high intensity cardio

[Firemuscle]

sorry no, vacation will be in So Cal this year in June

 Cool. When I come to SoCal we should go to a bar or something. I'll buy you some drinks and see where it goes from there.

see where it goes from there.

It'll be just like every other night for you over the last 5 years.... you'll wind up posting away on getbig with a half-empty jar of k y jelly by your side.

it's 26.2 dingy..who says I don't walk 2 or 3 miles of it...Lately, on the treadmill I've been going full blast about 8mph for 2 minutes every 10 minutes or so..

Lol at 8 mph being full blast.

hey, I'm lucky if I'm 5ft4 that's fast for me especially when your running 50-90 minutes daily

hahahah still alot of running

LOL yea i dont think i could keep up with 8 mph for very long

5 mph on the tread mill is a pretty good paced jog for me

I got the short stubby legs too

 Naw man I post on getbig in the morning usually.

if you do cardio on something that has to be plugged into a electrical socket then you will never know the secret to being insanely shredded

What do you do for cardio?

Short legs mean that it is easier to have a higher turnover.  That Maurice Greene guy was pretty short but he was once the fastest man on the planet.

yes it does but it also means that you have shorter strides as well...

greene is supposedly 5'9", LOL im about 5'6"-5'7"

The 5 mph being a pretty good paced jog is beginning to make sense now.  I've started doing this bare foot running thing and they say shorter strides are better for you anyway.

here are the types of cardio I do:
100m/400m/800m sprints (with or without weighted vest)
Hill sprints (with or without weighted vest)
Various types of Tabata Circuits where i'll use rounds consisting of either Kettlebells, Burpee Variation and/or Power movements (power snatches et al)
jump rope (i just got a Buddy Lee Aero speed rope that is AMAZING)
Harness sprints

Is that what they're calling 20 minutes on the treadmill these days?

whys that? better health wise?

I also cant ever seem to get into a groove...im decently fast for short distances but I can never seem to get into a rhythm when running

[epic_alien]

I might not do it tho, it will depend if those enormous bitch tits go away or not

blast it with letro

Good luck, I ran the orange county marathon in 2009. It's tough. The build up can be even worse than the actual run. If you train properly, especially the mental aspect, you'll be able to do it w/o walking if you want to. Either way, you'll learn a lot about yourself and you'll never forget the 15 minutes it takes to get out of bed the next morning.

Running up an incline helps me get into a rhythm.  Most people who lift weights do not warm up enough to get into a rhythm.  I usually start at 4.5 mph with an incline and keep it there for about five minutes before I can really feel a rhythm and increase the speed.  If 5 mph is a good paced jog for you, I would start at about 3-3.5 with about a 3 incline for 3-4 minutes.

Rule of thumb when it comes to "High Intensity Cardio":

If it looks like something Stallone would have done in "Rocky IV" then you are probably doing the right exercise

I couldn't agree more. In an earlier post you mentioned burpees, those are top notch. A burpee-sprint combo does wonders.

burpees are topnotch

try this with your burpees
1) Chirpees- youtube search that- they are pretty cool
2) tabata style burpees.....unreal
3) find a short hill/stairs/ incline. Run up that hill, do a burpee, jog back down.  Then, run up the hill again, do 2 burpees, jog back down.  Run up the hill again, do 3 burpees, jog back down....you see the pattern.  Go up to 8-12. good workout

Do you guys try to progress on your cardio, or do you just keep repeating the same workouts (or general volume/intensity level) over and over?

[Oldschool Flip]

i agree, i do 20 secs all out and 10 secs rest for 8 rounds...

its brutal

Tabata protocol. I do it twice a week.

[Crossbow]

intervals are good, just keep protein intake high to reduce muscle burning

also there are some really good motivating "boot camp style" circuit training group sessions around, if you can find a suitable one - especially if they are given by either track and field athletes or boxers.

stavios sprints are awesome. sprint as hard as you can possibly push, for about 20-50 yards. then slowly walk back and wait untill youve caught your breathe then do it again. keep repeating for 15-30mins. you wont be able to grow your legs as fast as you normally would but you wont lose any size, itll help shred you up, and when you cut back on the sprints your legs will grow faster than they were growing before.

[magicuser]

high intensity cardio using weights is ultiamte workout

do it with 8 naked guy pals

for max protien intake

then get fake tits

wear pink silk skirt

Hey c, to answer your question, I will start running once the weather gets and stays warm enough. And my plan is to build up a decent level of conditioning and then just maintain it. I'll run 2 miles a pop, and I imagine my starting time will be about 16 min, but after awhile I will be able to cover 2 miles in roughly 13 min.

I already  ran the Hartford ING marathon in 09 and did a half marathon in September. I'm running my first of 3 marathons in 3 weeks in Mass. so needless to say it's gonna be cold.  So the next 2 weeks are going to be the roughest endurance wise. Doing 3 full and 4 half marathons this year. April I'm doing a half marathon in NYC. Oh don't remind me what my legs will feel like the next day, I dread just thinking about it.
