Well I know since everyone here is so interested in holding on to their 225lb sub 5% frame, they probably would not dream of jogging away precious muscle. But for those of you who can actual walk more than a block, what is your opinion of jogging a few times a week for cardio? Do you feel like it would burn muscle, or is bob chick treadmill walk more your speed?

I run 4 days a week and do cardio 6 days a week overall. As long as you are taking in the proper amount of carbs you will waste very little muscle.

Too late for you to be Mr. Olympia MichaelScott, just do yourself a favor and do the cardio.

I run daily, mostly on the treadmill as it is cold outside or unless it snows and the gym is closed. But I agree with Georgie

Running kicks ass, it is BY FAR the hardest form of aerobic exercise. Although, I wouldn't advise running more than 35 miles a week.

I jog 5 miles every morning, haven't missed a day in 9 months..

Then how's come runners SMOKE swimmers when it comes to Vo2 max ratings? I'd be willing to bet that elite runners could much closer match a swimmers performance than a swimmer could match a runners performance.

i'd buy a pair of asics running shoes if lolo lets me run with her.

Quit trolling and go out and swim 5 miles.....prove something.

I run almost everyday. It's the best way I've found to keep weight off.

It seems like once you reach a certain level of fitness, where your not in pain the whole time, running can be very therapuetic.

I'm going to try my first 1/2 marathon this year in June in San Diego.

I ran like 4-5 times both outside and on a treadmill, had at least 1 swim, + 1 full body workout with weights every week. Worked pretty well actually, I was able to maintain good amount of mass and strength. Now that Im back on the horse again I did no cardio what so ever during my off season, and Im only going to slowly incorporate cardio during my diet. But whenever Im just maintaining its all about cardio and stayin healthy. Enjoy it a lot too actually.

There you go again. Always trying to get on some list.

swimming may be more all-roiund effective but running certainly 'sucks more' and 'feels' much harder and more intense

I considered running for the cure of boredom and for its theraputic qualities.

but then was like, fuck it I'll just walk.

my jogging consists of me following my overweight, bicycle riding, African American Trainer while I wear a pink sweat suit

Running was the only thing that helped me lose weight when I hit a plateau. It has been a couple years and I am fat again but will be hitting the park when the weather heats up. For now I half ass it on the treadmill while watching the girls on the stairmasters.
