Eminem ran 17 miles a day to beat drug addiction and lose weight

[jerniebert]

Insanity was actually dope to me.

I absolutely hate running... it's boring as fukk even though I still believe it is the quickest way to losing weight and getting in great shape. Used to run laps around my neighborhood as a kid at night dribbling a basketball and got in great shape within 2-3 months

I'm not much of a swimmer so I don't know much about that.


I loved insanity though. Used to do it with a group of friends after work or for PT

Yeah I like insanity as well. I just find it harder then running. I got into the best shape of my life and my jumping is the best it's ever been after insanity. I never really had much jumping ability but after insanity I was able to get the rim on a basketball court. Still can't dunk but I'll get there even though I'm a 40 year old 5'11" mexican.

I don't understand how people claim to be living a super unhealthy life style, and they just start doing shyt like this out of the blue.

17 miles on a treadmill is like 8 miles on solid ground (no pun intended). Its really not that insane.

huh? how does it magically reduce when you're on land

I did it for no real reason but not to the level he did. I was 35 close to 5'9 250, started running (never had before) and got down to like 170. I was doing 3-4 miles 4-5 times a week. Just randomly happened.

, It took me a while to build up, I just meant that I started running out of the blue.

It's not that incomprehensible.

A lot of unhealthy things that people do are a reaction to stress. When people like this, that are already highly driven, find a stress relief method that is more effective (exercise) they OD on it the same way they were doing with drugs before.

Dave Chappelle was just on Colbert and referenced the exact same thing.
Colbert asked him how he got the muscles and Chappelle said that he originally hit the gym to try and get rid of the stress and just kept going and going.

If he was running every day that's 119 miles a week. I'm gonna go ahead and say this is duck tales cause the fastest cross country runner I knew in college never went past 80 miles a week. There's no way Em did that without getting injured every other week.

He was smart enough to know his limits.......................

Article said "at times" he would run "up to" 17 miles.

When I was 18 I would regularly jog for 2 hours, about 12 miles for me, just listening to Reasonable Doubt on repeat. Lost a bunch of weight like that. It's not impossible.

BeachBody needs to cut Em a check.

 

[Bboystyle]

I fukks with that body beast workout.

Ive never heard this before.

So 1 mile is really like 2?

Then how come it takes the same amount of time to run?

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

I think mentally and physically running outdoors is better.

 

[Take It In Blood]

dope, now all he has to figure out is how to beat that accelerated cac aging and he'll be straight


Never thought I'd see the day where Eminem of all people....is a 40+ yr old man


Something seems off in the universe
