What the fuck is it with people that have to tell the world about the running events they did?!! Facebook, twitter, newspapers, t-shirts, work....I live in the midwest and this has become a feeding ground for out of shape fucktard narcissists. Fucking overweight spandex rangers wanting a pat on the back every time they go for a jog.
Then we are supposed to act like they are warriors because they are limping around from fucking up their knees and ankles...meanwhile they didn't reduce body fat at all.
-
It is also a prerequisite for anyone who has lost a significant amount of weight to enter a 10k ::)

The family was at Disney World last year while there was a marathon...buses were full of people with their running outfits on and had bags of ice taped to their knees...every time these shitheads exited the bus they were greeted with mobs of people giving them applause.
For what, causing a surge in medical cost with knee surgeries...what a bunch of warriors ::)
My neighbor pulls up the other day and yells out "aren't you proud of my sister? she just did the marathon"...her sister was gimping like a cripple.
I am surrounded by this shit >:(

They deserve it. If they are in that amount of pain they didn't train properly in the first place. They are probably so damn fat and their gait is so fucked which results in all their knee issues.

Trail running is healthier because you are running on a natural and cushioned surface, not pounding the pavement repetitively.
-
i hate when people post running a Marathon today, and its only 2k? 5? 10k LOL , those aren't fucking Marathon .
thats like a typical bodybuilder cardio morning burn before hitting the squats

I just had a client go through his third compartment syndrome surgery. This last one last week was a full fasciectomy with complications on both legs. He almost lost one leg.

Beats losing a kidney

Most runners have anxiety problems and stomach problems from holding in their shit for too long...Never trust a person who won't have a beer with ya and who holds in their waste.

Walk, don't run!

I hate cyclist in groups even more. Specially on Sunday if you are on PCH or some shit

yes losing a leg is a common side effect from running. ::)

No, but compartment syndrome is.

;D if you weigh over 200 lbs you shouldn't run. :'(

It's a Facebook thing. The exercise-shy public associates running with some of the toughest physical endurance competitions (marathons, triathlons, olympic games) with running. So every moron who takes a jog around the local park is suddenly tapping into that rich vein of ignorance through their audience's acclamation of their "hard work" and "motivation."

Pure narcissism.
I know of a girl who basically never exercised her whole life and now at the age of 30 posts a million times a day about all running gear she's bought and the inspirational "I'm a warrior" bullshit that goes with.
Another guy I know will occasionally go out there and "help the poor" by filling up a few soup bowls or whatever but it's blatantly obvious it's really more about himself and the 157 photos he had taken of himself posing in the hour or so he was there.

Ironically, I actually had to explain that to this other girl I knew the other day but she had the hardest time grasping the concept of 26.2 miles = a marathon.
I suppose it was just so deeply ingrained in her head by listening to the rest of the morons she hangs out with who have zero grasp of measurement.

This same soup kitchen, "do gooder" asshole I was talking about posted a million pictures of himself carrying around a white dog in a club that matched his white Buddy Holly glasses and White vest. Basically no more than using a live animal for a fashion accessory.

well put!

These aren't runners these are joggers. As someone who has suffered a lot in the past and dedicated herself to running, it sometimes offends me to see people talk about, "just signed up for my first half marathon! Time to get serious about losing this weight!"
I'm like, yeah bitch and you'll be walking half of it, and MAYBE I'll respect you if you run the whole thing, puke afterwards, and spend time taking ice baths.
I get territorial over some of my hobbies.
But now I'm a casual runner. So I can't be as bitchy about this topic as usual.

I remember clearly and it still stands. I don't control peoples lives outside my gym, son. No soft tissue work, no flexibility and went against everything that's in my program except the strength coupled with bad running mechanics, and 5-8 miles runs per day plus hills. Don't even pretend to think you know.

Son? HA HA...your worn out little men could only dream of producing something of the likes of me. All I read was "blah blah blah I am perfect and infallible." Its amazing that all that ego is packed into such a tiny package. Oh, and I don't pretend to think. Ever. Get that through your head old man.
Some Coach...he went against EVERYTHING in your program. Great job "coaching" Joe. Kudos....excellent...wel l deserved golf clap.

Like I said little man, no clue. Can't hold a 42 year old man's hand. And nope, still clean on the injury count.

Little man? I am not the one who has to mind the "You must be this tall..." signs.
What 42 are you referring to? Are you suggesting you want to hold my hand Joe? Is there something you wish to tell everyone?
Let just bow our heads and hope that your "coaching" can bring this man back from the brink.

Road cyclists are terrorists. Their road rage has to be the worst ever. I've seen them accidentally get cut off, then chase cars for miles. When they catch the car, they pound on the door and hood. Bunch of fucking lunatics.

Low body fat means less ass n titties. Runners burn lots of calories, but running itself should firm a butt, if anything.
So it's the lack of fat.

long distance running burns muscle as well ;) , if you want an ass on a woman she has to do some sort of resistance training, sprints etc. where proper hormone cocktail is released and not jogging for hours
muscle gives shape to the body and there's a difference between having an ass and being fit

Running is a great hobby. Doing marathons is a great way to physically and mentally challenge yourself with out having to don posing trunks or wear posing oil.

Many of these runners who run in groups are needy people who want to be part of a "community."
Just go for a run. Take a shower, and, move on with life.

Muscle breakdown isn't going to happen in your casual runner. It's only going to happen in high level distance runners. Everybody else will have enough energy resources to avoid the breakdown of muscle.
If you want an ass on a woman, she has it genetically or she builds one. Not every woman needs to lift to have an ass. But you'll probably have to lift to have a great one.

LOl! They really are! Also when the invade a restaurant its like 40 of em and they all stagger around like Fred Astaire with his tap shoes. Insanely annoying!To top it of the all look like shit. skinny fat with guts.

I have no issue with runners aside from the Facebook attention-whores although that extends to any form of exercise really.

Unfortunately, your credentials as Ass Expert, must be given to you from taking courses...from
Foremost expert in Assology, Assametrics, Assanometry, Asstronomics, and Applied Asstrophysics. One must write a 4,000 word dissertation on the history of how the love of booty has shaped several Western countries.
That expert is moi.

I run because my career mandates it. And at this age my body is no longer able to pound beers year round(in conjunction w/weight training), and cruise through a 1.5 mile run in a respectable time anymore.
I do hate the social media chest thumpers who think shuffling along at a 1.7 mile per hour pace for 13 miles is something to brag about. More power to them for taking a step I'm the right direction, but geez...that bravado is on par with a dude bragging about satisfying the ladies with a 2.5in girthy cock. ;D
-
Also good sprinters are born not made. Girls with "sprinter ass" would probably still have a nice thick round muscular ass without sprinting. It helps them run fast but they didn't build it from pancake-land by sprinting.

more fast twitch muscle fibers - better potential for a great ass if one decides to work for it, easier to build muscle in general

I don't care if you train right for a marathon ( I didn't for my first two) but anything can go wrong during 26.2 miles. Your body is shot. If you follow training programs of 20 week prep weeks 13 to 18 are brutal. I enjoy half marathons much better and past year have become a much better runner. That picture of the man that pooped every where is an elite runner if I'm not mistaken and was probably pacing to win and didn't want to stop.
I don't knock the5k or 10k runners as running those are my warm ups and I can do them for free on my own. I do an annual charity 5k but money registered goes to the charity.
Running gives some of us that runners high. I can say I love running, it's just me and my headphones.
-

Very true. I run 3 to 4 times a week. 2 running days are 5 to six miles and the other two are 8 or 9 miles unless it's a week before a half then I run twice that week either 10 or 11 miler one day and 3 miler few days before.
I do light weights, heavy reps.

Anyone run on a treadmill?
Looks boring as shite, but I'm to the point where concrete isn't agreeing with the joints and feet, especially in the cold.
How does it compare to outdoor running?

Of course you can build up the ass muscle. Just like you can build your arms through arm exercises. Squats, lunges, deads, cleans and sprinting all work the glute muscle hard.
-
Sprinting is anaerobic and strength-oriented (hence, muscle-developing) and distance running is aerobic and muscle wasting (to a degree).
So chick sprinters have nice asses because ...
Hope this helps.

I'd love to run trails, but, I live in the concrete jungle known as Manhattan. I try to get to the Reservoir in Central Park which is a dirt surface but that's somewhat of a road trip from my apt.

It's generally accepted that to work at the same level as road running you have to run at a 1% incline. So an 8 minute mile on a track equals a 8 minute mile on a 1% incline grade on a treadmill. The difference isn't enough to concern yourself on a treadmill. I usually run all my miles on a treadmill at the first quarter mile (one lap around the track) on level incline. The second on 1%. The third on 2% incline and the last lap back to zero incline. That's just me though.
Cheap treadmills are terrible. The speed is in accurate. They are also too bouncy to make beginner exercisers think they are running on a soft surface but I found that bounce causes injuries. Quality treadmills have some give with out the bounce. Good treadmills manufactures are True, Landice, and a few others. Many of the cheaper home treadmills actually come out of the same factory in China. If you look at them side by side it's unmistakable that two different brands are the same except for some cosmetics.
Some elite runners that live in serious cold climate areas train for months on a treadmill until the weather breaks. Some treadmills can really go quickly and you can do intervals on them like 10 x 400 yards or 6 x 880 yards.
What I found with treadmills is that some just have to many bull shit features. If you are serious about getting into shape do you really need their pre programmed runs? All I want is an excellent surface to run on. That is firm but with a little give. I want an electronic quarter mile track that shows you going around it as you run. I want a simple switch so I can see the speed as pace. I don't care what 8 MPH is. No runner goes to a park and says to another runner let's keep it at 8 MPH. I want to run to pace. So I can say I'm doing a 7 minute mile pace. Most treadmills give you that option. I want the controls to be simple.

Treadmills suck. They basically eliminate that "push off" movement in running. Running on the street is better than running on sidewalk...but I don't know if that's possible for you in Manhattan.

I've always felt like it's easier than running outdoors, probably because it's ideal conditions (no wind, perfect temperature, no unexpected terrain/traffic/pedestrians/bodybuilders to watch out for, can tell exactly how far you've gone / how fast you're going / how much left, easy access to water, etc.).
I can't think of any reason it would be easier on your joints than running outdoors. People talk about running on concrete like it grinds up all your cartilage but I don't think there's any strong or consistent evidence in support of that. Likely comes from people who train stupidly and get hurt and want to blame the problem on something other than themselves.
-

It's possible but it sucks. When you run, you want to think about running and not about getting clipped by a car. This is my running route. It's nice and rarely crowded but the surface you see is Cobblestone which I recently found out is even harder than concrete. Doh!

The path I run is paved but the side of the path is either dirt or gravel. They should think of us runners and about giving us soft surfaces. My path is also only a block away...serenity <3

Running sucks.
Since I fucked up my ankle 13 years ago (some fat girl fell on it in rugby broke ankle, tore achillies, ligaments and calf muscles...) I get horrible pain and clicking ankle if I run any distance. Used to run everywhere, would cycle if too far. I blame bbing as much as the accident.

I would be interested in how you guys combine lifting and running. If I'm lifting heavy my running suffers. If running is going great the lifting goes south.
Today I trained back and delts which included heavy deadlifts. Afterwards I went for a short two mile run. I know on days when I kick it up to a hard 5 miler there is no way I'm lifting heavy weights the day after.
One guy who was ripped up at a local charity 5k race said it all depends on your priorities. He said he wanted to be a good runner with a ripped light physique. He said it's moderate to light weights and train with volume. He said the power stuff I do is just too much if your logging the miles.
-
Hamster wheels suck. If you like to run but weather is crappy just do a small incline never bothers my joints and few years ago while prepping for my second full marathon which was in February most of my training was on the dread mill
Also if joints are an issue I'd go to a specialty runners store get fitted for shoes and inserts may want to consider compression sleeves for calves and shins

I'm with you. I regularly hit up the park on the way home to knock out a mile or 2 after lifting weights but no way in hell would I want to put in 5 or more....especially now with the heat about to ramp.
Maybe for some the solution would be to lift heavy in the winter and get more into running during summertime?

Combining lifting and running in the same workout is going to make one or the other suffer A LOT (depending on which you do first). I've found that neither activity suffers when I'm "fresh." I have better stamina and speed since i've been lifting more frequently. My running doesn't seem to impact my lifting strength, unless I do 8+ miles and it's a day or two after the run.

I'm with you. I regularly hit up the park on the way home to knock out a mile or 2 after lifting weights but no way in hell would I want to put in 5 or more....especially now with the heat about to ramp.
Maybe for some the solution would be to lift heavy in the winter and get more into running during summertime?
would 2 good runs be ideal every week?

Best to run early in the am to before it gets warm that being said I'm glad we have a half mile track in my town but doing a 10 miler there before work will not be fun I'm legit running in circles
-

Yeah that could work.
But like oldtimer said, running 5 miles(especially now where we'll start seeing 90+ degrees) then cranking out a heavy deadlift session is pretty damn tough.
And for alot of people who are trying to make strength gains in the gym, that feeling of knowing your strength levels are compromised because of the cardio work put in brings a somewhat demoralized feeling when those dumbbells/barbells begin to feel heavier.
-

Find whatever mileage works best for your body. I find that 25mi/week is perfect for me. Probably 14mi/week if the focus is on lifting. I have no pain. 30-35mi/week made my body break down and I got injured.

haha yeah at that point it just feels like a slightly bigger hamster wheel/track in a sense. :-\
-

That's my number when healthy. Add two upper body lifting days plus one squat session a week and you're good to go. I don't run and lift on the same day and don't run the day before or after squatting.

I tweeked Hal Higdons 24 week prep for number 3 marathon I'm doing 20 weeks as I've done 3 half marathons since end of March and have another one in two weeks but prep starts next week
-
do you lift everyday?
I switch it up a lot. I have been lifting forever. Right now it's about 4 to 5 days a week with the split I'm using now.

Good advice switching priorities according the the seasons. It would be great to be good at both wouldn't it, but that animal doesn't exist.

My strength goes south with a lot less miles. There is no way I'm going to rip a hard 5 mile and be able to pile on the plates for deads and deep Olympic squats the day after.

Running on the street=sucks
trail runs= :)

Hamster wheels suck. If you like to run but weather is crappy just do a small incline never bothers my joints and few years ago while prepping for my second full marathon which was in February most of my training was on the dread mill
Also if joints are an issue I'd go to a specialty runners store get fitted for shoes and inserts may want to consider compression sleeves for calves and shins
Got any nude photos to PM me? ;D

Bump for runners

Trail running is healthier because you are running on a natural and cushioned surface, not pounding the pavement repetitively.
this training season I've been doing a lot of trail running. Perfer hard packed trails. I'm actually running a 50 k trail race in May 2015

I like to run.

My next marathon is September 28th. I've fallen slightly behind in my program. I still have a little time to buckle down and make it happen.

Trail running is great. I run in one of our state forests that is fairly steep, the hills really kick your ass. Heading up this afternoon.
I tried doing the running thing on treadmills, tracks and asphalt only to end up with shin splints. I don`t have this problem with trail running???? Like you said, it must be the natural cushioned surface.
BTW, hilarious reading about bbers bitching about narcissists, oh the irony. Great thread OP, this place is entertaining for sure.

I would be interested in how you guys combine lifting and running. If I'm lifting heavy my running suffers. If running is going great the lifting goes south.
Today I trained back and delts which included heavy deadlifts. Afterwards I went for a short two mile run. I know on days when I kick it up to a hard 5 miler there is no way I'm lifting heavy weights the day after.

You could easily combine running (or road cycling) with weight training. Like the 5K runner told you, you have to prioritize.
If you're training for a bodybuilding or powerlifting event, your running will have to take a back seat. If competing in a road race of any kind, heavy constant weight training will leave you too sore to train for your race.
I do both, and when a running or cycling event is nearing, I scale back on weight training, though never stopping completely.

They both are but running rocks

Which one you doing? As long as you've got your long runs in you should be tapering soon, no? Ugh I have my first 20 miler next Saturday, 8 weeks till my next full
-
What the fuck is it with people that have to tell the world about the running events they did?!! Facebook, twitter, newspapers, t-shirts, work....I live in the midwest and this has become a feeding ground for out of shape fucktard narcissists. Fucking overweight spandex rangers wanting a pat on the back every time they go for a jog.
Then we are supposed to act like they are warriors because they are limping around from fucking up their knees and ankles...meanwhile they didn't reduce body fat at all.
AMEN to this

At least every other day, someone on my FB is talking about how they are getting ready for a 10K or Crossfit challenge, etc.

Lol at 10k that's my warm up. Not knocking them but until you run a full marathon then talk to me about getting ready for running

How the hell do you "get ready" for a 10k?
Put on a pair of trainers?

There is some annual race here where all the whores put neon paint on themselves for the run. ???

My balls aren't even sweaty after 10k.
I need to run at least twice that to get some proper cock cheese.

I did one once it was my friends first 5k after I paced her on the course I lopped it again be ause she was slower I had to at least get a fast run in. First loop 40 min with her my second loop 27 min. Most annoying thing are those types of run. Christ I ran a monster dash with my daughter, it was a kids race but at least it was fun and dressed up

I'm doing the Tri-Town Marathon in Merrillville, IN about 45 minutes away from the Southside of Chicago. Good luck with the 20. I've caught up some but am still slightly behind. It'll be all good I did my last one in April with only 4 weeks of training.

When are you going to do one of our events there sista? How does 24+ Hours 40+ miles sound? :D
-
You all are truly missing it. Most of the time you can't tell the difference between one of these "runners" and a cast member of honey booboo. So if it isn't broadcasted to the world you won't know how much they actually train.. One of my gf bestfriends did a 10k and the bitch had the nerve to put on a hypothermia blanket after lol

Wow 4 weeks of training good for you for finishing. Got my 20 done this am, went very well how I ever did 2 full marathons when I first started running and never trained than 10 miles at a time is beyond me. First few miles were tough. I raced a half marathon Sunday and did well, then 5 mile recovery run next day. Did an 8 mile tempo run Thursday. Got a few more half marathons which I will go at race pace another 16 and 18 miler another 20 miler than taper begins
