an eating disorder despite that I consume more yet keep a healthy weight. They are the ones on cholestorol and blood pressure meds whereas I am on none. It's funny how denial works. My brother and dad laugh at them so much behind their backs.

>>42810470
>I am a fatty so not so fast. I do 5km in 35m.

Then use it as motivation knowing that the faster you run, the faster you perceive time.

When I'm doing my 7 km slow-run on off-days just to stretch my legs is absolute death because I'm going so slow, but when I'm doing near my max speed time literally flies.

What's wrong with running shirtless?

~9 miles a week
My fastest for a practice was 23:01 and for a 5k was 22:47.
Brooks Launch
I have several paths around the lakes nearby and a cemetery with good incline stuff.

>>42811285
You look like a tryhard douchebag. Everyone, with two exceptions, who I knew who ran shirtless were vain attentionwhores and were slow as fuck. Those two did so because they have hyperhidrosis really bad and was way more practical. Shirtless douches say that same shit, but everyone knows it's a fucking excuse to be attentionwhores.

>>42811338
>caring what people think

WEW. If he wants to run shirtless let him. Who gives a damn what you or anyone else thinks?

As a guy running shirtless sucks anyway. The sweat rolls down your chest instead of being absorbed by the shirt.

Might want to learn a bit about identifying emotions. We are laughing about it, not getting angry. The one who is angry is you for being called out.

You keep calling them douches, even though they're doing nothing wrong. Sounds like you're projecting and are jealous.

>>42811495
>they're doing nothing wrong
Depending on view point. The two people I know who do it for practical reasons have to do so or they'll face bad chaffing even with shirts or singlets made with tech fibers.

What exactly am I projecting?

Here, the people who run shirtless are usually crossfit fags, so by definition attention whores.

>>42811953

Start running three times a week and lift heavy twice a week, skeleton.

You didn't burn that amount and if you have the capacity to focus on watching cartoons rather than blanking out you're not doing it at the right intensity.

Just got back from my Sunday run (my one "long" run a week).

I did 6.2 miles in 40 minutes flat. I was dead by the time I got back.

How do I pace myself better? Whenever I run longer distances I just run what feels good and I did that today but the second half was really hard. My average pace was 6 min 33 s, but the second half I slowed down significantly, the first half had to be close to or under 6 min miles. Guess I need to work on pace.

>>42812602
you kind of answered your own question there, pacing for distances just kind of requires you to be accustomed to that distance, which means running at that distance more

Anyone got any running infograph guides to share?

You mean c25k?

Thinking about alternating my long runs every other week, going 20+ km nice and slow one week, and about 15 or so close to race pace the other. Sounds reasonable? Half-marathons are my goal races by the way.

Ran 29 miles last week. Managed to make it 12 in one shot. Trying to run away from the feels my guys. At least girls at taco place assaulted me and touched my body and hair only for me to reject them out of pure rage.

i made it the whole way but FUCK for someone who's been lifting for years this has really hit me hard. i didn't know i was so out of shape. when does this shit start to get easier?

also:
-things to eat post run?
-how 2 stretch post run?

>>42819421
are you obese?

>>42819785
no, but a little overweight due to my bulk. 5'9 180

i literally never do cardio. i thought i should change that

>>42819834

So you did this:

5 min walk
2 min jog
5 min walk

and you're dying?

That's pretty bad desu senpai. I would expect even an old lady to do that no problem. When I started running I was doing 2 miles in 14 minutes and I didn't have any kind of athletic background besides some lifting. Was a bit lighter than you though.

Try doing ankle circles to warm-up if your ankles bother you. Other than that just keep at it. Assuming you're a healthy young man you should make very rapid progress if you're that out of shape.

Cardio is an essential part of being fit. Plus it makes you good at plowing chicks.

>>42819916
it's like i said i did no cardio at all with my lifting. the big reason why i wanted to start running over anything is because of how quickly you can build your stamina over easier cardio. i feel like i was getting winded doing regular lifts once i hit a certain weight on them all. i want to get better and i think training stamina will help big time.

one step at a time, but 9 weeks ain't too bad provided progress never halts.

>>42819421
>things to eat post run?
Nothing special until you start going longer. Just work through the C25k bit by bit. Keep your fluids up, stretch calves, glutes, hams etc, google around for that there are vids. WORTH it because otherwise you will curl up and die.

>>42769170
how do I into running /fit/? fat fuck here, wanna up my stamina but after 5 minutes im totally done for. halp

>>42821250
height? Weight? Shoes?

TL;DR look at C25k. Go easy with it if starting. IF you like it after a couple of times out (you feel it is something you can into) get fitted for shoes.

At a shop that does that fitting shit. Sport place.

Take it easy, up the miles a bit, watch your form, youtube videos are good, get into it and enjoy it.
