Running

I would also check if your shoes are adequate and if you are getting enough Magnesium in your diet. I used to have the same problem. Once I did those two things I was able to run much more frequently and much harder

Yeah. I think my Kinvara 9's are starting to give out on me. I'll check out magnesium stuff though. Thanks user.

I'm not a very good long distance runner. Used to be able to do that mileage you're talking about no problem but got injured in the fall trying to up my volume too fast. Look up resources for competitive runners like guys getting into cross country and see what they say.

Thanks for sharing the video, I'm looking to improve my cardiovascular fitness so I can be healthier.

Find a place that works for you, and keep the strides short. The biggest issue for beginners is that they do these long bouncing steps. Wrong, you're supposed to run at a consistent pace with shorter strides and don't fucking bounce. Bouncing is stupid as fuck and that's what's damaging your knees. Step on the ball of the foot

anyone got any recommendations for socks? I always get this weird bunch up near the toes area that makes it really awkward to step on.

You are fat

I do what this little japs does. I find walking is not intense enough for a workout(no shit) and jogging/running kills my knees. I find the slow jog gets me some cardio (60-65% max heart rate) while saving my joints.

Do the program in pic and then the 10k program

I'm at the end of week 6.
How do I make the pain stop near the middle of the run. I WANT THE PAIN TO STOP AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Additionally, should I just jump right into 5-10k as soon as I'm done or run Week 9 a couple more days/weeks until I'm good to go.

Jump into 10k program after resting 3 days

What's your current and favorite running shoe right now?

>Run straight in the morning
>Feels like I can't run anymore
>Suddenly getting the urge to run again in the evening.
>I know in the first 2-5mins of my second run, I'll start feeling leg pains again

What do I do?

Don't take advice from an anime poster. Weebs can't run

Cycle in the evening or swim

Isn't that just the couch25k and 5kto10k program?

I've done this a couple times (and always wind up slacking off and losing all my endurance bc running sucks balls) and my god weeks 4 and 5 are brutal. 1-3 is a good progression but you almost double your run time from 3 to 4 (9 min to 16 min) and then in 5 you go up to 21 min unbroken. That whole transition needs to be softened up A LOT. Also there's no reason at the end you need to take a whole week to move from 28-30 min.

I feel like weeks 4 through 6 could be stretched to be weeks 4 through 8 and then week 9 can just be 25 min, 28 min, and 30 min and then call it done.

>Don't know how to swim
>Don't own a bike
>Gym's closed so I can't cycle indoors
fuck, i really need to learn how to swim.

Nike Zooms. Hoka, Asics, and everything else is too ugly

To be honest, transitioning from running to swimming will feel like hell if you don't have a good teacher. Running is easier to get away with. Either swim properly or drown

In the summer, I'll definitely go for swimming lessons. Thanks user.

Now time to figure out what to do with this itching feeling to run.

Don't try to milk extra miles out of old shoes.
Here's a rule of thumb:
Brand new shoes, the foam midsole looks smooth and shiny. When you squeeze it, it wrinkles and then smoothens when you let go.
Just by looking, you can tell the cushioning has gone out of the sole and its time for a new pair when you see wrinkles in the midsole even without any stress applied.

Surojogiin looks comfy for beginners :)

Any "running" sock will be better than typical cotton socks, which in turn are better than thin dress socks. I've tried the compression socks and didn't notice a difference aside from the price. The most important thing is correct size.

Or, you could just slow down your running pace as anyone should know what their jogging speed is and increase their running speed from that base

>suddenly go from 30 min 5ks to sub 16:30 and read manga while casually walking on a treadmill at 12 km/h
if only anime was real

I was having knee and shin problems when running until I started focusing on my cadence. Originally I was at around 160 steps per minute, increasing it to 180 fixed all my problems. I found that using flat, somewhat minimal, running shoes helped to make it more natural.

I'm doing my 4th half marathon in as many weeks tomorrow morning. I run a hilly trail (500m+ elevation gains) with the dogs.

My pace averages out between 7-9min per km on these runs and they roughly take 3 hours.

I'm a fat fuck and other runners always overtake me, but if I try to keep pace with faster people my distance I can run drops dramatically.

Any tips for building a better pace?

I'm 96kg 5ft 10 and have lost 4kg since Jan by OMAD and running with the intention of getting down to 80kg like I was before

what does Yas Forums think about barefoot running?

>Any tips for building a better pace?
Run a 10k instead of half marathons and double your speed

fatty

It is good that you are asking for advice but I am compelled to ask why you posted a nigger?

do couch to 5k and focus on proper form above all else, just like lifting

look up good running form, and remember it's about endurance and not speed. If you're winded af just slow down as much as you can

Come on, running is like the one thing they're good at.

I find that it feels good for the joints when you get used to it, but if I go longer than 5'ish km it starts taking its toll on my soles. Unfortunately I don't have the commitment to grow 1 cm of leather under my feet. Most of the year I'm running in minimalistic shoes.

go back to Yas Forums you underage loser

I can think of 1 other thing, but I get your point.

No benefit over minimalist running, except for the feel, but higher injury risk. All in all not worth it, if you are somewhat serious about it. Sometimes nice during regeneration cycles.

hehe try harder filthy nigger

Just keep losing weight. You're too heavy for serious pace work. Do intervals on a rowing machine for v02max and work on your form

this

It's going to be a black future from here on out. ;)

Yeah it must be real dark when you're put six feet under ground nigger

anybody have any personal experience or tips on healing a mild to moderate hip flexor strain quickly other than the obvious "just don't use it for 3 weeks"? really need to start running again soon since this is already putting me behind on my program and i don't exactly want to start popping ibuprofen like a pillhead to get back on track if it doesn't fix itself within like a week or so

Either roids or don't run for 4 weeks
Walk more
