Where's my MISC runners at?

[Poolee32]

yeah it's a good thing to do if you feel like mixing it up.
in relation to bw exercises there is something called a FINTAN circuit. basically it's 2 cones 30m apart, 9 bw exercises 3 upper 3 core 3 lower. sprint between the cones do first exercise sprint back next exercise so on. great for CV and a bit of bw training

i'll have to check that out. I like the unstructured part, though.

sometimes i'll get bored with a run and just start sprinting, then jog some more, then throw in HIIT, then some bodyweight exercises then kill it with some burpees or bodyweight squats, then jog back to my truck before doing the final sprint. I just love the 'it's however i feel' workout because it genuinely works.

Used to be a sprinter, then didnt have time in college. Like to run on occasion now.

also try hill sprints with burpees at the top that is truly painful.
it works because you aren't bored, i mean lets be honest if you're bored you aren't going to put in 100% effort and you will have less motivation so you won't improve as much

I've tried it before and didn't find it helped me more than just pushing myself with normal breathing, but each to their own. If it works for you keep it up.

Yea, same to you.

[iggles]

Just got back into running (havent ran since P.E. in highschool). I made it my newyears resolution. I run about a mile every other day or so and its getting a lot easier. Feels good man

[FS2]

Here is a great workout for the new runners of 2013:

http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

It's called from the couch to 5k.

5k is 3 miles and yes there is an app on the app store for this.

[AirJordanB]

For my running brahs who take dat dere iPhone with them, this is a good app. Tracks your time, distance, pace, estimated calories burned and gives you a map of your run marked off mile by mile. It's also free.

[Daegus]

Anyone here used a camelbak whilst running? I find them pretty useful when doing longer distance runs

I do during the 20-25+ mile days/weekend runs otherwise I use a handlehelds.

Then if we agree what are we talking about? lol

Can anyone recommend a good heart rate monitor? looking to purchase.

My Garmin forerunner 410 came with a heart rate monitor. Great for running, it has a gps in it, can create workouts, can do a lot on it. It's an awesome tool.

Edit- Got for about $150.

Always hated using handhelds for a some reason

Don't know aha, too many people i'm getting confused now lol. adidas micoach comes with a heartrate monitor which is good. either that or garmin watching as already recommended

[RockyIV]

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

Are you just asking for a neg train? If you don't like the topic then GTFO

[RockyIV]

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.

90 Miles per week?


WTF man that's some crazy volume

[dirtdickens]

any military bruhs here ever run in these?

http://www.zappos.com/bates-footwear-delta-8-desert-tan

No, get the Nike boots. Same bottom and support as Nike Free running shoes.

How do you brahs increase your endurance, I'm short of breath when I run atleast 100 feet

[dirtdickens]

second this, fartlek is brilliant

Agree, its pretty good

[RockyIV]

Just keep at it and don't sprint. If you are sucking wind after 100 feet then slow down depending on your goals. If you are trying to build endurance then slow the pace and concentrate on sustainable. It will feel embarrasingly slow at first but it gets better. It takes longer to get your endurance back after a long layoff than strength back after a long layoff from lifting.

[Zacface]

I have never heard of this until just now. I have always added variety to my workout, and just assumed that everyone did this kind of thing. I love to run really hard down hills, and sprint past obstacles, and then get into a cruise on flats, power through hills, etc. I just never knew there was an actual training style that did this kind of thing. I love it.

about to go and record a 5k.

[TokenV]

You built endurance by running long distance. To be able to keep up, it's necessary to keep a comfortable pace.

First you built endurance, and only then you can think about training for speed.

Endurance = long distance runs
Speed = interval, fartlek, hill sprints, ...

[FS2]

another 5k done today bit of a slow pace due to adverse weather conditions god damn black ice.

30*F or -1*c and it's due to snow now for a few days.

This should be fun.

Currently clocked up 25 miles this month from 8 runs and it's only going to get better and better.

[RockyIV]

I missed my run last night due to some sleet and freezing rain. So far it's cold today but not raining. I'll get 5 in tonight and keep it at an easy pace. This past week has been rain and I missed my long run this weekend due to rain. I don't mind some rain but this crap was coming down to run 13 miles and not be completely miserable.

[poms302]

Nice.

I got another 4 today giving me 22mi on 7 runs this month.

Today was my longest run in over two years, pain free so far.

Good job, keep it up brah

[Burtle1]

Ran 1.5 miles last night in 15.10 at 6.1MPH....that's terrible. BUT I haven't ran in a few months..



I have to run 1.5 miles in 13 minutes in 5 weeks...
(I have to run on a treadmill now because its 10-20degrees outside)


when I take my 1.5 mile test in 5 weeks it will be outside unless its snowing/raining. My guess is it'll be in the 20-30's still, which isn't good.

I heard its a lot harder to run outside than it is on a treadmill.




do you guys have any advice? I know running everyday isn't a smart idea. Right now my ankles/legs are sore but not real sore.



I've never ran consistantly so really don't know much about it besides the basics. I do have a very nice pair of running shoes that I shoes just for running. I went to my local running store and they checked out my feet and hooked me up with a nice pair of asics

[Daegus]

There's nothing wrong with running every day as long as you build up to it. I personally am on a 10 day on 1 day off for running. I average around 10 miles a day with 30-45 of those miles being done on the weekends in the form of very long runs.

With that said, you really only need to put in a 3 or 4 days in a week and you can easily do that. Do one day that is sprints: 400 meter repeats, yasso 800's, 30/60 or 60/120. If you can't do any of these then start with 30/60s. 30 seconds of sprint and 60 seconds of rest. Start low doing 6 or 7 sprints. Build up to 12 sprints then moving into 60/120's. These will build speed and endurance very quickly.

Another day do a moderately pace run for 3 miles or so. It should be hard enough that you can't say but a few words or whatever you say is broken as you run. As you become a better runner and understand your body more then these kinds of paces are easy to figure out.

The third day of running should be long and very easy. If you really can't run well enough to put in 4 or 5 miles then do 2-3 miles at whatever pace seems easy. This is really not about paces as it is more just moving and being on your feet. After you get done with the run add another 15-20 mins on the bike. It'll give you a little endurance boost without tearing yourself up more. Eventually you want to build to a 4 or 5 mile run.


Eventually when these runs become easier and you become a better runner you can start doing things like hill repeats, mile over mile repeats, threshold runs, tempo runs and other things if you want to get faster for long distances or faster in general for 1.5 mile tests.

wow, thanks so much! I'm going to go do some more running tomorrow night after work. I'll try the sprints tomorrow and as you've stated, mix it up.

Np.

Also, I failed to mention and just thought if it. Try to keep the sprints away from leg day. Sprints are taxing enough for beginner runs to be doing right after or before a leg day. Another thing is try to keep the run days separated if you can. Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule works really well if you can do it that way.

Stick with it and really focus on doing well in the runs for the 4 weeks then you should improve a lot in a short time. The week before the test I wouldn't do that much running. Do one day 4-5 days out that is just to get your body moving and keep the feeling in your legs for what it's like to run. 2-3 days out hit up the bike for 20-25 mins at a really easy pace to keep the blood moving.

Jogging is an amazing way to stay in shape and active.

Currently rocking Jaybird headphones & Nike+ Sportwatch GPS.

Wake up at 4am to run around my neighborhood crew checking in. Brb put on my running shoes, put in some progressive trance, feel the morning cold on your face. Feelsgoodman.
