I’m trying to get in shape… i was getting kinda fat, so i started running on my lunchbreaks. Yeah, it’s a treadmill, so it’s mad easy. I can’t go for too long… i usually do 4.5 miles or so in about 40 minutes. But i’ve run outside a few times and i like it alot better… but only late at night… Does anyone else ever wanna run in the southtowns? ---

I run on my lunch break every day too. Except I’m in Amherst. ZD, a guy I work with runs intervals because he _doesn’t_ lose weight that way. Any time he starts running distance he drops weight. ---

well running 20 min intervals and then 20 miles or whatever long distance is are 2 totally different critters. do you really want me to go into the science beind it? i am tried and havent been at my desk for almost 2 weeks because i have been at heath and fitness conventions and shit. but if you really really really want me to, i will tell you all about why your friend is losing water and muscle mass when he runs long distance vs burning fat and building lean skeletal muscle when he runs intervals. but really, im tired, and would rather think about drinking beer in 54 min ---

I need to get on a rec soccer team again. Playing soccer’s pretty much the only way I get a good cardio workout. I get so focused that I forget how much running sucks. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/any-runners/15767.md?page=2)
