What to do after Couch to 5k? My current 5k time is 30 minutes @ 6mph. Should I work on speed or start training for 10k if my goal is weight loss/general health?
>running
hahahaha hey everyone look at this faggot
>>35687868
Get the fuck out of here with your fucking cardio
>describing running speed in mph
>confirmed for never having run anything except your mouth
>>35687868
Once you can run 5k you can also do 10k, its more like a mental barrier, just dont stop running and you should be doing it by 55-65mnts, train for 13.1 instead op
>>35687868
Do sprints 3 times a week for training and then run a 5k on saturday.
Ex. Sprint 6 laps on a track with a 1-2 min break between laps. If sprinting 6 is too much at first then do 4 and work up to it.
>>35687868
Holy shit that terrible running form is giving me shin splints by looking at it
>>35687868
as somebody who went from slowpoke to dece runner through many years of cross country and track, start by getting comfortable with lots of miles and then work on speed.
>>35688141
I noticed this. After 12 minutes or so my brain/body just went sorta numb and the rest of the run got really easy.
>>35688332
Do you know of any plans to slowly build up miles like couch to 5k?
>>35688484
The same people made Bridge to 10k
Switch it up, one week go for distance, the next week go for time.
>>35688493
Alright thanks for the help Anon, I'll check it out.
>>35688113
Yeah because "fitness" is totally synonymous with bodybuilding and weight training.
I finished c25k, then did this:
>One long slow run per week.
I went for time, started at 30 minutes, added 5 minutes every week. Make sure to go at a slow pace, the point is to build the physical and mental endurance to just keep going. I'm at 80 minutes now and have not had a problems with progressing yet.
>2 interval runs
Multiple possibilities. 1/4 mile sprints as another anon suggested are good. I prefer to run trails than tracks so I do 60/120's and 30/60's instead.
>1 moderate pace run (optional)
2-3 miles, shoot for a decent pace but not necessarily a PR time.
>>35687868
Your 5k time sucks. Work on speed and when you reach a decent time, then go for longer distances if you want. I don't know anything about you, so you have to find out a decent target time for yourself.
>>35688118
She could be using a treadmill.
>>35687868
>>35688549
disgusting heel strikers
>>35687868
Just run a little farther every week and ignore the haters, they hate because they can't run, don't lift, and generally don't do shit -- except try to drag everyone else down to their level so they're not feeling like the irrelevant foreveralones that they know they are. Keep up the good work, OP, I used to be where you are.
>>35688100
>>35688113
Post your current body pics or STFU faggots
>>35687868
So does C25K work for most everyone? I weightlift, but my endurance sucks. I can run a mile in about 10-11 minutes,but I am winded afterwards so thinking of trying it.
6'2, 245 by the way if it makes a difference.
>>35689355
It's a perfectly reasonable beginners' running program, yes. I'd also recommend building your calves up too, specifically with 3-4 sets of 20-30 reps, to start building muscular endurance; calves are very important in running, I've discovered.
>>35689355
aerobic training will cause adaptations much like resistance training. It MAY help to lose some bulk but eventually you'll make type 1 muscle fiber adaptations with a progressive aerobic training regime (at the cost of gains)

Don't listen to this guy >>35689390
Just start running. It will improve your quality of life. On the long run ( above the age 50 ) you'll be gratefull to your current self that you started running.
Work on speed. If youre a guy, 10 minute miles are really slow.
>>35688141
This, once you break the 5km non stop barrier all other distances kind of become possible non stop, just with shit times.
>>35690119
How about 6-7 minute miles? I can't go any faster at the moment than 6. Pretty sad?
>>35690159
Nah, 6-7 minute miles are just fine. You should be working to improve it of course. But 8-10 is just really slow.
>>35687868
When I managed to run 5k, I could also run 15k. Just try it. You won't have great times or anything, but you'll be able to run without breaks.
Can someone please tell me what shoes I should buy?
I've asked in a few threads already but nobody will help me. I just want to keep my knees and ankles from exploding.
>>35691983
Technique and surface are probably more important than the type of shoe. That being said I use ASICS GEL-DS trainers.
>>35689352
Here I am faggot. Now don't fucking reply to me again unless you have something to contribute to this thread besides autism.
>>35691983
Shoes are very important. They really can make all the difference. There's of course the chance that you can order some random shoe that looks good to you online, and it's a good match, but it probably won't be. Go to an actual shop that has people working there that can help you. It tried on five different pairs of shoes before I found the pair I'm using atm. So do yourself the favour and go to a shop and talk to someone who knows his stuff. Otherwise you'll end up with shitty shoes.
10k now, don't let Eli down.
>>35687868
Definitely work on getting your 5K time to around 24 minutes.
>>35689355
it works for everyone. dont be afraid to repeat a day if you need too. as long as you are consistent, you will improve.
>>35687868
ONE HUNDRED PUSHUPS
ONE HUNDRED SITUPS
ONE HUNDRED SQUATS
THEN 10KM RUN
every single day.

Not if you're eating right.
