>>9886418
>trips telling others to watch their autism
I'm just saying, the pockets on gym shorts are terrible. They can't hold anything in them because they're too small and the material is too loose to hold anything in while running.

>>9886433
i like to have pockets on gym shorts for tennis
i really need a pair with a zipper pocket for running tbh

>>9886433
What kinda gym shorts are you wearing? My UA shorts are cavern-like

My running clothes... I know its bad.
Shitty chinese COTTON track jacket(Only wear on cold days)
Nike BB shorts
Some generic camleback
Reebok baseball hat
JVC sport earbuds
Old wornout pair of Asics.

Believe me, if i had the cash, id replace it all, starting with the asics(with new asics) and that ass-ugly track jacket.

>>9886433
Hmm, what do you need to hold when you're exercising? I have one of those dumb armbands for my phone, a key pocket on my shorts/tights and everything else I keep in my locker or carry in my hands and put aside when I don't need them (pencil + paper, water bottle)

generic tee
generic shorts
sennheiser hd 202s

>>9886433
I think i know what you're talking about(Where its just a flap sewed into the waist band, that has another piece of fabric over it to turn it into a pocket?)
Those are designed to only hold 1 key(specifically, a locker key. Though you could put a house key on it instead if you're running outside)

If i need to carry anything, i just toss it into my shitty camelback knockoff(I'm >>9886828) which has a pocket about the size of my hand. Its where i keep my phone(which i use for music with the earbuds) and a granola bar, a few cables, keys, and my wallet.

Its 1000x better than having them in my jacket pockets which arnt secure anyway, as it holds it close to my core and does not mess with weight balance.

>>9886911
how do the 202s stay on your head?

Good times

>>9886433
They're fine for when you're in the gym, but you're right, for running they suck. I do have a pair of mondetta shorts, though, that have a small zipper pocket just above the butt. A very thoughtful inclusion if you just want to bring a key. Otherwise, though, you need a lil backpack to bring stuff while running.

>>9886828
Shocking. Also, I can see your penor

Got mine a few days ago; pretty amazing

The Falmouth shorts are really nice too

who /middistance/ here?

also,
>running with headphones

running is the best time to think, unwind, and take in the world around you (even its sounds). since i stopped running with music ive never looked back

these & flyknit 4's are my shit

What body does running give you? (pics please)

I'm underweight right now so there's not really any weight to lose.

>>9889085
running can only hurt you at this point unless you up your calories

>>9889105
I assumed that I would get hungrier from running

>>9886433
I know what you mean, but if you don't have a rear zip pocket they can be useful for gels since they don't weigh much (you need to put them somewhere)

>>9888344
How long is mid distance? I've been running ~3-5km lately, hoping to get to 10km level soon

>>9889110
Depends on distance and intensity. High intensity running builds muscle usually, cz you're mainly recruiting fast twitch muscles (think sprinters)

Long distance runners tend to be very light and quite skinny, mainly cz its an endurance sport and your muscles are under constant stress for longer periods.

Thats the extremes. Running helps me think more clearly and get my mind off stress and work. Also it means less time spent doing nothing/lounging around, and less time wasting my life in some image board

>>9889145
Could you recommend me some good shoes? My feet get fucked up pretty easily so I guess i'll need something very supportive.

>>9889220
Not the guy you quoted but go to an actual store with people who know what they are doing. No one can tell you over the internet what shoe fits your leg.

I don't understand modern running clotches, they are all from nylon or polyester, what makes you sweating as hell. Why they do so?

>>9889128
not him but I am running between 4.4 and 3.5 km 5 times a week. my current goal is to run 6 times a week and then i'll see how high I can crank the distance

>>9888344
I used to run 7 k 3 times a week but decided to stop after starting to feel pain in my left knee. I've slowly been easing myself into it but it but it's hard when you haven't run in half a year and don't want to over do it.

>also,
>>running with headphones
sometimes it's nice to have something to help keep the pace, and running to a good mix at a good tempo (140-150bpm) can be pretty exhilarating, but i agree that it can be pretty sweet to just listen to the outside world sometimes.

>>9889637
They breathe well and transfer the moisture from your skin outwards helping you not get mad fucking sweaty and hot
Judging the clothes solely on the materials is kinda dumb because they have all sorts of tricks to make the clothing as functional as possible.

>>9889637
Reigning Champ and Tracksmith use heavy cotton / heavy cotton+rayon blend

Nylon and polyester are light, inexpensive, and are indestructible; they keep the shape of clothes perfectly, drape well, and can withstand the most brutal clothes washing regimens
But yeah they do not belong on athletic gear.....they don't breath well, and if you do run, you know about the nipple situation.....fuck climachill shirts

>>9888362
my physio recommended these, meant to be the gold standard for running shoes apparently

>>9889765
> gold standard
> since February

>>9889765
are you sure he isn't just an adidas hype boy?

>>9889220
Recently started running, nobody can recommend it easily online

Go to a running store and get them to help you, if they're any good, they should have a treadmill for you to try on different pairs and record you running, so they can suggest shoes which will best match the way you run.

>>9886418

>>9893408
Your limbs are sticks.

Less cardio, more lifting.

anyone /1600m/ here? if so post times.
right now, I'm at 5:11, tryna get it under 5:00

>>9889128
>>9889706
I meant more 12-20k.
Does anyone know of any good shoes for this distance? They don't need to be /fa/ or anything. My hand-me-downs are wearing out

generic tee
generic dark blue cotton shorts
fluo yellow asics
sennheisers cx300ii

>want to start running
>find couch to 5k, figure it seems like a good start
>it involves running, then walking, then running etc
>dont want people to see me walking in running gear because then i'll look like a retard who can't handle a run

>>9895753
One of the nicest feelings about going on a run is that eventually the adrenaline and energy expended towards running takes the majority of your ability to give a shit about other people's opinions. It's really a meditative activity, for me at least. Also, you're new to running, so you'll be sweating so much they will probably just think that you got done running 10 miles

>>9895753
Do what I did.
>Set my Apple Watch (or whatever fitness tracker you get) to .5 miles
>jogged it
>next day, do .55
>next day do .60
>repeat until you feel you can't up the distance any more
>do that distance a few times until you're more comfortable with it
>up the distance again.

>>9895794
Are you over the age of 18
And barely learning how to run

i want to start with running but i feel like a poser when running in a running fit help me fam

My PR on 10km is 43'10

I'm stuck in a little shithole town that has no specialised running store, what are a good pair of babby's first running shoes? Asics?

>Long distance here

Take it slow and be persistent. 10K went from hell (two years ago) to the usual 5-6x a week run. Also, listen to your body and do not overdo it. A semi-serious injury will fuck your motivation big time.

>>9895833
after less than half a mile you won't give a shit

alternatively get yourself some music to listen to. If I can't be arsed to wade through my music collection I just download a dubstep comp from youtube that's usually enough

>>9895811
I'm 23.
I never had an interest in being athletic until this year.
I can run a mile now which is legitimately something I never thought I'd be able to do.
Oh, and I've lost 20lbs this year.

Stitches. How do you prevent them?

I can cope with them. I have to slow down and do some focused breathing and it usually clears up, but what causes them and how can you prevent them?

>>9895880
Pace yourself and don't eat before running

>>9895877
lol I love that point you get to when you can't turn anymore and suddenly a group of people directly in front of you refuse to sweve. MOVE OUT THE FUCKING WAY I SIMPLY CANNOT

i love the point where you're running and your bowels suddenly start working overtime and you go from 0 to 100 on the have-to-shit-scale real quick and you still have to run 3 miles to homebase

does anyone have the wave rider 18s?

thinking of copping as a first shoe, £75

>>9895896

>>9889220

Learn to run, rather than getting shoes that suit terrible technique.

Love my Prime Boosts

Minimalist shoes all the way.
Learn to forefoot run.

I'd piss myself seeing you run in that shit as i fly past you.

>layering in running gear

>>9895944
I actually run str8 barefoot
get on my level fags
actually dont it wrecks your feet, i have huge blisters everywhere

>>9889765
>my physio recommended these, meant to be the gold standard for running shoes apparently
I bought the energy boost 2's last year and they gave me more plantar fasciitis than my flyknits

>>9891599
You should also know that there's no science out there backing that up, it's mostly a scam to sell you some expensive ugly shoes.
Just get some shoes that you find comfy, fits your feet well and looks alright.

>>9895975
you're not running on pavement barefoot are you?

I have a 2 mile grass path on my property that i run barefoot 3x a week, never get blisters

You should probably know that there was a study a few years back that found runners in brand new, top of the line running shoes were 123% more likely to get injured than those in a old, trusty pair of running shoes.
I'm pretty sure that I'm not talking out of my ass here, I'll try and find the study. I know it is actually true for my girlfriend and I though. She went to one of those shoe fitting places and forked out for a brand new pair of Nikes while I still run in my year old, hand me down pair of Asics. Within 2 weeks she ended up with an injury on the ball of her foot and couldn't run for about 3 weeks

>>9896792
but surely every pair of shoes has to be new at some point right?

I haven't done sport in years, to the point of which my feet are too big for my old shoes

>>9896693
my local running store can put me on one of those treadmills for £15, which gets taken off the price if I buy trainers from them. Should I avoid it then?

What surface will be under foot?

>>9896810

Fuck that shit.
Get a pair of minimalist zero drop running shoes and teach yourself how to run properly.
Take it slowly and work on running technique and forefoot striking.

>>9896803
Of course, but don't get taken in that more expensive means better. Often a shoe that is low to medium price range will actually be a more supportive shoe than and high range shoe.
When I have had to buy a new pair I will try on various low to medium range shoes that feel supportive by hand and then just feel what they're like walking in store. For around the last 7 or 8 years I've ran 15-20km 3 times a week and have never had a pair of shoes that have cost more than £45 new. Then again I usually run barefoot on beaches so that might be cheating shoe-wise
Also many companies that use those running machines and various equipment will be paid more by high end companies for selling their shoe so the sales assistant will try and sell you the more expensive shoe.

>>9893408
You'll probably hit 10k by the end of the summer
>>9895854
This when I first started I got a couple of stress fractures, definitely over did it.

I just did my first half marathon the other day, ran it in 1 hour and 32 minutes, much better than I anticipated
Next goal is to run a 5k in under 18 minutes
Sorry for shitty photo

>>9896960
Current trainers
Brooks Ravena 5 and Saucony Guide 7

>>9896867
Oh okay, what shoes do you use currently?

>>9886231
>modern couture

it's timeless couture ya dummy

I feel like running isnt worth it until you get to the point where you're running for over 30 minutes at a time. Otherwise its painful and doesn't burn that many calories.
That's why I lift and eat well to stay fit

>tfw running 5k every other day for past month and a half
stuck in a rut with no motivation to change

what about biking? I like it because I can spend a longer time biking than running. Full cycling kits look pretty cool too.

>>9897435
ladies and gents, prime hobby jogger

>>9897417
>painful
that's the point.

>>9896810
don't listen to /fa/ for recommendations on running shoes. listen to the professionals. minimalism is 'hot' right now so everyone thinks it's best. but people are different and need different shoes. and if they truly wanted what was 'hot' they'd be recommending HOKAs

>>9896960
>ran it in 1 hour and 32 minutes
That's pretty fast man, how long did you train for?

I only lift weights, fuck cardio.

>average mile time is 7:30
>farthest I've ever gone in one go is 12miles

am I a pleb? I'm the only person I know that runs so its hard to tell, weekend 5k warriors dont count.

>>9897417

Cardio boosts your ability to recover during other physical activities. Doing it after lifting gets rid of lactic acid too. You're right that you have to do it for 30 minutes to get benefits but even fat people can go that long.

>>9897959
>It's pretty good, you should sign up for races/events. You'll meet some actual runners and get a better idea of your own ability are in relation to others

>>9897959
I can run a 6:15 mile and I don't run, try again

>>9898042
who are you quoting?

>>9893438

ran a 4:27 1600m a few weeks ago at my high school's conference championship race. placed 4th

if you're trying to drop your time, do some speed work on the track - 200m and 400m repeats helped me a ton as long as i had a solid base

>>9898042
wasn't meant to green text but yeah

>>9898075

Do you recommend spikes for track running or are regular trainers fine if I'm not competing?

>>9898117

the only time i ever wore spikes was for racing - they probably helped me shave off 3-4 seconds

they dont have enough support to be used in training tho. i always just used regular new balance trainers for all my workouts, even fast track intervals

>>9898117
dont use spikes for anything but racing, they are designed to be super lightweight and only to be worn a few times. They aren't durable and provide very little support, you'd be asking for an injury if you wore them often.

>>9895896
bruh
i alllwwwaaayyysss shit b4 a run and never b4 one
and if i know i cant shit then laxatives about 30 min b4 and we good

4 times a week long distance
3 times a week focus on speed

Runnig is the best hobby tho.

>>9897472
yeah man agree

I do HIIT training like

3 minute warm up

sprint:15 sec
running at slow pace:30 sec
repeat (8x)

is this good?

I'm 6'0 (183cm) and weigh 74kg (162,8lbs)

What do you all run in?
I'm not autistic about socks or underwear but I always wear a Tracksmith Grayboy and AA sweatshorts
Prime Boosts on my feet
Every time I've tried to wear a jacket it's been unbearable after like half a mile
End up having to pull up the sleeves

mountain biking is just so much cooler than running it's not even funny. every one of you that has money, buy a mountain bike. best investment you'll ever make.

only fat, lazy cunt who don't want to move her ass says this kind of shit. Their is no excuse for not running

>>9897472

but starting to build my gear collection now. what shoes do you use? (no click pedals) i like vans or roshes because theyre quite flat which makes them good for getting into the cages quick

>>9899235
>>9899266

sorry you poorfags can't afford a membership to a gym where you can use a running machine that doesn't ruin your joints, all while being surrounded by QTs

>>9898063

Yeah just one. It's not hard to run one fast mile. How long can you keep that pace?

>>9899302
>implying the gym is an enjoyable atmosphere

sure I like going to the gym but the environment isn't the reason why, especially when compared to running outside on a nice day

>>9899309
Middistance is a style, dude
Anybody who can clock a six minute mile can probably knock them out one right after the next but it's not about getting to marathon distances....it's about shaving seconds

>>9899302
