Normally I wouldn't bump something this old, but since it's a sticky I don't particularly care that much. |

You're supporting the joints. Those don't get stronger. Too much stress on the joints is really really bad, and too much on the muscles can pull them. And running distance is very hard on the legs, so you want as much support as possible. |

White girl, you can ask her what the dick be like
And monster madness doing drive-bys on a fuckin fixie bike
Fuck it moron, snortin oxycontin, wearin cotton,
Oxymoron like buff faggots playin sissy dykes
You can't keep that up for very long, it's impossibly hard on the calves, ankles, and achilles tendons. Your stride isn't correct if you can land on your toes, if you're landing on your toes you're too far forward. You shouldn't be on your toes for more than a mile, and that's at 4:30 pace. Anything over a 5 minute pace should be on your heels. |

Cool, thanks. |

In small amounts, it's good, I do it all the time. But do it somewhere soft, grass or sand. The ankles can't take a ton of impact. |

Ran 5 miles today. The cold weather empowers me! |

I had a question about the way I walk. I've been told since I was little that I walk weird. My grandfather calls it flatfooted, but I don['t know if that's what it is. I tend to walk, stand, and run on the inside of my feet rather than the outside. I've been told everything from "it could cause you to need leg braces" to "some of the fastest Olympic runners are flat-footed". So, what can you tell me about this? |
|
Being flat footed has nothing to do with how you run or walk, it's just how your arches are. You need to get flat-footed shoes, but they're easy to find (easier than finding ones with high arches like I use.) |
|
You only need to start small. Modern shoes have drastically weakened our feet, so I don't find it surprising a runner like yourself would be skeptical of such thing. One attempt at a barefoot jog could leave your feet sore for a week! After a few weeks maybe even months of build up you would be able to run the same distance barefoot. It has much less impact on the knees, hips, and lower back and uses much less energy. Heel striking running generally results in over developed quads and under developed calves and hamstrings. |

Hi Everyone, |
|
You don't want to do any long distance running if you are weight training. Endurance activities will turn your short/fast twitch muscle fibers into long/slow twitch muscle fibers. Essentially you would be sacrificing explosive strength for endurance which is not good for weight training. However, sprinting/HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is a VERY good addition to any weight training routine and will also give you good cardio while improving the explosive strength developed from weight training. |
|
oye ninja! I just wanted to let you know I can do 3, 5 minute rounds of fairly intense sparring (both on the ground and standing up) consistently now ^^. but now that Im out of college, I need to do something to stay in shape and there isnt a martial arts place around me at home anymore |

Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.
Yes, but start slow as stabilizer muscles that you use when running may be atrophied, so give it a week of just jogging before running. |
|
Alright. I bought myself a pair of well-fitting running shoes today, planning to start excercising tomorrow. I haven't practiced any actual sports in 3 years, some would argue I'm slightly overweight and the craziest activity I've done lately is probably some short 1 mile runs every second weekend. |

Cool thread. I'll have to read it over again maybe tomorrow |

Yes, doing short sprints dramatically increase your VO2 Max, this will increase your endurance by quiet a bit. |

Getting things wrong since '91
===================
Any stretching examples for us? |
|
I didn't see this. Here you go, this girl is using good technique in all of these stretches, and are the most common for runners |
|
Thanks for this thread. Its always good to keep up on information about excercise, to get the most out of it. I'm a runner and I usually do about an hour every other day. |

As riverboy and someone else already mentioned, barefoot running is preferable over running in shoes. I read about the raramuri tribe and saw a Christopher McDougall talk and am even more convinced by my own experiences. I used to run in running shoes and had the common ailments, however, when I switched to minimal shoes these ailments disappeared! It takes some time to get your muscles and skin to adjust but it's certainly worth it in the long run. Even the big company's are making minimal shoes these days. |

If today is today, then what was yesterday's last week's yesterday's next week's day after tomorrow?
