Is running 6 miles a day bad?

[SkiNNy209]

I have been running 4 miles a day for about 3 weeks(Sunday is my day off). I recently stepped it up to 6 miles a day, and my left knee is beginning to hurt. Am I destroying my joints or is this pain normal?

[Twist3dJok3r]

If you are having knee problems, you upped the mileage too much too quick. You add miles you run up slowly. You dont add two fricken miles onto your runs that quick...

[Alpha-Manlet]

It's normal I had the same thing when I took up track a couple years ago. It eventually just went away.

it's not good for your body


I used to run ten miles a day, 6 days a week, **** killed me, I did it for endurance though

If you're doing it for cutting or something for maintenance, then cut your miles in half or your body will be doing more damage than good, pain in your muscles is good, but when it's your joints, it's time to lighten up on your workout

Suggest you look into some better shoes...
What you have may be OK for the distance you've been doing, but 'let you down' when going further...

just sayin'

[SkiNNy209]

I appreciate the advice. I'm not doing it to get cut up. I just want to build up my endurance. I'm enlisting in the Air Force and I want to excell in Basic. However I don't want to injure myself before I get there so I'll take it easier. Thanks

[Adrenolin]

When I cut, I step up the cardio to 6miles a day 3x a week.

[Caseyface]

try foam rolling for your quads/hamstrings and get a knee support just in case but don't rely entirely on it.

6 miles everyday might be tough if your not used to it and heavier.


Yet olympic marathon runners run a marathon+ every single day and are healthy.

[HardWorkandRest]

I used to run 9 miles a day. 4.5 miles in the morning before work, and 4.5 around 6pm after work. U mad?

That's not true

I wasn't really concerned with muscle at the time, so I was even lifitng. Sad, sad thing. I had decent muscle mass and was lean too. I got down to 189, and I looked pretty good. I don't think I'd do that 9 miles a day knowing what I know now, but it was a hell of a cardio workout and made me feel comletely healthier everyday.

I have decent muscle now and I'm around 14 percent right now and wanted to get down under 10 before I fought and up my conditioning so I was thinking thats what I would do.

That's not true

40miles a day sorry was more then I thought, with **** nutrition also

you are an idiot

Yet olympic marathon runners run a marathon+ every single day and are healthy.

that is incorrect, most will run much less then that each week with a long run(20-22) on saturday. edit: that chinese trainer that you linked to is certainly not the average trainer(his women and mens team quit)

[robwizzle36]

I used to run 9 miles a day. 4.5 miles in the morning before work, and 4.5 around 6pm after work. U mad?

um...I used to run 13 miles a day (3 miles to work and 10 miles on the long route home) U MAD?





lol jk, but serious about the 13 miles, I only kept that up for a couple months before I got sidelined....but I felt like a badass.

Btw for what it's worth I had to run 10k a day total for like a week up from 0 "running" (basketball does not count) and fcked up my ankles, knees and hips to some small degree. Lesson: BUY RUNNING SHOES AND WALK WHEN COACHES CAN'T SEE YOU

[ADiSKOTEC]

It's lupus

[trayflippa13]

i had this same pain. I took two weeks off. Then i started running again at 2 miles. (i was doing 6) Then i got it up to 4 miles and stuck with that and was pain free! Also it could be runners knee.

[badamss]

what surface you running on. treadmill or concrete?

unaware of thread date, tempted to neg idiot that bumped this when off R/C.

[skazclaw]

yeah u can stuff ur joints running with bad shoes + hard surface

[Aron1992]

With running you need to have days off just like BBing. It's also a good idea to miss running every 4 weeks and have a weeek of low impact cardio

[Dane2013]

Stop running in shoes. yourdoingitwrong. look up barefoot running and how to do it.
