I haven’t ran in two months and trying to do my normal running routine felt like hell. How do you guys get your body use to running again?
Getting body use to running again

>repeat
this is generally speaking,but it works

Brayden King
run
Jack Brooks
You'll get it back in a week or so. Just stretch really good after. Wouldn't worry to much.
>t. College runner.
Nathan Roberts
Don’t overdo the miles. don’t freak out if you get aches and pains just chill until they subside but know you have to fire it up and hit it again after.
Easton Campbell
Dubs of truth
Yeah imma defenetly take my runs slowly and slowly build up where I was 2 months ago
I mostly care about keeping a consistent pace for a period of time and I’m sure I’ll eventually get over this hurdle thank you bros.
Easton Russell
1) Listent to music while you run
>inb4 b-but that's for losers who can't be alone with their thoughts
No, it isn't. Grow up.
You can really cover distance while listening to music
For example, I usually run 6-8km every day, takes me 30-40 mins — this might seem daunting to the new runner, but if you put on a good playlist or an album, that's only like 10 or so songs, and so breaking down the challenge into bitesized achievable chunks is made instantly easier
Get either a chest strap or a waist strap for your phone — imo armbands are uncomfortable when moving your arms — £10-15 / $13-20
Then get yourself a nice pair of *affordable* bluetooth wireless in-ear headphones (they are out there, do your research)
I'm assuming you have Spotify or Apple Music — if not, get either one.
2) Hydration backback
Sounds like a meme, right? It isn't.
I run to the gym everyday and it's so great having this little tube on my shoulder that lets me take a quick sip without breaking stride — just googled, first result was £10 / $13:
3) Warm up and warm down — static warmups only during warm down; when warming up you don't want to be doing static exercises/stretches, you want to be loose
4) Good footwear
— The most important thing is having good trainers, do research, comfortable with bounce but firm, also depends on what kind of running you're doing (cross country, track, casual etc)
Most likely if you're just looking to get some casual running in, your sports trainers will be good enough, idk
There are other points I can't remember
Grayson James
Start out with light intensity and duration. Gradually increase.
Sebastian Price
Yeah music helps me especially when it has a good rhythm. I’ll prob invest into a hydration backpack looks very convinient.
Christian Sullivan
Shin splints are killing my running gains. Nothing I do seems to solve this issue at all. I've dented and injured my shins a number of times in my younger years and I feel like I probably have micro-fractures all throughout my right shin and partially on my left.
I hate it, I've tried everything except possible surgery but I don't know what good that'll do at this point.
David Hall
Warm up knees, ankles, hips very well.
Control your breathing, make sure you get enough oxygen.
Gabriel Lopez
>How to take an hour to get ready for a 30 minute run.
Eli Richardson
I saw hydration backpacks at Walmart yesterday for like 15 bucks, so that's also an option if you don't wanna wait for shipping
Xavier Hall
it'll suck at first, but if you push through it, it becomes easy and you get tougher
Gabriel Sanchez
What's a good distance to swim for a basic cardio workout? A half mile feels right for me but I have no reference really
Owen Long
idk man
ran quarter mile the other day, came home and cried myself to sleep
gonna go run half a mile now
tomorrow 1 mile
wish me luck friend
Wyatt Watson
>this nigga going out running looking like Paul Atreides
Jackson Roberts
>hydration backpack for 40 minute run
>phone strap, not just using pockets
>brain cancer pods
>warm up and warm down
Should be done on the run. If you're not sprinting you don't need to warm up, just start at a jog and gradually speed up. Walking around for 5 minutes afterwards is enough of a warm down.
>not advising barefoot shoes
>not advising nasal breathing
>not advising toe running
>running medium distance every day
You're just burning muscle off and tiring your body out. 20 minutes running twice a week, with lots of sprinting incorporated, is perfect for muscle building in your legs, cardio gains and staying young, without making yourself into a skellington. What are you even training for? Clearly not a marathon. Unless you're obese or have no diet control running that much is just detrimental to your joints. I bet you fucking heelstrike.
Justin Turner
Can I run before lifting?
Nathaniel Baker
>1) Listent to music while you run
Asher Young
Running is boring as fuck
>inb4 just look at the pretty scenery
Cooper Baker
>he cannot admit he cannot be alone with his thoughts
Zachary Gutierrez
just run lol
Benjamin Harris
Thoughts on barefoot shoes for running? Will I look like a chooch?
Adam Reed
Your form is bad user. Take off your shoes. Run barefoot for a few hundred yards. Notice how you always land on the pad of your foot and take small quick strides. This is how you should run with shoes on. Your Achilles should be absorbing most of the impact, not your shins.
Asher Watson
>Listent to music while you run
Nigga the point of running is to be alone with your own thoughts.
Also there is such a thing as overgearing.
Ryan Turner
Good luck breh
You can but your probably shouldn't. You can run while being tired and not risk injury. Lifting tired will probably hurt you. Just run after
Xavier Cook
>Using pockets
Enjoy having your phone bounce around in your pocket, and having it get super sweaty.
Barefoot running shoes are fucking GOAT though
Juan Brown
Even shoes with cushioning?
Dominic Flores
>Thinking about crushing depression and loneliness while running and listening to my own breathing - - 10:00 minute mile
>Thinking about crushing depression and loneliness while running and listening to uptempo EDM music - - 7:00 miles.
Music is the metronome for your feet breh
Austin Davis
They're pretty good. They might cause your toes to blister a bit though. Also they aren't very durable. I recommend the Merrell Vapor Glove line of shoes
Justin Nguyen
Barefoot running shoes are a meme. Just get regular running shoes and you won't look like a faggot
Cameron Evans
Yup. The gigantic heel that a lot of running shoes have often make you land on your heel and extend your stride. You end up landing on your heel which, although cushioned, transfers the impact to your shins. Your shins can't take that kind of abuse for even a couple miles though. The cushioning only serves to protect your feet, which don't usually need it because they're already so thick and durable.
Hudson Ross
Kevin Cruz
Barefoot running shoes are made so you won't be lazy and adopt shit running form. If you try to heel strike in barefoot shoes it'll hurt and you'll know right away you have to keep your good form.
"Normal" running shoes are the smith machine of running equipment.
Christopher Torres
So if you heel strike in shoes, you get hurt, and if you heel strike barefoot, you get hurt.
Brandon Clark
I have read few things here dumber than this.
Isaiah Morales
how to deal with calves pain from running?
Isaiah Gomez
I'm still confused. Do I get traditional running shoes and forefoot strike or barefoot running shoes and forefoot strike?
Lincoln Ross
Andrew Ward
You retard
Don't stop
Early distance always feels like hell but it will be a breeze after a mile or two
Lincoln Morgan
Know any good waterproof earbuds? Haven't gone swimming since I was a kid, loved it then but not sure about now. Having some jams going would be nice.
Liam Hill
what part of anything he said takes 30 minutes retard
Ryder Sullivan
In the beginning dont think in distance, worry more about the time you spend in the water, say you go and do 40mins to an hour of swimming, just push yourself to keep doing laps until that time is up and rest when needed.
Daniel James
It doesn't matter how you land, just make sure not to overstride.
Leo Hernandez
>EDM
cringe
Robert Rivera
So 40 minutes is what I should shoot for then? That's definitely longer than what I currently do.
Christopher Perez
9 times out of 10 your running pace is either too fast or you ran too many miles. Adjust one of those two or both. Unless you're trying to run a specific type of workout, there's no shame in running easy at what should be a conversational pace. Whole different story if you're trying to train for an actual race.
Anthony Moore
WTF
Nicholas Torres
You've probably still got serious muscular imbalances going on in your lower body. There's strength exercises you can do, if you haven't done them already. If you had to do just one, do stuff that strengthens your shin like tracing the alphabet with your foot, scrunching a towel with your bare feet, or picking up marbles with your bare feet.
I've also found success with adding a lot more hill running into my training plans. Hill running, especially hill sprints, is great for strengthening your muscles and injury prevention.
I swear by hill sprints. Go for a 4-6 mile run and either in the middle of it or at the end of it: find a hill with around an 8% slope, sprint at max effort for 4-8 seconds, carefully jog/walk back down so you don't get hurt, repeat for a few times. Engages your entire body, increased intensity at a slower pace, and makes you stronger.
is right, too. Just get an affordable shoes that you're comfortable in and doesn't compromise your stride. All that cushioning is going to mask underlying issues until its too late.
Good luck. Shin splints are a bitch.
Adrian Allen
swimming makes me nervous because I feel like my form is retarded and I like to doggy paddle

William Davis
Don't run. It's only a matter of time before you get some shitty injury and are permanently impaired. Do low impact cardio instead
