Running Thread

You're right. I need to stop being an American't and start being an AmeriCAN!

What is even happening in this thread? Where the hell am I?!
Where are those idiots who say racist stuff and give useless angry advice?
I had to check this wasn't one poster trolling.

Not saying there is anything wrong with running. It's really fun and it makes you feel amazing. But if weight loss is your goal consider jumping rope instead?

diet should always be the goal. exercise is just supplemental burning of calories.

The rules...
NON-NEGOTIABLE

I'm on a diet. I found this great diet from 1970s Vogue. It fits my lifestyle, it has good sources of protein and it's less than 1200kcal a day.

don't flatter yourself you're still a nigger
but we're here to run

Umm you can’t sit with us sweaty

No, your diet and effort are memes

it took a lot of effort to reach the 3 mile mark :'( I don't know enough about dieting to see where i'm going wrong. I only eat two meals a day and I just seem to stay at 173lbs at 6'1 no matter what I do

cut caloric intake. It is that simple.

not trying to fuck with you. Cardio is great and makes you feel great.

Download MyFitnessPal and start tracking your calories. Cut out everything that's shit, read the sticky for info.

>he doesn’t know about crystal cafe

Hello runners, been wanting to start but will have to go at night (less traffic, live by busy road during day).

>Just go to a track

I'm disabled, can't drive, and live by myself. not sure parents would want to take me every day.

Is anyone here late night runners? How dangerous is it for you?

>700m
>6 minutes
are you even trying

This diet is retarded and you should not take dietary advice from soccer moms from the 70s

im gonna' bite.
Why do you think running at night is dangerous?
Are you scared to trip or some shit?

Best time I've run is 2.04km in a 5.57minute per kilometer time.

Is that good?

Get hit by some drunk asshole not paying attention. Is it an irrational fear? I do have light up arm bands though.

How about you pay attention? Just go out and run ffs

No, it's slow as fuck. Why even run sich a pointless distance?
This is fast, good job user. How old are you and how have you been training for?

No it's not. Get a lamp (front amd back) and reflective clothing. Never trust cars, their drivers, especially women are dumb as shit, ESPECIALLY in the dark.

this aint the matrix. i aint about to dodge a car speeding at 100 mph

>running in a racetrack

My progress went from fat sweaty neet to 6 pack went like this.

>Day 1: run 70m and get a stitch so can't run anymore. Walk about 2km.
>d2 did not run because doms serious lmao but spent time at home researching running form
>d3 still doms
>d4 still doms lmao
>d5 run about 200m and stitch again. Walk 4.4km
>d6 major doms and rash between thighs chaffing together because obese. Run 1km and then walk 8km.
>d7 new strat run a bit slower but for longer. I remember getting 7 laps of my running track so 600x7 = 4.2km jogging
>d8 get harrassed by old lady shining torch thinking I was a robber coz wore all black and ran at 3am. Go home with hardly any work done
>stop running for about 2 weeks
>day 22 run 9km around 10km/h pace
>day 23 10km in 1 hour so 10km/h pace yea boi
>keep doing this for about 2 weeks then got harrassed by crack addict thinking I was following him. Stop running for a month.
>get back into it and summer now so sun rises at around 5am. Got rid of my $6 ebay shoes and brought $30 Target shoes lol. Tell myself keep running until run comes up. Boom half marathon easy af without even realising.
>sometime around here get a job and gf so cut back to 15km and around 80mins of running daily.
>15km ed for about 5 months and got my 6 pack.

Run a 5 minute mile pace and you can consider yourself a "runner"

remember to warm up before running, do a full body calisthenic routine and stretch afterwards, also hit the floor with the ball of you feet, not the heel and keep it up.

running is for volcels, just eat less

>700m run
> 6 minutes

There's no way someone can be this slow, that's not even half of a mile.

This user is an idiot

This is the better way to get started

Best is to do a fixed walk/run cycle, say like 8 min walk, 2 min run and slowly change the ratio. Once you get to about 5 min walk, 5 min jog, start increasing distance, no greater than 10% per week.

> t. former fatty, now marathon runner

What's the furthest you've ran?

You should follow a real program. What it seems like you're doing now is the fuckarounditis of running.

9 miles a week is close to nothing. You need to run more and fix your diet. You burn about 100 calories per mile run no matter how fast you go. 900 calories a week is like 1 meal.

Everyone should find a program and run slower.

This has got to be bait.

> 15km each day.
Naisu. I walk about that each day, hopefully that will keep me in relatively decent shape
