How was your run today /fit/?
It was good. I usually run a mile. Working my way up to two miles. How was yours?
>tfw your run is tomorrow
>tfw it's going to be around 1.5 hours long
>tfw your calves will be sore as fuck again
>>35200855
That's great man keep it up!
Mine was alright. I did 3 miles, trying to work my way back up to 7 miles.
>had a plan last night to run this morning
>excited because I've been too busy to run lately but finally I have some free time
>woke up at noon, pouring rain outside
>flaked out on my run
>guilt
I made up for it by going to the gym, but still... muh cardio
>>35200843
no run yesterday, did weights. supposed to run at 5:30am, cant fucking sleep!! wont be running until later in the day!

That woman needs to invest in a better sports bra.

what are some good home cardio excercises / no equipment??

>>35201075
I would say burpees would be a decent cardio workout, if you have enough room to do em
>but it'll never match that sweet runner's high
>>35201100
runners high happens like once a year if you are lucky. and it doesnt kick in until after 3 miles.
>>35200886
I usually save longer runs for the weekend or two hour long runs in the week. If I run daily I don't put in that many miles.
>>35201111
Nice quads, can tell you run a lot
>>35200971
Look at how disgustingly skinny the girl on the bikes legs are in comparison to her gigantic fucking waistline. She probably thinks she's healthy because she peddles that bike at 2kmh to work every day or some shit too.
The runners legs look strong as fuck. 8/10 would bnag
>>35200843
>run
why do that?
the current year is 2015
running is obsolete.
i can do burpees, mountain climbers, jumping lunges, squat hops, jumping jacks, and other aerobics in front of the TV, distracting me from my fatigue allowing myself to push myself farther than if i had no distraction...
plus you can shitpost in between sets of HIIT.
>>35200843
>tfw blisters on my feet from running.
Did 10km run yesterday in preparation of next weeks half marathon. My left shin kept hurting during my entire run and when I came home my left knee hurt. I'm scared of an injury considering next weeks race.
How to make sure not to get one but still keep raceready?
>>35201075
punching/kicking/knee/elbow drills are my favorite form of cardio
>>35202107
>burpees, mountain climbers, jumping lunges, squat hops, jumping jacks
running in place, high knees, jump rope...
literally anything.. jump around like a crackhead.
elevating your heart rate is super easy..

there are enough channels to find something watchable.
gigi does it is good. todd margaret is good. anything tim and eric touch is good.
most of ifc/adult swim/comedy central/science is watchable, imo.. some of it is even great.
>>35200843
Work ran late because the stupid cunts can't place an order so I missed my track session.
>>35200843

>>35200843
Fucking horrible. I'm fat fuck recovering and run 3xweek and lift the days i don't run. But it's getting too bloody cold to run, and i can only go for my run at 7 or 8 am, coldest hours right here.
What should i do brehs? Any tips of what to wear? What if I go the gym and do some faggy machines instead?
>>35202143
Anon it would have been best if you did a long run about 3 weeks before the race. Around 14-16 kms would suffice. Seeing as you havent done that i would advice you to do the fucking run. But dont expect it not to be hard as fuck
>>35202259
>What should i do brehs?
see
>>35202155
Cold. But I like running the cold more than I like running in hot weather, so it's ok.
There's something serene about running when it's snowing, dark outside and there are no people on the roads.
how should i implement cardio into my workout if i weight train 5 days a week? help gyss
Pretty good got my 3 mile time down to 12:45 so fuck yea.
>>35202476
Yes
Just started myself a new running routine spot. One on Sunday gone and another tonight. Shit is awesome, it's right along the bay.
I run for about 4.7km along the esplanade, do some bodyweight shit at the park, then run back home. Tonight was only my second run in months, but I managed the whole first 4.7km without stopping at fairly decent pace. Got my runners high tonight as well, shit felt fucking awesome. Saw some babes along the way running too. 10/10, will be keeping it up and moving from twice in a week to 5 times a week in about two weeks from now, then starting on timing myself for the distances as well.
Loving it. Now I just get gotta back to the gym as well.
I'm training to do my next marathon in 03:00:00 or under. I'm really struggling with the first eight km of my runs any tips brehs.
Its been hard to get to that sub 4:20 min/km im stuck at 4:33 for my long runs.
>>35202564
Setyourself goal points along your run. This might be every 500 metres, or maybe at certain landmarks that are X metres from the last landmark to. Do the math on knowing where you need to be at each certain point along the way in order to maintain the 4:20 average, as you get to those points.
Alternatively, just push yourself harder.
So I can run 10ks horrid time something like 1hour 10 mins never really trained for it too hard.But when I tried out to play football I had a hard time staying with all the guys and puffed alot during the second half of training.Is it since I didn't do interval training?I get my 10k time is shit but I thought since I could run 10ks meant something.
>>35202589
I'm running with a buddy that has a pace watch so we have the kilometer splits. We could hold a 4:18/4:19 as we increased the distance until 15km then after missing a couple long runs I can't stride out until km 8-9. It's just feels so different from the 03:30:00 goal we hit last season.
>>35202620
It's a different type of fatigue, the ten km endurance (at that pace) isn't comparable to the stop go of field sports. I can say that after playing rugby for years cutting your 10 km time to 50min should put you back near the training pack front. I also find that even stoping for traffic on runs messes with my 'vibe'.
run twice a week and lift 4 times a week. Trying to get into the habit of finishing off weigjts with a 10-20mjn cardio session. So far it's hot and cold, some workouts I'll hop on the bike and do it others I'll be absolutely drained and unable to.
Diet is consistent and it doesn't happen after a certain workout, anyone able to help me figure out why I find it so hard to hop on after weights?
>>35202675
>stopping for traffic
REEEEEEEEE
Nothing kills my momentum and vibe harder. I run exclusively on tracks and trails now because of it. Something about coming to a complete stand still makes it impossible to get going again even if it's early in the run. One stop is all I need to throw in the towel for some reason
I just did sprints for the first time since I've started lifting.
I thought I was gonna lift off, holy shit.
Thanks highbar squats
Got back to regular running after years yesterday. Although it was just 5.5km run (including uphills) I felt really good that I can still run. Nowhere close to where I was but better than nothing.
I ran on asphalt instead of running in the stadium so I am very sore today. Should I make a short run (on the track) or just take a walk today?
>>35202736
Short run. I always feel better on rest days with a light exercise.
Who /hype/ about getting new running shoes for Christmas? Gonna have them fresh feets
I think a mixture a poor form/broken running shoes really fucked up my right knee. I haven't been able to run more than a mile for 3 weeks now, it fucking sucks. Been biking pretty consistently to stay active, but that won't last once the roads start getting snowy/icy. WOuld go to the doctor and get an MRI or something but I'm in the middle of changing insurance and I don't want to make it any more complicated than I have to.

i just need to figure out a way to keep from cramping up on the last 2 miles cuz i was hurting. couldve broken 2:10 otherwise. im thinking pocket bananas

I run 15-20 km 3-4 times a week for over two years now and never experienced runner's high

Did 35 mins of jumprope, fuck running
Gonna run 5 kilometers today, aiming for 25 mins from start to finish. Going to participate in a 5k in the 16th, so I wanna see if I'm ready. Is there any problem in running 5k 5 days a week?
How do you deal with training 6 times per week and doing cardio? Thinking of doing it like this
Monday: Push
Tuesday: Pull + HIIT
Wed: Legs Light day: more volume, less strength
Thursday: Push + moderate intensity cardio
Friday: Pull
Saturday: Legs heavy
Sunday: LISS
>>35203571
Keep running, shin splints will go away after you strengthen your muscles behind the shins.
>>35205738
I do training every day, 7 days a week, and just do my cardio before weights. Easy.
>>35205414
There's no problem doing it, but if you're running 5k races it's not the best program to follow for a fast time.
Take 2 of those days and run 7-9k at a slower pace than your 5k.
>>35205956
What would be a good program for 5k running?
I really don't have any desire to race farther, though I realize I'll train farther. I'm at about 20min now and would like to focus solely on making that faster.
Thanks
>>35201075
Rope jumping. Its quite fun
>>35204419
how much weight do you ruck with?
Hey guys got a question.
By september my 5k time was 35 min, yesterday was 32. Any tips on how to shave off more minutes?
>>35206367
Start actually running.
Eat properly, lose some weight. How much do you weigh?
>>35206702
>Eat properly, lose some weight. How much do you weigh?
78k, but I should be at 74k. Working on that actually.
>>35206367
HIIT.
>>35206147
just 35 for timed events. i did one awhile back with fitty and came in at 2:37 but i had a stress fracture in my leg during that one.
>>35200843
Didn't run today, yesterday I ran 9.5k in 45 minutes, my calves ached today.
>>35206761
Shouldn't be that much of a problem. Try to pace yourself, 4-5 times a week. When you're nab, you can do that
>>35205956
Thank you friend, will attempt it.
>>35206896
>>35206798
Thanks for the advice guys.
>>35206860
You could be worse. It takes me a full hour to do 10k. Done it 3 times only. First was 1:10, then 1:05 and then 1 hour.
I love running, average distance being 7 mile, longest distance 10.5 miles.
I've calmed down on the running lately because of a problem in my right leg, I'm 99.9% sure it's the sciatic nerve.
any tips or exercise I can do to improve the pain.?
Also people that say running kills gains it dosnt, just eat more on the days you go running you imbeciles.
Anybody do sprints every morning? I'm thinking about doing 5 max effort 100m hill sprints every morning instead of my regular 3 miles
>>35206367
run faster
>>35200971
>not enjoying the fresh cold feeling from running in rain.
Man if you never had a hard workout or some struggle you would never know the feeling of an amazing workout where you felt great and everything was perfect, because you never had something to compare it to, now man up and put on a raincoat
Hey guys, I'm two weeks into Winter Cut 2016, and started running all around town. I've discovered that I usually have to quit after 3 or 4 miles not because my lungs are shitty, but because my calves and shins are actually in the worst pain ever. Will it always be like this?
>>35207883
running in the rain is the best, running at night in the rain is fucking sick.
>>35207981
no, just get some rest days in between .
I had shin splints really fucking bad not long ago.
I was determined not to let it stop me, Gabe my self some rest and I was fine after 2 weeks.
As for endurance just slow your running down a little put on some music and zone out.
>>35200886
Ice baths. Also eat and drink 30g protein 4 times per day body's only capable of absorbing ~30g per sitting.
>>35200971
Running in the rain's honestly one of the best experiences I've had in my life. I went for a swim, after, and oh man. Cold weather swimming >>>
Absolutely shitty. It's been getting shittier since I had to start running on a treadmill at night because of idiot drivers who don't know how to stay off the sidewalk while driving. I like running during the day when I have work off so I don't have to deal with those idiots at night. And I can't run on the trails now because they're closed since they don't want anyone on the trails when hunters are out in the wood since that one guy was shot and killed when he was mistaken for a deer even though hunting on the trail was illegal and the runner was wearing bright orange.
>>35208422
your stats are very simular to mine practically the same, hight / weight?
>6'3
>87 kilos
>>35208473
6'2"
150lbs/68kg
For your stats, that's not too bad. Keep up the decent work. You'll find you'll continue improving. Except in my case, nope due since treadmills suck and don't translate well to running outside. My running gains are falling fast. I might just say fuck it and risk drivers hitting me so it can hit the local news and have police actually start doing something.
>>35208422
>idiot drivers who don't know how to stay off the sidewalk while driving
where the fuck do you live that people routinely drive on the fucking sidewalk?
>>35208586
I know that feeling, I live in shit hole argentina and I can't run anywhere near busy roads because of dick head drivers .
is there no quiet areas you can run around?
>>35208595
Bumfuck city with bunch of old people that cops have no heart to pull them over and would rather them injure people instead of taking their licenses away.
>>35208702
As I mentioned in my post: there are trails. However, to say it again: hunter is fucking idiot, is hunting in a place where it's prohibited, shoots a runner wearing an orange vest, mistaking him for a deer, and runner ends up dying. Since then, trails are closed during hunting seasons. That won't be until January 10th. I can't wait.

STAY WITH ME /FIT/ I'M BOUT TO MAKE IT
I had a weird feeling in my right leg today that made it feel much longer than my left.
Anyone know what this could be?
>>35208746
Am I being trolled? No one in the world would willingly drive in the sidewalk, nor would any cop allow anyone, of any age, to drive there.
Do you mean the shoulder?
HIIT was great, thanks for asking
>>35208923
You'll be able to run an hour without getting tired in no time. Took me two and a half months to start from nothing to being able to run a half marathon.
Granted it took me 2 hours and 15 mintues but feel pretty good.
>>35200843
I had to run today instead of lift weights because my left forearm has been hurting pretty badly. It went ok.

Start at 9 km/h. Then, in a week, go to 9,5 Km/h. Next week, 10 Km/h. Next week, 10,5 km/h. Next week, 11 km/h. Do this.
Does anyone else found that their foot size shrunk when they started running? I went from a size 13.5US down to 11US. I'm not even a fat fuck. I haven't lost any weight from running. Seriously, how is this even possible?

Either
1) Bad running form
2) Bad running shoes
3) You are a pronator who doesn't have a set of shoes that fits pronators.
why do my calves start to get a pump after 8 mins of running? It forces me to stop
inb4 stretch meme
I just finished C25k last week and this week I managed to get to the point where I can run 5k without feeling like dying.
So my question is, should I jump right into training for 10k or focus on improving my 5k time? Just going for general endurance and fat loss. I'm planning to finish off the year running 5ks and then start my new plan next year. Any thoughts?
>>35211768
How much of a fatass were you when you started? I'm just leaving the couch behind and I can barely get through 15 minutes before I have to take a short break. Maybe I'm just not pacing myself well enough. Also killer on my shins and arches
>>35211790
Well I technically started in January and dropped from 230 to 200 just from c25k and the gym until I stopped in may. Then I slacked off until October and regained about 10 lbs because I'm a lazy fuck head. So from around mid October to now I've been fluctuating between 205-195 just cuz my diets been weird.
Don't push yourself too hard. When I first started Id take breaks when I felt too exhausted even if the plan didn't say to. If I did that I just considered it to be a "failed" day like I failed a rep in the gym. Then the next run I would repeat it instead of moving on. That helped my progression a lot. The hardest part is switching from the run-rest-run to running nonstop (week 6 or 7 i think?) Once you can get past the first one or two of those it gets a lot easier.
How's your running form? I've been forefoot striking from the beginning and think I've gotten shin splints once since I started. Running on dirt/turf is a lot easier on joints and knees too. I've been running on concrete more lately and the difference is very noticeable.
4 miles in 48 minutes
