Anyone addicted to cardio?

[newmom]

I'm slowly falling into a cardio addiction. I had a taste of it years ago, when I used to do a lot of stationary bicycle. Recently though (after a long layoff), I've taken things to a whole new level. I'm doing tabata and treadmill on my weight days. Feeling REALLY high afterwards. I'm adding a little 1/3 dimethyl just to add a kick to the high.    I don't see any serious downsides yet, but I wonder if they might be a toll to pay eventually.

I am. Been doing cardio for 2 years straight. I take my vitamins. I run ALOT at least 45 miles a week, and that's not counting the stairmaster. Keep it up

my knees are fine, they feel great. Ugh I gotta go run outside, big 12 miles today. To fucking cold, but my first marathon for 2011 is in 3 months, I'm hoping it's not during a blizzard LOL

Honestly, be careful with the knees.  EVERY serious runner I met thru work was there to buy an elliptical or treadmill because they developed knee probs over the years.....

Sane here. They're typically women with the biggest probs. I see middle-aged women who can't walk properly doing miles of running on treadmills

absolutely. I take care of them. Sure they will shit the bed in a few years, that what happens to old age. But, goal for 2012 is to do an ironman competition (if that is what you call it). We will see after all the runs I have already registered for and still waiting to see if I get into the NYC marathon. But I'm trying to qualify for the boston marathon in Feburary's marathon

A friend of mine in college did the South African Ironman......he trained constantly....woke up at 5am to swim in a lake, rode his bike to and from school which was about 15 miles and then would run between classes.....took about 5 showers a day in the college gym showers....hahah.....and he eat a massive amount of food.  And he was around 30yrs old at the time.

Best get to the swimming, unless you are a natural....most people I've talked to said it's the worst part by far.  Good luck!

I'm addicted to avoiding cardio.

so much for asking if you wanna go on a run..

[Lundgren]

Fucking love it, however I refuse to run on pavement, my ankles a bitch from soccer. Honestly I don't even like lifting weights that much, if just gives me something to do on my off days when my ankle is being a bitch. It's called an endorphin addiction, I can't go more than 2 days without doing something intense otherwise I get depressed as hell.

On the plus side it makes sex/drinking/living/stress/smoking weed/ everything ten times better. It's like some wonder drug for me. Just got 1hour .45 minutes until 2 hours of soccer can't fucking wait.

100% and I thought I was the only one. I started off doing cardio 2-3 a week, now its 6 days a week for a minimum of 40 minutes. Stimulants+ music and I'm set.

It's gotten to the point where I feel like shit unless I do cardio, which is pretty fucked up. Im definetly over training but fuck it.

[johnnynoname]

nothing wrong with getting getting "addicted" to cardio.....that is, if you are doing real cardio like running up hills, Power Snatches for time or running with a Weighted vest

Same here, I've also notice, being surounded by sweaty 18 year old freshman wearing bright pink and yellow, makes it alot more pleasurable, especially when there vag's are all sweaty and greasy

Addicted to cardio!? What's the opposite of that?

Or carrying cars up steep hills, running stadium stairs with a midget on your back, or waiting for the cops to go on patrol and then purposely snatching a purse right in front of them so they chase you

2 out of 3 of what you listed ACTUALLY seem viable

I run every other day.  Yesterday I ran for 5.5 miles, that's the longest I've gone for a while.  I used to regularly run 30-40 miles a week but that's too hard on my 30 year-old body now
