I ran a practice marathon in 5h45min. 184 cm, 95 kg, fat as shit. Was pretty impressed with myself even though the time is shit.

Completed 9.2 miles yesterday because I had nothing better to do. Today my feet are ripped open and everything hurts. Though it's good from a reformed fatass who had to walk the mile as a kid. Best I ever did before this was about 5 miles 2 weeks ago. I just go at my own pace sometimes faster sometimes slower. Would have still been a fatass if I didn't find Yas Forums thanks guys.

How to build endurance FAST?

Is there any reason to buy a garmin watch when I could just use my phone and google maps to track my time and distance?

Just start jogging 3x a week. Shoot for a 8-9 min pace and keep adding distance until youre at 4 miles. Its easy to add distance, hard to decrease mile time. Do HIIT for that.

Run 4-5 times a week as far as you can at your own pace. Endurance builds fast.

just keep jogging
the more you jog, the longer your heart rate stays elevated, the more your body adapts to cardio

cardio gains come extremely fast

this

horrible advice

Any specific HIIT programs or exercises I could look at? I've been doing Hal Higdon's 5K training for now but it's all distance, no speed work.

don't fucking do speed work until you're running 30 miles per week. You'll get injured and just running more will make you improve much faster

cardio is not powerlifting, stop focusing on intensity and focus on volume instead

This meme is older than the internet

>Run 2 miles on track in 15 minutes
>Run 2 miles on road in 17 minutes
Is this just psychological?

Did your road have in hills? Otherwise yes it probably it is psychological

Two hills, but I run up and back down so it should even out

what is this training plan for?

is there a specific distance you're meant to hit at the end?

I don't run, I hike. Was cursed with short calf muscles and fallen arches so a lot of leg shit is beyond me without surgery.

This guy gets it

Having a really tough time breaking the 7:00/mi wall, noob gains running out I guess.

Being able to run at lunch with WFH is really nice though, so sunny and warm at noon.

running uphill is harder than running downhill

I haven't seen that guy in ages

I mean, running uphill is harder than running downhill is easier

in otherwords, elevation makes a run harder regardless of whether it balances out in the end or not

you're too heavy and it puts stress on your bones, start with something less stressful on them like biking or elliptical or walking until you lose some weight.
