Is it true that some people on here can't run even 3 miles (5k)
Don't you feel ashamed?
ashamed I don't do one of the most damaging exercises to your joints? next you're gonna try to shame me for not squatting.
>decide to run
>first day, half a mile
>second day, one mile
>third day, immediate shin splints
Fucking hell, and now I'm afraid to even try again. It's been like 4 days and my legs start hurting whenever I have to powerwalk, jog for the bus, etc.

Stop over striding

I had a massive problem with shin splints, what seems to have fixed them (touch wood) was running on grass for a month, and doing calf raises with weights.
It's funny, I used to have tiny calves, but now after all the strengthening shit they're pretty big
>>36115342
Everyone can run 5km. Its easy as shit
Unless youre a huge hamplanet
Cardio killz gainz anywayz

>>36115594
This. I just refuse to believe there are people in their 20s in the normal weight range that can't run 5km. I don't care whether you need an hour, but everybody should be able to do 5 km.
>>36115643
>an hour
Wouldn't that be walking
>>36115619
Say goodbye to your knees
>>36115342
I was in CC freshman year of high school up until junior class. It was a great introduction to cardio for me and to this day I'm still able to run 5-6 miles after not training for a month or so. I've kicked up the cardio lately tho, preparing for the airforce.
>>36115670
Sure, I walk at that speed, but running is not determined by your speed, but by the way you move forward (generally: As long as one feet always touches the ground, it's walking. If both feet are in the air at some point, it's running)
>>36115619
THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST THING EVER
FUCK RUCKING
I SWEAR RUCKING SUCKS FUXKINF DICK.
You're tired after 100 meter, dying after 500 meter, leaving humanity behind at 5k+ and you just walk in the pain zone until the 25/30 k are over for the night/morning.
Fucksake I did so much rucking thinking about it hurts. And not just the beta m-much 30kg b-backpack boys. No the full 65kg topped off water supply time to die backpack+vest.
You don't understand suffering until you've done rucking. It's horrendous.

that's nothing special

Switch to elliptical machine until it goes away.
Elliptical will blast your calves.
Start taking calcium supplement.

Stop doing shitty cardio, use a machine, swim or cycle.

>>36115342
I do not understand what this means.. Running three miles can literally be nothing depending on pace. I know powerlifters who can run three miles, the only difference is they can't do it fast.
BTW GOMAD and running is one of the best things I have discovered. Mark Rippetoe is a fucking genius, I think I might start SS with running.
I can run 3 miles I just choose not to because I hate it. Bikings way more fun
>>36116174
under 20 minutes Is acceptable I suppose
I've been reading more and more lately, from those in the know that running actually causes a lot of harm to the body/heart and has little, if any benefit.
>>36116253
They aren't in the know
>>36116274
ultras and shit are terrible on the body.
Used to do "road work". At best got to 10 miles with a weight vest. This was years ago. For years Ive done sprints and run stairs. Every now and then I run 3 miles but its after I do pull-ups at 1 park and run 3 miles to another park for more pull-ups. 3 miles is a joke, I get bored. Trust me, sprints and stairs or hills. Look at pro long distance runners, they all have a Somalian body type, its useless.
>>36116274
Don't you think that jumping rope is better though?
>>36116301
In some aspects, it burns calories faster, for one
>>36116301
running is only good based on its intensity, just like jump roping. Sprinting or stairs beats jogging all day. Jumprope at a decent pace with double jumps for at least 10 mins. I do 10 3min rounds on the heavy bag and then 20 mins of jump rope.
>>36115409
It's only damaging if your form is shit, which chances are it is
>>36116072
>underestimating your enemy
>survive

"Running 3 miles" means nothing. Anyone can do it with enough time. Now doing it under 20 minutes is respectable.
>>36116679
Who's this mega manlet
>>36115745
desu i cant run that long. i can walk for days though. personally i blame the asthma. but realistically its because im a lazy shit.
It takes me 12 minutes to run around a track 4 times. Is that good?
>>36116806
Depends on the track
>>36115342
i'd rather cycle. i dunno. running hurts my knees too much
i ride my bike 18 miles a day(very hilly). Haven't ran in years though
I'd guess i could run a 5k pretty easily.
>This arbitrary '5 kilometers'
At what speed? Even a hamplanet can do 5k if allowed an hour or two.
>>36116893
under 20 minutes with a weighted pack
>>36116909
Alright that sounds pretty hard
>>36116740
well that looks like a high school gym
probably some high school kid desu
>>36115470
You probably don't have real shin splints just are sore/experiencing pains. When you run you get all sorts of weird little pains and stuff that you don't really get doing stuff like lifting. Just go a week more and if it is more than a nuisance it might be something wrong

>>36115342
I can't run 300 meters. I've always had bad exercise induced asthma. Despite working up to 30 minutes a day on an eliptical and doing 5-10 mile bike rides at a fast clip, running is just beyond me. I felt like a damn fool when I got on the treadmill at uni last week and was dying after 3 minutes.
>>36115769
never understood this...
would much rather ruck than run anyday
>>36116806
half mile track great
quarter mile not good
1/8 mile kill yourself
>>36115342
>Don't you feel ashamed?
Can't help it.. I have asthma that kicks in. I can do a sprint but after that my throat is like a straw and I just can't breathe proper for a while.
>>36115470
am i to understand you ran 3 days in a row? after never having ran consistently before?
also stop running on concrete
>>36115342
I had 4 surgeries on one leg over the course of three years due to sporting injuries leaving me with multiple arthritic joints in my 20s. I could care less about running long distance.
>>36116253
Most people run because they like it. Just do what you enjoy.
>>36115409
we're literally built to run
>>36116679
I can get two miles in 13mins, that last one is killer tho
>>36116806
4x400m= 1600m in 12min?
8km/h ~ 7:30min/km
i can walk faster
>>36116679
>Running 3 miles" means nothing. Anyone can do it with enough time.
A)at some point it ceases to be considerd running
#2)yeah its nothing thats why OP is mad ppl cant do it
>>36116679
3 miles in 17 minutes
> Have asthma and the Pectus excavatum
can run up to 2 miles
Isn't that what cars are for?

What's a decent 3 mile time for a [spoiler]girl[/spoiler]? I'm asking for... a friend.
>>36121614
Under 30 min is passable
Under 23 min is no longer DYER
>>36115342
Every old person I know that ran long distance, marathons, triathalons, all end up with bad feet and hip or knee replacements and verbose veins. I'd rather not, there's other ways to get healthy.
Went running yesterday and my lower back got all stiff and it made the whole run uncomfortable as fuck. I'm afraid if I keep running despite the stiffness thing I'll cause some damage.Does this have to do with the fact that I run on concrete or do I just need more core exercise?
Just returned from a run. 2 miles at a steady pace, no sign of muscle fatigue. Had to abort the run because of a sharp lung pain. Wat do? Still coughing up now.
>>36121658

>>36122615
Start running on the grass next to the road or just go off-road entirely. Going for a run in the woods is great. Also, off-road running requires you to balance a lot more, which will strengthen your core to some extent as well.
Been running a 5k a week for the last month.
First was 30min
Second 28
Third 26:20
Fourth 26:10
How do i keep from tappering off? I'm 210lbs and I'm sure that time will go down once i start losing weight.
My mile time is like 14 minutes. :(
>>36123170
Is it a stitch? If so, next time breathe more, somewhat faster than you feel like you need to.
If it's not a stitch you may need to see a doctor
>>36123562
You will taper. There are limits to how fast you can run, and further practice will give you diminishing returns. But you are still a ways off from any sort of physiological limit. Just keep running
>>36123578
Are you walking?
>>36123578
Dont listen to these shitters
just try to cut it down by 30 seconds to a minute every run
>>36123888
>cutting down a mile time by a minute everytime
Can anyone give me some running tips
>>36115342
Why are runners always shaming people who can't run as far as them? 6'4 people can't run LONG DISTANCE. My ankles and knees can't handle the pain, even when I was 14 (yes I was 6'4 at 14, I was a full grown man since about 13 somehow)
Good for you, you can run really far. But for anyone that is tall or weights a significant amount most likely the join pain will stop them before they ever run out of breath.
>>36115643
Well of course someone can WALK 3 miles but OP said RUN.
