Hello /roon/
I'm a fat bulky MF (6ft - 260lbs) but I have excellent cardio due to running every other day a few km with my dogs (pic rel).
However as soon as I try to increase mileage and/or speed, my right hip starts to hurt and I have discomfort in it for a few days. Any tips beside the obvious (lose weight?) but it's puzzling it's only the right hip and not the left one.

>increase mileage and/or speed
how much of an increase?

>>77197935
My regular run is a 4km loop that is 70% road and 30% wooded trail. I do it between 25-28mins (depends also on how much the dogs wants to pause to sniff and piss), but as soon as I try to push myself to ensure I do it in less than 25 mins, pain.

ABANDONED my track session after 2 reps. Had no legs at all. HR was still low but legs were completely dead. Happens sometimes after a rest day. fuggit live to fight another day

>>77197775
It looks good, but I’m gonna judge you for buying the $150 tshirt with holes in it.

If you feel a clunking sensation/hear a click when you move your right leg, you may have "snapping hip syndrome"

God bless your tracking autism, but to what end is all this data keeping when it has taken four years to get a sub 30 5k. You need to put some tempo runs or hill runs or SOMETHING in rather than plinking along at a 9:00 pace for days

>>77199247
Thank you, I don't really have a reason other than I like making spreadsheets
I'm coming back from an injury (not really healed, it still hurts), but I'll do some tempo runs when I can. I was a lot faster over the summer when I did a HM. I don't do intervals because that (and the cold) is what gets me injured. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of good hills around here, they all involve running very close to traffic. There are good flat trails though.

>what distance runners really look like
https://youtu.be/wppD5DIO0X0

I am thinking of a 30 day challenge. I don't run because every time i try to do running, after a few weeks i just can't recover from pushing myself too hard.

5km a day, staying in zone 2, 30 days.
should i run 5k as fast as i can before and after this? or just stick to zone 2 because it's all i intend to do?

My feet and achilles are always fucking killing me at the end of my long runs. Did a 13 miler today and still feel like I have plenty of energy but my footstrike really starts getting affected by the end of it. Is it just how it is?

>>77199492
Seems like a bad idea especially if it's every day. I takes like 6 months to really get acclimated to a point where you can run every day without moving towards an injury. Just stick with 3 days a week until you're really set with that.

The intensity doesn't really matter. Most of the times I've been injured over the years aren't from the hard stuff it is from volume increases or frequency increases. With how abrupt and quick performance falloff follows an injury it's just better to play it safer the more injury prone you are.

You can prevent injuries by doing strength work

A lot of people less fit than you have done a marathon. I did one where my longest run in training was a half. This was stupid. DO NOT do this. But it can be done.

>>77200490
Training is long and you will build up your conditioning. most plans max around 18-22 so you probably won’t end up like. >>77200531
But yeah, marathons are tough. There’s definitely more of a mental side to it as well. I’ve read somewhere that with this new “running boom” places are starting to see half’s fill up like the major marathons. A lot of people have done their marathons and don’t want to do spend several months doing a train block and a week recovery. Training is shorter and they are cheaper, so you can do a few per year.

I think my progress is good since I only started running in November and I'm confident I could probably do a half-marathon since there will be water and snacks. I may start carrying gels with me because I was fucking gassed at like mile 7 and I don't ever plan to do longer stuff, both with cycling and running I go out, feel good and once I get a number ion my head I do it. I also should probably start tracking my calories again because I hate eating and everything involved in the process so I know I'm never getting enough but that's a future me problem.

Wrapped up winter training with today’s marathon. 3:45 on the dot, approx 7 minutes slower than Fall’s PR. Very melancholic at the whole thing. Traveled and put down a decent amount of money for this race which I was hoping would be a neat experience, but ultimately was pretty lonely as I was battling horrific jetlag and realized I couldn’t actually get out and do anything or eat anything special beforehand. Think I’m going to just do the local race come fall and see if I can crack 3:15

Not really. I purposefully slowed down around the midway point, and I had two brief moments of walking around mile 23 where I needed to catch my breath, but I never “walled” to the point that I was having to repeatedly cycle between walking and jogging

tourist here, been rooning for almost a year now,
I can do 10k with one short break in the middle and being really comfortable with 0 pain

>Question
why bother doing more than 10k?
any realistic health benefits?

10k at medium speed, I am panting, and in some areas I go max and there are some uphills also,
I don't want to fuck my legs and feet, like when I first started running?

nothing I've seen say you get any benefits for long distance running,
more like I've seen the opposite, like you are damaging your body and wear out your cartilage etc

>>77203075
>almost a year
>I can jog two 5ks
>I am panting

Maybe instead of watching youtube videos, apply yourself and become enlightened. No cares if you choose not to run further. But if you want to argue the things that you've seen, be sure you've done them first.

>>77203122
10k with a 2 minute stop to drink water and cool down a bit.
I am 70kg lean, strong legs as I come from cycling.
no pain now, no sore legs, no nothing,
yes I pant because of the uphills and I do go max in a few sections just for the sake of it.


why do you people run for long long distances.
>>77203135
I get it, it is fun.

but injury does come in eventually, everyone has a limit,
david goggins blew his knees,
and all long marathoners don't have knees or feet anymore, 50yo and all in pain

so why fuck bother running past a ""perfectly good cardio""
that's my thoughts anyways

>>77203136
then do it

>>77203149
honestly mb for trying to have a friendly discussion on here don't know what i was thinking

>>77203136
sometimes I do 10x400m reps which isn't exactly sprintable but I'm running fast

>>77203075
people just run to run bro

silly living life just trying to max out these benefits when like 90% of this stuff people try to lifemaxx on isnt science backed

>>77203136
Most rooners incorporate intervals at some point in their cycle but they're still midfoot striking; it's never a full blown sprint unless you're specifically training for 100-200m.

>>77203075
I wouldn't bother doing more than 10k if running wasn't my main priority and I wasn't training for a race. Just to stay fit and get some cardio in 10k is more than enough.
But to actually improve and reach your potential in distances 5k and up you would need to be running more.

>>77203147
>and all long marathoners don't have knees or feet anymore, 50yo and all in pain
why lie?

>>77203373
kek, yep utter bullshit. Steve Monaghetti pulled a fucking 00:15:52 5km at 60 years old

>>77203147
acting as though no one here has been to a race or run club and witnessed ancient boomers still running pain free. Goggins knees were fucked before he even started running ultras and thats a midwit argument since his whole brand was overtraining despite pain, which is the opposite advice widely given.

>>77203136
Yes moved to sprinting due to beta blockers making distance running unpleasant (limits HR so can't go fast for long). Training is different and you need flat ground, grass or a track to go really quick safely.

>>77203225
Distance groups at my club will do flat out work occasionally during summer. These are athletes that will do 800-5k and steeplechase in summer, road 5-10k and cross country other times. IME, can cause DOMS in hamstrings and core (can't lift your legs) if you do it too quickly after serious mileage.

>>77203438
Boomer here (gen X ackchewerly). Genetics and past history play a role. Some people are going to have cartilage problems however careful they are. Others just won't whatever training they do.
Playing other sports with a risk of twisting when younger (football, rugby) can set up some issues which running exposes later in life. Older sprinters are not immune to this as impact forces are much higher even if number of cycles is way lower.
If you are careful and listen to your body - don't run when injured, wear appropriate footwear and add some strength training, conditioning and flexibility, you can keep running and not wreck your knees.

>>77203075
don't care I don't run for the health benefits

>>77197510
Is it really necessary to stay in zone 2 if I want to be able to run a fast 5k? I'll do it if there is no other way, but I find it really boring.
My current best time is around 26 minutes.

>>77203553
Not really necessary but it’s a big part of building up your aerobic base.
Essentially, zone 2 works your muscles by using oxygen to create energy. The more you do, the more efficient your body gets taking in oxygen and moving blood to your legs.
Sprints/tempo/hills/speed training is to build up your anaerobic base. It’s using built in stores in your muscles to run.
The rule of thumb is 70-80% of your miles should be zone 2/easy with the rest being harder anaerobic exercise. That’s just a guide though and so is zone 2. Don’t be an autist over zone 2 either. If you feel your run is easy don’t worry if you are 2BPM over zone 2

>>77203553
I started running six months ago, ran (jogged) in zone 2 three times in all that time, still got under 25 min 5K.

The point of easy runs that you can run a lot of miles while still being able to recover enough to run 2-3 quality days per week, if you're only running 3x/week there's probably no point making any of them easy

she’s a dog walker and walks this much. it seems to have helped her. a lot.

>>77204882
Ok, that makes sense. I can do 30 minutes, but it sort of kicks my ass. So a little more work to do

>>77204886
ask other people, i don’t actually know.

it’s just the impression i’ve gotten from a few local clubs around me. could be different around you.

>>77204850
i do get laid, i’m married
i’m just flirting with these girls for spot

sub 18 (assuming you're male and under 40)

>>77204934
lmao in most social run clubs, there might be five guys who can sub-18. maybe fewer.
and no tryhard is running a 17:45 at run club, they’re running at 8.5 minute miles to chat with the bitches.

I found a soccer ball on my 7k, tried to keep pace while kicking it along a field. Running in the suburbs in the evening made it fun too since I could run and kick it along the sidewalk

>>77204873
depends on the club. my club is very large and we have different groups for different levels but even the slowest casual group would be under 30 min. they probably race at about 5 min pace and train at 6min/km

legs are back after DNF last session

Lately I've been spending an hour or two sitting in bed and reading or playing video games. I feel like running's gotten easier, for some mysterious reason.

>>77205223
ask your wife if flirting for sport is unfaithful and get back to me

You're flirting, not talking.

order some adidas "swimming shorts" just because they were cheap (6 euro)
they're basically just a normal pair of running shorts that would cost 40 euro. delighted.

zone 2 training is like magnets
how the fuck does it work

Hi /roon/, I’ve running everyday for a week and I have managed to see some progress, using a heart rate belt I measured my max at 205 bpm, 75% of that would be 153 bpm which is the pace I’ve tried to keep all this time. While the progress is great and all these runs feel easy I would like advice from more experienced runners if I should keep going like this or maybe add a rest day, should I keep the goal distance (12km/day) or modify it, none of this is fast running btw so I’d appretiate tips on how much tempo distance should I add.

Hi guys I wanted to say thank you for the recommendation to start the “Couch to 5k” program. I’ve been trying to get after it to not embarrass myself running a 5k with a family member at the end of the month. It’s Apple Watch data, so take with a grain of salt, but I (allegedly) was able to run a 5k this afternoon in 29:35. I’m now looking forward to next weekend, rather than being terrified about embarrassing myself… And further, as I continue to get into shape, I’m thinking about joining a local run club in the summer to make some new friends. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction and helping me get started.

First marathon on Saturday. Going for 2:59 or better. I am losing my mind tapering

>>77205392
i’m obviously taking my wife on the weekend trip
i’m just having some fun with y’all

>>77202988
Back today and ran an easy 12 miles to take my mind off it. Love me big miles. Hoping to get back up to 50+ miles a week asap.

>>77205552
>everyday
Mec...
Age, weight, how long have you been running?

>>77205552
one week is no time at all. keep doing what you're doing for another few weeks. build up a solid base then you can try NSM. sounds like it would be perfect for you since you are disciplined and stick to pace and hr unlike most clowns (myself included) who run too fast

>>77205688
Good training that. Try to get up near the front on the start line. I got stuck in traffic in my first marathon and ended up dong the first km 15 seconds slower than goal pace.

>>77204811
damn are running clubs really THIS spicy?

Saw 3 buns today, and some geese, and some ducks in unusual places. One was just enjoying a puddle. It looked gross.
It's been cold, wet, and windy lately... I'm ready for spring to arrive. We had a false spring a couple weeks ago, and it was nice, but I want REAL SPRING
I want to see cute runner girls in tight shorts!

>>77206409
They are sprinting to get that pace, then stopping while their heart rate lowers and not recording the idle time, so it looks like their pace is insane

>>77206519
lol sprinting 6 min kms

>>77206532
yes.

>>77206519
>Not recording the idle time
Do people seriously do this? How do you even know how long your rest was if your watch is paused?

>>77206532
We use miles here.

>>77206590
u dum

>>77206590
garmin and strava always report elapsed time, whether or not you stop your watch

>>77206590
The watch auto pauses when they are walking or standing still on recovery between intervals. It's very annoying for stalker nerds like me who want to examine all your splits.

How do I stop my wife from heelstriking when walking in the house?

>>77206725
Heel strikers have to be beaten with pillow case full of potatoes

okay nevermind went to run club yesterday and realized that the 28-year-old is straight up crazy.

she gets blackout drunk and gives herself stick-and-poke tattoos, spent a few years following the grateful dead, and will stay put getting drunk until 5AM on work days.

she’d be a wild fuck but she’d 100% ruin my life.

she switched to my corral and said wants to run our upcoming marathon together - should i do it?

this is /roon/

>>77206916
how long has "cock and ball torture" been a part of your template?

The weather is getting better now lads. No more excuses. Get out and run. I want everyone breaking 20 for a 5k by the end of the summer.

>>77206590
>idle time
You guys stop running?
When I start I don't stop until the end, even if I'm doing intervals, unless I get like, a fucking rock in my shoe less than 5 minutes in or what, otherwise I just put up with it.

>>77207194
me either. i troon slower instead.

>>77207194
I walk my recoveries most of time. Particularly if I'm doing a hard session. If it's slower reps then I will jog the recovery.

>>77207194
I pause my watch if I'm stuck at a red light, and I press the lap button when I walk between intervals. But that's just so that I can time my rest.

>>77207233
Such a trivial thing to get annoyed about but I hate cunts who don't use the lap button. Are you a simpleton lad? just press the button

>>77207194
I stand still between intervals and pause is the only way to see how many seconds i have rested

>>77207222
>>77207233
>>77207267
I see. For my recoveries I just yeah like >>77207202 run slower instead. I don't bother timing with the watch or the lap button, it's just set to buzz when it's time to run 800m or time to recover 400m after.

Started off too fast, let my HR get too high. And it was cold out, so that was probably a mistake.
Saw 5 or 6 buns, and some ducks had walked up onto the trail.
Also saw some women walking by, one of them put her hand up shield her eyes, I guess I am so disgusting and ugly and horrific looking that she couldn't bare to see me.
