Where's my MISC runners at?

[jayt8]

trying to be a runner here...

ran all last summer and fall, did 7 mile mud run in november then quit running for 2 months. just started back up the other day.

pittsburgh half marathon in may, tough mudder in august. plan on doing some more runs as well. potentially 5k foam fest for the lulz.

wanna build up to the iron man but i don't know if i have the drive to train my arse off for it

[RunThenRunMore]

Strong Sig Goals...

150km in a day seems brutal.

Not so bad doing it. The week after is worse than getting a paper cut on the nipple and then swimming through the River Ganges.

Have done NY marathon twice (slow, didn't know much about effective training at the time).

Have since done 3:35 at a local marathon. Getting into ultra-running now, have done a 32 mile race, a 50, a 56 and a 100 mile.

100 mile run? How long did that take, how much food did you have to take with you? Or were there places you could eat on the way? Sounds crazy..

My body is most assuredly not ready.

How long did it take you? And how was the recovery?

I walked 100K once (famous hiking event in my country). I cannot imagine running this distance and then an additional 61K... Insane!

29 hours, 43 minutes. And a few seconds, presumably, but I wasn't really bothered about those. I had a small backpack stuffed full of dried fruit, nuts, cheese, biscuits, flapjacks, that type of thing. You also got access to 'Drop Bags' at two points along the way where you could stock up. There were checkpoints roughly 10 miles apart to get water, plus additional snacks, sometimes coffee, soup or porridge. I also ducked into a shop for an ice cream, which was awesome.

Feet and ankles were wrecked afterward, (although the ankle was partly due to an injury I carried into the start of the race) and I was limping pretty badly for two days, but after that I recovered pretty quickly. Was probably ready to run again about 10 days afterward, although I took a break from it anyway since I wanted to get back in the gym.

Time to sack up. Get on it, bro!

Ouch, no thanks. That seems pretty brutal.

Good stuff, man. I like hearing stories like this. Sounds like it was a memorable experience.

Here you go man, I did a Google on shinsplints and found this:

http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/beatin...-them/234.html

Symptoms

[b]Symptoms of shinsplints include an aching, throbbing or tenderness along the inside of the shin (although it can also radiate to the outside) about halfway down or all along the shin, from the ankle to the knee.[b] This discomfort is due to the inflammation of the tendons on the inside of the front of the lower leg. This is basically the definition of shinsplints. (Sports medicine specialists don�t like to use the term shinsplints because it commonly refers to several lower-leg injuries. We�ll use it anyway, but we�ll focus on the specific problem that is the most common: tendinitis of the lower leg.)

Another symptom is pain when you press on the inflamed area. The pain of shinsplints is most severe at the start of a run, but can go away during a run once the muscles are loosened up (unlike a stress fracture of the shinbone, which will hurt all of the time). With tendinitis, pain will resume after the run.

The treatment

Many runners experience mild shin soreness, which usually can be tolerated. �If shinsplints hit you at the beginning of a season, a certain amount of running through it will help the body adapt,� says podiatrist David O�Brian. �But if it�s a persistent problem, you shouldn�t run through it.�

If it does persist, ice the inflamed area for 15 minutes three times a day and take aspirin or ibuprofen. Ice immediately after running . To hasten recovery, cut down on running or stop altogether. Exercises with a resistance band will help to strengthen muscles of the lower leg (see �An Ounce of Prevention� below). Typical recovery time is two to four weeks.

If the injury doesn�t respond to self-treatment and rest in two to four weeks, see a podiatrist, who may recommend custom-made orthoses to control overpronation. Ultrasound and anti-inflammatories may also be prescribed, but surgery is rarely required.

While recovering from shinsplints, you may want to try alternative, non-impact exercises such as swimming, pool running, walking and cycling in low gear.

An ounce of prevention�

To guard against shinsplints, stretch and strengthen the tendons and muscles in the front of the leg by using band exercises.Anchor one end of the band to a heavy object, such as the leg of a sofa. Stretch the band, then loop it around the end of your foot. Move your foot up and down and from side to side against the band�s resistance to exercise different muscle groups. Many sports shops stock elasticated resistance bands (eg Clinabands).

An even simpler approach is to sit on a table or chair and loop either an ankle weight or a filled paint bucket around your foot, then move your foot up and down from the ankle.

Also, make sure to wear stability shoes or motion control shoes and consider orthotics, if your GP or specialist says you need them. Also replace worn-out shoes, warm up well and run on soft surfaces, and avoid overstriding, which puts more stress on shins.

Despite the article being dated back to 2000, I highly doubt there's much difference in the medical field of shinsplints in 13 years. I've bolded all the key points for all.

thanks brah. I have been dealing with that shi t for such a long time. I just cant bring myself to stop running. I need to stop

[FS2]

Here's some motivation for you all

[Zacface]

What do you guys wear in the cold weather?

I absolutely hate running in pants because I sweat so damn much. I usually wear a UA shirt, a long-sleeve loose UA, and then a fleece-like jacket over that. I usually run in shorts, but it is 20 degrees here in the evening right now. I need some kind of pants or something.

I usually wear gloves of some kind, too. Just hate having frozen hands. That is the worst part about running in the cold, IMO.

i dont know why but running in the cold feels better than running in any other type of temperature. except afterwards my forearms and hands cant move lol.
how would you know if you had shin splints? i don't think my calves are that weak, but they get sore for up to a week after running one time, and its not even that far either. i use these shoes, maybe thats why?



i want to run a lot more, but this **** is holding me back its ****ing annoying. its the lower part of my leg, not necessarily the upper part, and it goes to the front of my shin.

The shin/calf problems are most likely your shoes. I had gotten decently accustomed to running in my Merrells, but an 8 mile run killed my calves/shins no matter how accustomed to it I got. I decided to go out and buy some normal running shoes, and my running changed overnight. I could run 8+ miles on successive days and had none of the pain that I had when I was wearing my Merrells.

[poms302]

This thread is relevant to my interests.

I got addicted to running in 2009, by 2010 I was logging 70 miles a week. Fractured my ankle playing bball late 2010, developed a wicked case of plantar fasciitis. Every time I ran my ankle was swollen and plantar fascia was on fire. Tried to let it heal and it just never did.

Did PT for the ankle, all is well now.

For the plantar fasciitis I researched a lot. I tried every youtube, sportsmed video available...nothing.

Then I got a rumble roller and a Strassburg sock recently, foot pain has been gone for about two months.

I started running/walking last week trying to ease back into it. Right now just upping my time 10% a day until I hit an hour which will be on Friday.

http://thesock.com/ <--- Best 40$ ever spent.

http://rumbleroller.com/ <---Really helps with shin splints.

http://www.superfeet.com/ <---Premium insole, what 150$ shoes should come with. I use green.


Goal for 2013 is 1000mi, 987 to go.

[NYMopar360]

Runner here used to run 5 or 6 miles almost everyday ..slowed down for the bulk (not stop completely) ....cutting season is here started runnin more often like a few days ago ...

true, what are some normal running shoes that are good?

[Nathan17]

going to do club soccer this semester so I have to start running more >

[Zacface]

Honestly, it is up to your preference. I personally like my Asics. I posted about them on page 4. I use the Asics Gel Nimbus. It is incredibly comfortable, and easily the best shoe I have owned for running.

[ScaleAndSteel]

My shoe:

Asics Gel Nimbus 13

For a man who got bad shin splints from hard outside-heel striking, these are absolutely amazing.

[Poolee32]

Anybody going running today?

If so, post your routes/carry/weather

Weather:34 degrees Fahrenheit and Rainy

Carry:



Route:

Gonna get that other more comprehensive app. I use Nike+ but the other one looks cooler. Maybe a new app for 2013. Gonna listen to garth brooks radio on pandora. Nothin that's gonna make me go too fast. I run for enjoyment.

[newtmiscer]

kind of a retarded thread on a bodybuilding forum, as the human body wasnt designed to run whilst carrying a lot of extra weight (fat or muscle). but then again you like 'the game', and '2 chainz' so you are indeed retarded

[GetHimABodyBag]

dont go run more than 5k rather do kb's circuits/pyramids, and drag sleds for cardio but enjoy running short distances crew checking in

[LondonBrah2707]

Thanks brah also forgot to mention I run with no music, trying to build dat dere mental strength.



I do the opposite. I want to keep in the aerobic zone and not drift up to the anaerobic zone.

you can stay in the aerobic zone, use a heartbeat monitor if you want to keep in a particular zone

[MarathonerDude]

I thought I was the only one who ran regularly on the misc.

Currently running 90 mpw. Getting ready for a marathon coming up. Hopefully I can beat my PR of 2:29.

[Jereremy]

But seriously I've never seen the appeal of long distance running (prob from growing up a fat kid), would like to get good at sprinting though

how do you guys find your strength+mass changed after taking up running?
