I'm in above average to good shape, I can do the elliptical for hours, bicycle 20 miles, swim forever, etc...

I can't run though, I can run like three blocks...

WTF???

All the fitness cardio machines are pussy compared to real world cardio, simple as that.

Ability to run develops only by running.

Start it and keep doing it. I mean not for week but for a year!!! You will see sum' serious development.

All the best for you and your hopefully new form of cardio, running!

Are your legs long or short compared to your torso? If they are long: you can run well, have a low center of gravity, always land on your feet, are a good candidate to be a good athlete...

However, if they are short compared to your torso: You run slow no matter how well you are conditioned, you are top heavy, tend to land on your head when you try to be a gymnast, not a good candidate for competitive athletics.

A University of Houston physical education teacher explained that to me when I asked him that very question...

That's interesting, thank you. I think I'm pretty balanced, if I had to choose I'd say I'm on the long legged side. I've never been athletic/coordinated) although I have decent genetics.

For a man, I have an ass. Even lean, my ass is large, muscular and it holds fat. Wonder if that's related?

And this is precisely why Asians are absolutely horrible at Track and Field.

Not to say you can't get better, just you won't be in the olympics or the NFL.

Maybe you are too heavy. I am tall and weigh alot, and running bothers my knees and lower back. I still run, I am running a half marathon labor day, but it does bother me. I suggest getting some good shoes, and when you run, just keep going. Once I get to a mile, I am good.

Roads don't move when you stand still. Treadmills do.

Running on a treadmill < real running.

Exactly. The machines are probably made to be easier to get more gym customers as well.
