Matoi Ryuko posted:Like, some days I will be walking everywhere with a really bad limp because of muscle sorness and what not, but the soreness never effects my running stride. It's like I broke my ability to walk, but I can still jog normally. Do you use a foam roller? I found that plus getting a lot of sleep helps. ---------------- |

Foam roller is great on feet, a trick I learned from a doctor who was a big runner is to take a cold beer or soda can and roll it on sides and bottom of your feet, works like a charm for inflamation.

I.N.R.I posted:i doubt theres any way you can sit on a mountain bike that would damage your arms .. its probably more like he just doesnt ride often and the muscles arent being used. my triceps were sore for about a week when i came back from a broken hip a couple of years ago Had a patient a couple years ago who had wrist pain and numbness from cycling a couple hundred miles a week, he was on a road bike, but i imagine same thing could happen on a mountain bike. ---------------- |

I.N.R.I posted:i think climbing alone is good enough. its a great way to exercise in general. stretching is most important for sports with limited motion like running and cycling, and especially for people who dont do anything at all. what do you think about the studies that came out a couple years ago saying stretching before running increases your chances of injury? This is a mediocre article but it touches on it http://www.runnersworld.com/start-running/should-i-stretch-before-or-after-my-runs I stopped stretching before running and only stretch after long runs (5+ miles) and haven't any injuries save for a couple minor ones in about 5 years, Im also super strict about my form and use my first mile or two as a slow warm up though |

GoodbyeTurtles posted:I suck at pacing myself until I'm warmed up when I run. I had a lot of trouble with it when i first got into running, if you have to force yourself to jog or airborne shuffle if you know what that is, I found using runkeeper or a garmin makes it a lot easier |

GoodbyeTurtles posted:I listen to a little DnB which is great for sprints & usually pumps me up to run at my racing pace, but it's easy to get a little carried away on a long run. Ive never used to but ive heard using a hrm is really helpful for that |

Matoi Ryuko posted:Their testing is only somewhat stringent. Only cool divisions like the rangers or whatever have stringent physical testing. The testing is the same across the board, special units just have barriers to entry called "schools" that require you to do weird or difficult things before joining their unit. Also Ive ran an 11:40 2-mile as a smoker and knew a smoker who was on the all army 10 mile team. (Competitive team of some of the best runners in the army) Not saying that smoking doesnt gently caress your run up but you can still be fast or have endurance while being a smoker. |

Matoi Ryuko posted:I think it's really important to have a solid core workout that remains part of your gameplan, and it's extra important for each person to find what works for them best. I did a half as a smoker and came in 8th out of 2 or 300 hundred but the moral of the story is i probably would have came in 3rd or 4th if I wasnt. |

Piso Mojado posted:yeah but what do you think those results would look like in 5 years time? the fact of the matter is many of the people going through training are too young to have been smoking long enough to really have suffered long term, rate limiting effects. Id been smoking for over 5 years at the time lol |

let i hug posted:i wish i was fast. also consistent about my running. gently caress the winter/being busy, though. hopefully reading about people being active will guilt me into it All you have to do is run a lot and make sure you have good form, unless you want to be a professional athlete or something its literally that simple |

youre not gaining any muscle your body is just learning how to use its muscles better, actual muscle growth takes months to years, and not on gear its only realistic to gain 12-14 lbs of muscle a year max edit: keep up on trying tho, i went from being able to only do 2 or 3 pull ups to 15-17 in about 6 months a good way to iimprove is to jump to get up then lower yourself as slowly as possible and repeat until you cant lower yourself without falling |

let i hug posted:I want to get back into long distance running too but it's honestly just too hard to motivate myself with lovely winter weather Unless you live in Antarctica or something just wear and long sleeve a light jacket track pants and gloves and a beanie itll suck at first but youll want to take off your hat from being too hot after a mile or two source: running in korea, afghanistan, kansas, colorado, and oklahoma in the winter months |

Rusty Staub posted:i started lifting dumbbells again this week after like a year of being lazy, mostly as an excuse to eat a chocolate/mint protein bar afterward Lol when I was running 50 miles a week I'd skip breakfast and eat a snickers marathon bar for lunch then devour an entire pizza by myself for dinner |

Matoi Ryuko posted:That's what I do every day... It's awesome but I would not recommend it if you're actually trying to obtain competitive results wrt training, I mostly just wanted to eat pizza all the time and binge drink on the weekend without getting fat. When I switched my diet to "healthy" food (shitload of greens and nuts and occasionally some carbs/sugars) I got a lot faster and my runs got a lot easier. |

I.N.R.I posted:nobody is except for people who live at altitude. it takes about 2 months of hard training to adjust yeah it takes your body 90 days at altitude to produce the additional red blood cells to make up for your bodys inability to absorb as much oxygen due to oxygen pressure difference, this is why Kenyans are really good runners and why the us olympic training center is located in colorado springs (right by pikes peak) i actually pass it every day on the way to work and im super jealous of the insane training they probably get |

alnilam posted:One time I went on a three day backpacking trip at 6-10k feet and the first day I was expecting major altitude issues but nope i felt really good all day we even made better mileage than planned and suddenly after we set up the tent for the night I suddenly felt like poo poo and I felt like I was getting sick and I was terrified that I would really get sick and have a hard time hiking up and down mountains with all of my stuff on my back for two more days and then I realized it was probably just the altitude so i went to sleep and the next morning I felt wonderful lol u could have died btw https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude_sickness |
