any runners?

@Zer0DazE

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

In general, shorter high intensity workouts are good for fat burning right?

@SkunkApe

i do a lot of running on the treadmill…

damn… if you were closer i would def go running.

you guys should run to each other, high five at the half way point, and be on your way :lol:

40 min runs are pretty good. do that for a while and you’ll be in great shape. I need to start running too…even though im at the gym a lot and play hockey twice a week, running is key. Ugg, I need more time

I run every other day just around my complex 5-6 times, I’m not too far from you today but tomorrow i’ll be on a one way flight to Florida so that doesn’t help. When I was 18ish I used to run 9 miles a day 4-5 times a week.

the 1st 20 min (give or take) of any run will burn what sugar you have stored up in your muscles.
then it will move on to the next source, depending on how you eat this could be ketones or protein.
jogging or keeping your HR around 65% will burn fat, but you wont burn shit for cals unless you do it for an hour. its a fucking waste of time.
intervals give you the best of both, and help build lean muscle, and where your done you have a better after burn.

i suggest reading Ready, Set, Go! Synergy Fitness. especially if you’re getting close to 30.
edit:
actually heres some info about the Sprint 8 program (from the book mentioned above)

That makes sense.

@JaysGreenLX

That makes sense.

the thinking about drinking beer part?

[JaysGreenLX]

@Zer0DazE

No the interval vs. distance part.

Drinking does sound pretty good right about now though.

lol, just bustin balls

and yes, my beer does taste good right now

but back on topic
newman, do intervals for 20-30 min (with warm up and cool down) to get the most “bang for your buck” on the tread.
you f-body loving whore

I like to finish a run with a set of 12 ounce curls.

[dawn]

I’ll only run with you if it’s dark to the point where no one can see me running. Hahaha.

[turbociv]

wtf… you get a/c and a 1hr lunch break.:lol:

@newman

i was up to like 158. i should weigh 140-145

i wouldnt weigh that if you cut off my legs. As of rite now I am 205.

[Coldaccord]

my knees are wrecked from skateboarding and playing hockey (goalie). i ride a roadbike for excercise, its very low impact (pretty much none) plus you can spend a day-off and take a 50 mile or so trip, its great

[Sc1chik]

yeah newman, you really let yourself go. gross.

anyway, if i lived closer, i’d be down. but i suck at running so maybe not.

i feel your pain lol. I cant run more than like 1/4 mile without being winded.

[Bacon]

I’m ghey and rollerblade. But I’m definatly in the quarter-mile club. Move a bit pass-out, move a bit more repeat. This thread definatly reminded me to go out and exercise more. :tup:

@BikerFry

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.

Shit same here. Been doing a lot of biking. Mixing up the power bursts of trail riding, with the endurance of road biking.

But I really would love to find a rec soccer leage to play thi fall. Nothing competitive. Something fun, and laid back.

I hate just running more than anything. Running within sports, ie soccer is good.

@87FOXGT

I used to run a solid 5 miles a day around the base when I was in Iraq. Now I run a solid 5 times to the fridge to get some beers :tup:

Yeah, thats what I’m expecting to have happen to me…
