Where's my MISC runners at?

[BwuK]

Did 4 miles today, 36:17 was the time. Felt pretty easy so quite chuffed. Doing 4.5 miles on Thursday.

4.5 miles of mostly hills went well. 5 tomorrow!

Starting to get back into my Cardio Grind, and was wondering if there are any good sprint routines out there to help increase speed?

Here is something I do.

.25m sprint. Try to keep between 1:20 to 1:30 then jog .25m. Do this for 5 sets.

On my hard running days to increase endurance and speed, I run 4 miles at 6:30 6:40 pace.

Another one I do is, 10 sets of 100meter sprints, 30 second rest per set

any lowcarb/highfat or keto runners here... curious because about 2 weeks ago i changed up my diet to go full on keto (30c/170f/140p from 330c/40f/140p) and for me atleast my running has improved greatly, and even lost weight (guessing mostly water weight atm). It also seems like I never hit that wall.

[cman1787]

first time doing cardio in a long time. did a mile in about 11:40

i had to walk 100m, jog 100m, then repeat until i finished. thought my legs were going to give out in the beginning lol

[jubjubrsx]

^^gotta crawl before you can walk good job though starting.

[BtchW8]

Did my 3rd 5K yesterday, got to 26:59 and roughly 8 pounds lighter than last months, so progression so far in the past 2 months has been 252 bw 31min, 235 bw 29 min, 224 bw 26:59.

Not sure when the next one will be, I want to work on increasing my mileage per week for a few months and usually I can't run a few days before/after a 5K. But happy with the progress, thanks brahs!

which GPS watch do all of you guys that have one use?

I know its not a full on runners watch, but been eyeballing the vivoactive HR and the forerunner 235... kind of leaning to the vivoactive just because its more of a all around smart watch.

I use a TomTom Runner, pretty cheap and works ok. The pace /km is a bit off but I am ok with that

Will incorporate into on Running days. The Sprint/Jog reminds me of Fartlek training.

How effective is the parachute training for Sprints?

[ScaleAndSteel]

I consider running my "base" for whatever training I am into and I change every 6 months or so. Some times I am into bodybuilding, some times ironman training, some times mma training, etc...

Running is always my base for whatever I am into though.

I bought a 2nd hand garmin forerunner 405 and worked well....basic but that's all I needed. Unfortunately the battery won't last more than 2 hours now so will look for something newer now. Suunto for me I think.

Sam diego marathon in 4 days...nerves kicking in now but excited.

Also did some shipping at an asics outlet store and damn we get ripped off royally on everything

good luck on the SD marathon, I've done the RnR SD marathon it was one of my favorites, lot of drunkards passing out booze and such, and when you hit little mexico...just heavenly smelling.


edit: i know alot of people dont like runnersworld and even less like the treadmill here but daaaaayyyyyuuum. its hard enough running a 10k on a treadmill.

Twelve hours into the run, Proctor had completed 139.2 kilometers, or 86.49 miles, besting the previous 12-hour treadmill record, set in February, by 6.3 kilometers.
Then he kept going.
Twelve hours later, he had his second record. In covering 260.4 kilometers (161.81 miles), he outdistanced the mark of 160.24 miles set in 2004. To do so, he had to average about 8:54 per mile.

I'm really looking forward to it...aside from getting a stomach bug yesterday and spent all night vomiting. Race is up in the air now. Hopefully my energy comes back soon.

How many calories do you all eat with the amount of running you do? Im going to start running 10 miles 5 days a week so idk how much ill have to eat. Normally i eat around 2600-2700 to maintain lol

that's a lot of running, why that specific program? how much do you currently run?

[LoadedWraps]

So never see any threads around here about people going on runs so let's have one. If this generates enough interest could make it into a crew.

Running is a really great way to keep fit and in shape. I've done a half marathon in 2011 which was great after 4 months of running. Now I'm just running 3 miles three times a week.

If you have a smartphone a brilliant app to download and that is free is Endomondo

/In.

Run about 20-30 miles a week, don't lose gains.

Running is a way of life. Plus it adds stamina when you are shanking a sloot.

I know its not a full on runners watch, but been eyeballing the vivoactive HR and the forerunner 235... kind of leaning to the vivoactive just because its more of a all around smart watch.

Last year, I almost bought vivoactive instead of the forerunner 225. The only reason stopped me from buying vivoactive was the overwhelming report of lagging issue in the forum which I abhor. I can't imagine having to deal with the lag issue like the one I have with S3.

Forerunner 225 is a nice running watch. I get to read cadence(spm), heart rate (HR zone/bpm), distance, timer and pace while I am running,especially now that I am trying to work on my cadence. It motivates me to take part in more runs, as I get to see the very minimal improvement that I made in each run.There are also workouts that you can download, too.

Anybody have recommendations on a lifting routine to follow so I can recover, my deadlifts seem to be suffering. Went from 315x4 to maybe 2 on a good day (though I've lost 30 pounds).

Run and lift MWF on the treadmill around 3 miles each - Friday is more of a light paced easy jog MW are a little more up tempo.

Saturday is a long run 12-13 miles.

T,Th I do kettlebell work.

Would like to train for Half Marathon.

Appreciate any advice, Thank you.

TBH, I don't think you need to worry that much about a HM unless you are looking to race it.

I personally subscribe to Coach Jay's philosophy, easy days easy, hard days hard. So I just do my weights after cardio. Usually a morning run then weights in the evening. Long run is a workout in itself but I'd do some BW stuff after. Run 5-6 days a week. 3-4 days easy, 1 day long and 1 quality sesh a week.

So for your case, depending on how intense your KB work is, I'll just do your lifts on MWF.

Of course Lyle, I don't why I didn't think Lyle. Thanks.

I want to Race a half.

I want to PL

I want to compete KB (although it's really hard to find in NC)

Ideally I would be into morning run and afternoon weights, but in the city I hate dealing with traffic.

KB training is short but intense, usually more upper body than lower. Just a 15:15 protocol of snatches.

You gotta choose 1 and prioritize it. sorta like periodization mang.

I wouldn't advise alex viada stuff though. I mean it looks sexaye and stuff, but his claims are..... let's say dubious.

perhaps you can check out crossfit endurace, at least he has some credible results.

[PSVita]

i just started running yesterday, did 5km yesterday and 5km today, think today my time was around 29 mins. Had to walk for a minute or so to recover at one point then carried on.

Goal is sub 25 mins tho.

Sup brahs.

Need some good running shoes that can handle 40 miles a week.

you should just goto a store and find some comfortable shoes, everyones stride is different, foot strike, so many variables that not one shoe fits everyone.

Stopped running on the treadmill, ran outside again for the second time. I'm not running as consistent as I use to, usually going weeks at a time before I run again since I dropped a good amount of weight. I could only manage 1 mile in 8:42 before my breathing went down hill. The last time I ran outside it was 9:22/mile for 3 miles with various breaks in between. Going to try and run more often not sure how long it will be before I adapt to running outside.
