Running?

Post Reply New Topic

I used to be a distance runner...start running 10 miles regularly. You'll be chillaxed 24/7 like it's no one's business.*





*Disclaimer: you'll also wreck your knees and hips. Yeah, it sucks.

I enjoy watching women run. Beautiful.

If you go from zero to ten miles regularly, yeah, you'll wreck your knees and hips. Most people usually have a training plan that works them up to that distance (or beyond) and it can be done injury free. Running injuries can be avoided if you train well and listen to your body.

Also, back to the original topic, I'm a runner. I normally do 20-30 miles a week; more if my race schedule calls for it. Usually a couple of shorter, hard efforts during the week and then a two or three hour effort on the weekends. I normally run trails (not the paved kind) and I think it's the best therapy I've ever had.

Running makes me feel good - something about the repetative rythm that's just right.

i don't like running (bad knees already) but i love biking and rowing (on water, i have a love/hate relationship with my erg)

when i can i bike to school (about 20mi) or go for a long bike ride (25-30mi each way) every once in a while. i'm also doing a ride with the ottawa bike club this summer, it's about 110mi each way .

i hear ya about the cardio thing. sometimes, when i'm feeling particularly masochistic, i'll hop on the erg and do stupid amounts of cardio. one day i rowed a 30km piece, another day i did 5000m fast, followed by 10,000m of intervals, for a couple of examples.

Running is the greatest thing any one peron can do!! !! !! !! !! !! It's my aspie obsession to the point of overdoing ti and injuring myself. Cross training sucks because my bike sucks.

Someone asked about how far people run. Some elite marathons run about 140mi a week, more or less. I started running too much at the beginning of the year, going from 10-20mi a week to 70 because I stopped playing video games and napping.

Joining tracks teams and running local races is the most probable way I could connect socially. I get incredible highs while cruising through an 11mi run. I could type for so many hours about running, my experiences and whatnot.

I run with the track team at school and most nights we run about 5km during our training sesssions, alternating between sprinting jogging and running...
I love to run, you dont need to think about it at all it you are running on the track. you can just put all the thought to the back of your mind and run!
my track coach and i agree its a wierd calm because physically my body screams but mentally i am smiling. she notices the difference between me right after my last class to two hours later after practice.
