So how's your cardio going, /fit/?
You ARE doing cardio, right?
>>37070924
why do they look so clean, no man has a face that clear unless they put on makeup or they're asian
It's going good. Soon my cut is finished and I'll switch one cardio session for a Yoga one.
>>37070924
Enjoy your bleeding nippers, shin splints, massive calves and destroyed knees by 40 cardio bunnies.

no, it just pisses me of how everybody is so fucking clean like there's not a spec of dust on their clothes
>>37070924
Fine. I do 2x a week when bulking and 4x when I'm cutting.

>massive calves
>a bad thing
I'm actually predisposed to small inner calves. I can gain on the outside of my leg but the inside hardly change.
>>37070924
Ran a 6:19 mile last week.
Feelsfuckinggoodma.edu
>>37070995
The inside is the biggest part.
>>37070924
Just started, going to do it 2 times a week
>>37070944
This. So many people go running without even clue about technique or joint health.
>>37071030
Not for me it ain't
I run 4,4 km every day im not lifting (4 days/week)
Just doing it for calorie expendature really so i can eat more because cutting.
I can do it in like 21 minutes now.
>>37070924
>You ARE doing cardio, right?
I lift and push the prowler. long slow distance cardio is for fags and also completely unnecessary for most people
>>37070924
Heavy compounds raise my heart rate and blood pressure for my hour workouts four times a week.
Cardio is pointless.
>>37070924
Going well. Swimming and running here.
I hate running though, so I only do it one a week.
>>37070924
You do know your heart beats faster if you push yourself at the gym, right?
The only way I'll ever do "cardio" is if I live by the ocean.
>>37070924
i developed tendonitis at shins about 2 years ago when i was running on inclined treadmil, they never healed, now i cant run more than 5 mins without shins getting swolen and hard as rocks
the meme is true, cardio kills gains
Conditioning is a sham:
https://www.t-nation.com/training/conditioning-is-a-sham
>>37071084
My heart rate and blood pressure are through the roof 24/7 bro.
Do you even salt your food? No exercise needed, so I'm in top condition all the time.
>>37070924
Almost all the routes I used since fucking highschool are cramped with some fucking faggots and bitches who run just because it became hip.
Only one remained untouched, just because it looks kind of like pic related, and no one beside me knows safe passages.
>>37071114
Shin splints...that's not tendonitis, it's the bone. stress fracture maybe. Get an xray and then MRI. If you wanted to heal it you could've in a month or two but you're just lazy as fuck
I do 20 mins on whenever machine is available, 3 times a week. Im previously a runner and do 15km everyday and that was the worst part of my life
this week i began my new routine, 30-40 mins of hiking 3 times a week on rest days, nice fun cardio and easier on the joints, seriously fuck running, it fucked up my knees, i see people here running 5 or 7 miles a day and i just think i'd die.
I'm 120 lbs, of course I don't do fucking cardio.
>>37071167
i know what shin splints are. ive taken an MRI scan on shins, bones and muscles are all good. i can walk for long times with no pain, but power walking or running swell the shins so bad its impossible to walk without resting. i havent done proper cardio in 1-2 years, just went to gym and back, they cant seem to heal. even took 2 weeks break for gym.
>>37071187
from* gym
also >>37071167
what do u mean im lazy as fuck?
>>37070924
At it for 12 days, starting from couch.
Went from 2k wheezing and puffing at 6:30/km to 4k feeling ok at 5:40/km so far.
Still hate running but gotta get rid of 6-7kg.
>>37071215
>Still hate running but gotta get rid of 6-7kg.
you know your running isn't really doing shit for your weight loss, right? it's just a few hundred calories per workout, roughly equivalent to a small snack. you should lift instead, it provides more benefits.
>>37070924
Pretty good. Just heading out for a run in fact.
It's a little frustrating because I'm at this weird place where my CV system can handle more volume than my legs atm, but I'm patiently building.

>>37070944
why do people get so butthurt on this board when people bring up cardio?
>NOOOO CARDIO IT KILLS MAH GAINS AND GIVES U SHIN SPLINTZ!!!
i've been running everyday after lifting for the past 3 months (3+ miles a day, 100+ miles a month). boxers run way more than this and are fine.
cardio is the best thing to ever happen to me. it's honestly like therapy and relaxes my mind completely and helps me focus on improving my life. ever since i've started doing cardio my focus on self-improvement has sky rocketed. 3.9 gpa, been sending out resumes like crazy, got an internship lined up for the summer, social gains off the wall, gains are coming in better than ever.
you retards need to stop thinking cardio is used just as a "gains goblin" and embrace the mental gains you can gain from it.
>>37071146
>some fucking faggots and bitches who run just because it became hip
because you're on /fit/, i assume you're not running for the love of it either. what makes you think you're any better than them?
Only just started doing cardio again so starting slow.
Starting by running 1.2 miles every day after gym, then after a week upping it to 1.5, then after a week upping it again, and so forth.
>>37070944
>Enjoy your bleeding nippers, shin splints, massive calves and destroyed knees by 40 cardio bunnies.
OP said cardio, retard, i.e. Swimming, cycling, sprinting. Not long distance marathon running, which is virtually the only way these problems can arise (provided that you aren't 100 pounds overweight).
Absymal
>>37071826
Because most people here dont seek health, more of like decreasing body fat to dangerous levels and gaining mass.
>>37071133
Underrated kek
i want to do LISS cardio and get ripped but i also like seeing my lifts go up
2x weekly prowler sprints and hour long walks outside it is then
>>37070924
i played football yesterday and rekt my knee tendons. Knee is still swollen today and i cant walk on it properly. I'm taking this as a sign that cardio isnt for me
Cardio is literal torture
About 30 minutes on the elliptical every couple of days.
>>37070933
bruh the guy is far from the camera, you wouldn't be able to see any imperfections from that distance
idiot
Retards crying about knee pain during cardio
They don't realize there's other forms of cardio like swimming, circuits, etc?
I only do it cause I want to get cut faster
but fuck running, just some steady state cardio after I lift or on rest days. running on a treadmill is shit, I can only do that outdoors.
>>37070924
I run 10k in 44 minutes twice a week and a 5k in 20 once a week.
Besides that I warm up for 10 minutes on the arc trainer before weights and I wall my dog.
Plenty of cardio.
>>37070924
fun as fuark. My cardio is basketball and badminton
>>37070924
Week 2 of couch to 5k and it's going pretty smoothly. Here's hoping that if I keep it up I'll be able to do a 15k obstacle course in December

I fucking hate long distance running. I quite enjoy running up to 2km, but anything above that is fucking bullshit. My feet start hurting after a while, my thighs get chafed because legs stay together when I keep slower pace and I get bored as fuck.
How do I learn to like running?

But seriously though. Try running a minimum of 1 mile a day for one month, and you will be amazed how much your endurance is improved. That cardiovascular improvement carries over to every other aspect of working out.

I cardio twice a day every day just because I have a pt test next Wednesday that's a 3 miles run and pullups. After that itshit 6 months of gains again until the fall fitness test

Lol why is she half naked
>>37075389
MUHREEEEENZ
>>37070924
It's been going amazing actually! I found this guy on youtube who posts these hiit workouts that you can do on an elliptical that only last a few minutes but burn a shit ton of calories during and after the workout. All you do is download the videos and listen to them while doing cardio. I highly recommend those of you cutting to do this instead of those long ass cardio routines. Do it at the end of your workouts each day and you'll melt off fat.
Here's the one I've been doing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wi6kARs7Us
>>37070924
is walking for an hour and doing shopping and then walking back home with shoppings in hands considered cardio? Bc I did a 3 hour cardio session then. Then drank a litre of goat milk
>>37070924
I work for Canada Post as a letter carrier. My job literally has me walking about 18km per day.
Going well
Just finished a 3km run (prefer intensity over endurance so ran it in 12 minutes in a hilly area)
Lift every second day and run in between those days
>>37074088
I run a 49 second 400
Only lost 1.5 seconds since grade 12 ended and I prioritised study
Step up
Just started running again after years of not. Could do 4k in 18 mins when i was 14, now i struggle with 0.5 in 8 mins. Been running tue thu sat. Anyone know how long ot will take for stamina to come back?
>>37070924
Doing some cardio at least 3 times a week now, used to not. Green text!
>Work schedule changes, going into gym pre-work instead of post work

We are dating now, that story was about 3 months ago, but I still do cardio 3 times a week now. I felt like shit not being able to catch a girl.
Bad very very bad. I get out of breath and sweaty going up 5 flights of stairs. I need to step up cardio asap.

>>37070924
Aye you gotta do cardio man. Cardio is underrated on /fit/.
>>37077246
You doing any kind of tempo of VO2max work?
started running a bit
knees got painful just after a few shortish runs, still troubling me after a few weeks
>>37077282
Yeah, I'll probably start tempo and interval exercises in late August/early September
>>37077292
What is your current fitness like? That's a long stretch of training with just base miles, especially for 8k.
>>37077405
Current fitness is subpar for my usual. Probably average around 15 mi a week now but I'm going to start to pick it up soon. I need a lot of base training. Most of my 8ks are set in mountainous areas so I need a lot of cardio and strength training so I need to start early to peak in November
>>37070944
You only get fucking shin splints if your arches are weak, right?
I want my own fucking pool so I can start up swimming again
Fucking local pool is always shut down for lengthy periods of time
Recently taken up running 3 times a week, doing between 1.5 - 2.5 miles at a time, sometimes I'll run a mile at the beginning as a warm up too (with about a 20 minute walk inbetween).
My stamina doesn't seem to have improved that much, it doesn't feel much easier than it did at the beginning. Did 1.5 miles in just under 10 minutes today but I was panting afterwards. Dunno whether I need to up my game - at what point did the beginners here notice an improvement in stamina?
>>37071284
What the fuck are you talking about you mongoloid
>quints get
>>37076388
Wtf kinda weird shilling is this?
>>37070924
I grapple 4hrs/week, good interval cardio and not a boring one. Be ready for some small injuries though.
>>37077574
Due to aids amirite ma negra?
>>37077538
Sudden overtraining can cause it too, but yeah
>>37071052
You're doing it wrong, sped.
>>37077537
You should be mixing in a little tempo, even if it's just 20 minutes or so of slightly harder effort, so your body can handle the harder training when you start in on it.
>>37071187
Compartment syndrome.
How do you train explosivity (don't know if it's the right term).
I can run long distances but I played a football game last week and fuck, after 10 minutes, my chest hurted like hell.
I need some cardio exercice that'll help get trough intense activity during a few minutes.
>>37077844
I probably will. Also, I want to change my long run pace. Normally I've run at a 7:30 pace for long runs but some friends of mine suggested dropping it down to 6:50-7:00. That way when you build to high mileage, you're used to the quicker pace
>>37071187
You have chronic exertion all compartment syndrome like me, surprised it wasn't picked up with an MRI. I will be having surgery on it at some point you may need the same otherwise stretch, foam roll, and RICE if you still want to do cardio.
Someone close to my neighborhood posted this up on Craigslist for free in basically brand new condition so I scooped it up. Thing costs around 300-400 brand new. No idea why someone would just give this shit away but fuck it. Did I do good? Trying to figure out how to train for checking for those quad gainz and weight loss. Any good guides for getting good at these things?
Pic related, exact one I got.
>>37071114
Do you stretch or anything ? If they are hard as rocks etc try foam rolling and sports massage, also you could be wearing not necessarily the wrong footwear but may be not supportive for your specific gait. Also take calcium supplements and other things to strengthen/encourage bone growth and repair because it sounds like you may have stress fractures which happen to newbie runners as their bones can't cope quick enough to handle the stress and weight placed upon them. Jus sayin it could be pretty treatable.
>>37077538
Could be caused by over intense running when your body isn't prepared. Also if your leg strength isn't good enough to take the stress of running, because shin splints happen when micro tears occur in the muscle and bone.
I usually do 1.5km on the rowing machine going hard after a lifting session, Is that a decent amount of cardio.
Mainly doing it on the doctors recommendation to keep the feels away.
>>37077964
Take it for free, sell it and buy a cheap road bike for beginners either used or new you will not stick to your cardio on that thing it's so fucking boring and sad. Cycling is so fucking exciting and fun

I ran 4 km today as part of a recovery run. It started running halfway and I ran the last 2km shirtless in the rain which was the best feeling in the world.

what to know when cardio while bulking? make sure i eat enough?
also can i burn some fat with cardio even if i'm in a surplus?
Did you niggers know that increased heart rate from lifting is not the same as increased heart rate from cardio?
First is a response to resistance and it causes your heart to go up to increase blood pressure which makes the heart walls grow thicker. It also doesn't do nearly as much in terms of calories burn.
Cardio adaptation occur because there is a need for volume, therefore heart adapts to pump more blood (as opposed to very fast increase in bp) for long periods. Heart becomes bigger and pumps with less effort
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2300466/
Have a read. It involves studies on hearts of lifters and endurance athletes and which is more favorable
>>37070924
I got super depressed because divorce, ate like a beast for 4 months but kept up my cardio for some reason. Only gained 5lbs.
I feel like marrying cardio now.
>>37070924
Everyday for two hours minimum.
>>37077708
I'm actually not a shill. I've been lifting for years and am pretty advanced but always struggled with losing weight and getting ripped. I found those videos online and that shit has helped me a lot with staying on my cardio and I thought I'd share it with you guys.
I do have a channel though. I just use it to post my pr's for the archives:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl4rWtvCWEE
Skinny skelly reporting in. Ran 6 mile at 7:25 pace before work.
did two hours of biking today. it was beautiful out and I had a good time.
>>37078022
Do couch to 5k.
Also, far more important than exercise is getting control of your eating. And you need to do it now. You're nearing the event horizon.
>>37078269
so i watched the elliptical vid you linked, man those are intense workouts. 30 minutes seems like a really long HIIT session and way more than "just a few minutes" Nice lifts btw
>>37078819
Thanks man! The elliptical workout is broken down into 4 sets with each lasting around 5-6 minutes. He recommends beginners only do the first one or two sets so that's about 10-12 minutes. Not bad if you ask me.
>>37077190
its pasta
>>37071826
Do you run in the mornings?
I started running but couldn't fit it in my routine without making it a chore so I do other forms of more HIIT cardio.
I'm thinking that if I start running in the mornings it may increase the energy I have for actually doing stuff in the day. I don't know.
>>37078963
a nice 40 min cardio session first thing is invigorating for me. dat runner's high
what does /fit/ cardio bunnies think of the Nike Zoom elite shoe? are they comfy?
>>37077895
Don't do that yet. Listen to that guy first, include some tempo, intervals, hills, threshold, once or twice a week. Your long run pace will improve with time, meaning your legs are ready.
>>37079410
My goal is to peak in late October or early November so I'm building a base right now. I'm aiming to peak out in mileage in late August and then begin serious workouts, probably 2-3 times a week for 2 months. This type of training has worked for me in the past and has helped me run a 16:30 5k
>>37079595
*going to start building a base soon
>>37079410
seconding this - assuming you mean like 12+ miles for long runs, doing them at a HR of anything over ~140 will be very taxing on your body. We had sub-25 guys on my team (D3) doing long runs at 7:15-7:30 pace still. You can start pushing the pace on your base runs (e.g. normal runs) earlier, but there isn't a lot of benefit to running long runs faster and it takes you longer to recover.
>>37071114
wow, good explanation. This is exactly describes mine a couple years ago. But, you know what anon? I think I ran through mine, desu.
Ya, i'd run until the inflammation started and then only go for another 5-10 minutes. I would wait a week then try it again, and made sure to be really hydrated all the time too. Eventually I lost some weight, gained some muscle and ran through the shin splints..I do not get the 'rock shin' like I used to.
>>37077964
Put the resistance up high and do non-sitting pedaling for a minutes, watch sweat pour. Then lower resistance and cycle for 5min. Literally do this HIIT like 20 minutes session will work you over nicely and not too boring or too long.
Is there a such thing as cardiovascular deload?
>run and get 2 mile time to 15 1/2 min

>>37077894
HIIT sprints on a treadmill.
Also start running outside and do some up Hill sprints.
I do weight training cuz I hate being so skinny, but cardio is all that really matters. In my field of work, cardio benefits me, strength does not. I also go kayaking and mtn biking a few times a year, so cardio wins there too.
That said, my quads are killing me after bumping up my deadlift by 10 more pounds.
>>37080457
>quad doms
>after deadlift
Youre doing it wrong
I'm type one diabetic and doing cardio wreaks havoc on my blood sugar. I can't even do a steady powerwalk without my sugar plummeting. And I'm trying to lose weight, so if I eat/drink something before cardio, it kind of defeats the purpose.
So I lift. That doesn't drop me nearly as fast, so it's cool.
>>37076798
>would smile at her, would wave and greet her, and eventually talked to her
Fugg, I can't even make eye contact with girls anymore and I forgot how to fake a smile. Most people probably think that I hate everyone and feel superior.

>>37077993
I'd say double it. 1.5 cant take more than a few minutes and you should at least be doing 20 mins of cardio.
I'm 22 and I never learned how to ride a bike or swim

My best 5K was at 24:16, and I'm really happy about that, since I'm a pretty tubby dude.
I'm just really uncertain about where I wanna go with my cardio - If I want to run longer distances, go faster on shorter distances, that kind of stuff.
>>37071146

Football is a dangerous sport which can lead to injuries
Due to the injuries you wont be able to workout.
Cardio isnt bad, football is
meh i ran daily for 8 years, started lifting, ran for about a year alongside but recently quit
i should really get back into it for cardiovascular benefits but lifting is 100% more beneficial for my mood and ego

Pretty good. Been running about 9.3 miles a week.
I started running again now that the winter is through. Fuck, I used to be decent, best 5k was 19:00 flat and a 1:33:00 half marathon. now I'm trudging at like 25:00 5k and I couldn't be any more disappointed. Still I put on like twenty pounds since then, mostly lean thank christ. sitting just under 200, this adderall I'm taking tonight is definitely going to help slash that. Better not lose my lean though, i've been drinking shit loads of milk and the like.

It is not. Get over your self retard
How do some people actuslly run like 10km casually? I don't understand how that's possible. I run frequently and sprints especially and uphill running, but there's no way I could run 10km at steady space. I can't come up with anything worse.

I think it's either just memes, or they want to justify their laziness because cardio is hard for them (it's possibly the hardest fitness-related thing for anyone starting out) and they want to feel less bad about skipping it.

personally, I beg to differ, mine are nice af

You build no quantifiable aerobic or anaerobic capacity from short bursts of lifting. Yeah it'll get your heart rate up, and burn fat, but that's about it.

Side bar, has no one noticed these assholes in the pic are running in the fucking desert without carrying water bottles, and fuckweed chasing the tail is wearing a near black shirt. In the middle of the road. Not to mention this girl is smiling when she should be looking like she's about to push a magickarp out of her growler. So many things wrong here.

Pretty good since im a skelly. Im jogging because im interested in jogging. I managed to push myself to 1 hour plus for the last 4 times, and my record so far is 2h 30m (with a 5 minute break)
Problem is, my form is probably shit. Are my calves/quads/glutes supposed to be the main activated muscle groups? My quads/glutes feel like they did zero work, and my calves feel barely worked even after a 6 km/h pace for one hour. I feel it all in my foot and on the muscle(s) on my shin.
Am i running incorrectly? A lot of it is on shitty bumpy pavement/road/dirt.

wear good shoes and make sure you aren't landing flat footed. Your footstrike should be the balls of your feet, that then goes to heel and back. get plenty of calcium

>6 km/h pace for one hour.

Congrats on reading this far.
By now you have decided to start running yes?
Good for you!
But
Remember to breathe deeply while running to avoid cramps..
I inhale while take two steps and then exhale taking two steps, sometimes three steps! Find YOUR rhythm, This is crucial to your success!!!
Also the lighter you are the faster and longer you can run! So leave heavy items at home, ideally you just want your key in a zipped up pocket.
Leave your hands empty (no mobiles)
When you run, run tall and proud, chin up.
Run outdoors. Run relaxed
Thats about it..
Im going for a run. Cya!

You need to increase your distance. Also 1.5 m as a warming up is to far. Try half a mile for warming up.

You did it wrong. Hiit sprints, not some jogging for miles bullshit, is the way to go.

So are there any advantages to thicker heart walls?

Once you're in shape the first mile or two will always be the worst, so you're just doing the hardest part by sticking with short distances. Some people warm up for a 5k race by running a 5k.
Just ran a tough mudder in Ohio yesterday. 10 miles of hills and mud with some of the most fun obstacles.
I did it, but I need to run outside on hills more and on the treadmill less. Seriously.
Went for a run last night. Entire car full of girls fucking wolf whistled me and grinning as they past by. I don't know if they were genuine or not, as I haven't been /fit/ for a relatively long time ( a year and a half)
Whatever the case, it was flattering. Why women cry misogamy about it is beyond m comprehension.

Join the army
I got shin splits and want to put the least amount of pressure on my shins.
Where should my foot land? Everyone says landing on the front of the foot puts the least amount of pressure on the shins, but when I run it feels x100 better to land on the heel for my shins.

Fuck me, after 2 miles I'm exhausted. Averaged out at 7:30 minutes a mile when I did it which isn't great either. Should I start going for 5k then?
>>37070969

>>37070924
I walk about 2-3 miles each morning,
