How many RUNNERS are in here...? Thoughts on a coli #trackteam?

[JP_614]

I RUN 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK USUALLY ON THE TRACK AFTER A WORKOUT IM DEPLOYED NOW SO I HAVE TO USE THE TREDMIL
UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN LATER THIS YEAR

 

[JP_614]

I rotate these...3 flyknit lunar 1, 2 fkyknit trainers, and a flyknit racer if indoors (no support!).

Life in seattle has helped a lot...good trails...but i run downtown almost exclusively and the HILLS here have made me a much stronger and conditioned runner...plus the rain has made me conditioned for all weather...i have mad waterproof and weather proof gear i had to bust it out today

How are those flyknit lunars for running outside>>> im thinking about getting those or the free run 5.0

 

[River_trey]

By stregnthening the muscles around my joints. I also dont do many squats or presses or workouts which stress my tendens or joints. That helped a lot.

I only feel knee pain past ten miles, or past say 20 miles in a 3 day period.

I ask because I would always run and I would get pain in my knees sometimes. So I guess just a lot of hamstring stretches and extensions? Only difference is I do compound movements, so I guess ill stick to short distance. I also could never afford those running shoes.

I run outdoors exclusively...so...perfect.

Much better if you run on pavement than a freesole...you will feel more impact in a free than a lunarlon sole for sure.

 

[JP_614]

Anybody do any marathons before?? im more into 5ks the military supports alot of them throught the year for things like breast cancer n stuff

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

I've done 3 halfs, but never a whole. My perfect distance is 10k but i usually do a half once a year....i dont really enjoy that distance anymore the payoff vs the struggle is past what i enjoy

I started running shortly before joining the military, as a way to get in shape for basic training. I ended up liking it a lot, and have continued to run ever since. We run a lot in the Army, but I absolutely HATE formation PT runs with a passion. I love to run outside by myself, preferably on a trail in the woods, it is very relaxing. Oustide of PT, I usually run about three or four days a week at about 4-7 miles a run. I have been running in Asic 2160's or 2170's for years now. Anyone who has Asics, do not attempt to do any activity in them that requires quick stopping and cutting. I'm deployed to Afghanistan and have no basketball shoes, so I've been playing ball in my running shoes. I've torn holes in the sides of two pairs while playing basketball, within a 3 month time period.

The short answer is run more each time you can, but heres a better answer with some questions:

I'm not going to get into weirdo bodytype stuff, but would you consider yourself in shape, in terms of weight/muscle etc? Do you think you need to lose weight?

Do you smoke?

How long have you been running or trying to run?


In terms of advice as i await answer, i would say, add distance (and more importantly, TIME) to each run even if it means you're walking some. If you're at the gym, do INTERVALS. essentially it means do 1-2 minute blocks of running followed by blocks of slower running or walking. It conditions your body to burst type of running and sprinting which is good since you want to be a RB. You'll also increase endurance quickly this way, and you'll be able to lower the down interval (the walk) to 30 sec or so.

When lifting, get your legs and glutes stronger. Lunges with a weight (think like a 40-70lb curl bar) on your shoulders is my favorite...as well as step ups on boxes or stages like a lunge. It will stregnthen your muscles around your legs and give them better conditioning.


I'm not a trainer but this stuff all helped me.

I've been running for a couple months now.

I don't smoke or do anything that would mess up my performance.

I'm in shape and have a muscular build.

I'm going to try the interval running over these next couple weeks to see would that help. Appreciate it fam

Np breh...

Yeah...the intervals or sprint training will help you.

One way i improved 2yrs ago was doing the following workout on a track

Sprint 400 meters....then 300m...then 200m....then 100m...in one "set"....rest..

Do this 4x.

Essentially you sprint 1 lap around a track....walk a 100m...then a 3/4 lap..then a half lap...then just a 100m dash.

You WILL get better over time. And its perfect for being a running back.

To increase your endurance, find your pace. Few months ago, I was not able to run a mile without facing death Run like 2-3 times a week, find the most you can do and stick to that until your body gets used to that distance without passing out. For example, run 1 mile non stop, if you are not tired, next time you will run, move to 1.5 miles, etc... I started that way just doing 1 mile during the summer, now I do 13 miles and not even tired at the end. but don't rush it.

I was a D1 sprinter for 4 years in college. 100, 200, etc. I still run sprints a couple times a week for reps to stay in shape.

Runners, how can i get my endurance up ?

I'm trying to play football next year (RB) and I need to get my endurance up.
I can run for 5 minutes straight, but once the 5min are up I feel like passing out.

You need to get football stamina. So distance jogging isn't going to help. What you need to do is get your cleats and go the the field and do 40-60 yard repeats. So you do a sprint, walk back, then sprint again and so on. The walk back should give you a ~60 second rest which is similar to football. Work your way up to doing more sprints, because this will kick your ass when you're just starting out. Then when you get in better shape, you can reduce the rest time.

Steer clear from distance running because that will sap your explosiveness and make you less reactive. You need to do sprints, run routes, plyometrics and get in the gym and do your squats and lunges etc.

what's your fastest 100, anything beyond 11.00 is suspect....

Like a 10.6-10.7

I did better at the 200 though, which was ~22 seconds I think.

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

I want to do some sprinting but I don't live near an outdoor track beside the one at Seattle Pacific University which is on lock usually or in use.

my GOAT run was the 2012 Lake union 10k at 48:22

not legendary but remarkable for me
