How Much Running Do you Do?

[goldman]

I usually do about 9km a day but I used to do over 12. Since it is winter Im kinda getting lazy I guess..

[EvanL]

I ****ing hate running. I only do it when I have to to qualify for something. I do other **** like rock climbing to get my heart rate up.

[askDNA]

30minutes on the elliptical

Tahts not even near the same motion as running is.

I used to hated too man. The thing that I suck at the most is push ups. Oh man the most I can do is 20.... I broked my wrist and the part just below the elbow 2 years well not quite two but it sucks man! If you have any suggestion how to increase this number please do tell.

[scrybe]

I don't like just running. On cardio days, I make my own little smoker sessions. They go something like this:

Run 1 mile approx 7min mile pace
Rowing Machine 3 miles in approx 17 minutes
Run .5 mile at 7min pace
Stationary Bike 25min fat burning session (hills) at highest setting
Run .5 mile at 7:30min pace

It's usually a combination of running, biking, and rowing that lasts a little over an hour. I do that about 3 times a week, lift then do 30 min of cardio 3 times a week. I generally hit the gym 5 or 6 times each week.

[Bob Lawbla]

Till they stop chasing....



I run on Tues and Thurs. 2 miles each day. Weight training Mon Weds and Fri. Weekends off.

[Howie Kaluha]

I usually run about 1.3 miles per day at 7:30 min./mile pace. Keeps off the fat and doesn't burn off the muscle.

I told you last monday.
Try doing the female style of pushups.
I am king at pushups. It comes from years of being disciplined with them.

[Blarney]

a mile on the treadmill every other day

[goldman]

Last night I did 2.4 kms or about 1.5 miles in 8.23 minutes. I used to do it in less then 8mins. I stopped running for about 2months but these few weeks I have began to do it again.

[EvanL]

Running for me is something i force myself to do only when i need to. And i never have problems with it. I didn't run for like 6months and did a law enforcement style Prep Test and i got to level 9on my beep test even with a chest cold.

[Hullebullen]

I do biking instead, easier on my poor knees. I used to run before but those knees just couldn't take it...

[Hellfish]

The only thing I don't like about running is that I get bored really easy. I loved running in the Army because you were always singing and it helped pass the time. When I run on my own I usually get stuck into this weird daze from listening to my breathing too much and I start running into something. :roll:

I know what you mean. The thing helped me to get used to running is my mp3. Now im comfortable on my own thank god.

[Aerosoul]

i love running. do it just about every day, mileage varies.
i prefer cross country running...got 4 state titles at my school for it.

[Bugalugs]

we have to do 2.4km every 6 months for our fitness test.

therefore I do 4.8 km per year.

l33t!

[Bugalugs]

I know what you mean. The thing helped me to get used to running is my mp3. Now im comfortable on my own thank god.

I guarantee you will run faster with an MP5 positioned in the small of your back than an MP3.

That would get the heart rate up!

Ron Burgundy

I didn't like running either but when I began training for Marine OCS I started on gradual runs from 2-5 miles. Now I average 3 miles at least 3 days a week if not 4, but the winter has def slowed me down. I run at a 21-23 minute pace and also hit the gym 4 days a week.

In a follow up to reports about TNA officials meeting with Spike TV earlier today in New York City, it appears the leading timeslot for iMPACT! is on Thursday night's from 8 to 9:30pm Eastern.

There are also reports that TNA would like to keep their spot on Monday (which currently is a Midnight replay of the previous iMPACT! two days earlier on Saturday night) and change that to sometime around 8:00pm Eastern (an hour before WWE Monday Night RAW on the USA Network).

The current plan is to use TNA programming as a lead-in for UFC on Thursday night's as Spike TV knows the audience for both TNA and UFC are very similar. It should be noted that nothing official has been announced about TNA's timeslot moving from 60 to 90 minutes, although many expected Spike TV to give the company a little more time since the network was very happy with consistant ratings in the last few months.

We will continue to follow this situation as it develops.

[Aerosoul]

wtf are you talking about jaybird.

[Chuckie]

Bike about 10 miles a day.

[Frequency]

none at all anymore, it kills my knees
though i used one of those pedometer things for a bit and i used to walk 6km a day while at work while fitting car stereos so go figure
i tend to stick to things like push ups / sit ups / chin ups to get my heart rate up

[Kingswat]

30minutes on the elliptical

that's what i do, it equals about an hour of running, and is better for the joints.

[jaybird13]

what an elliptical?

nvm.

[Frequency]

what an elliptical?

isn't it one of those cycling machines except your feet are making a running motion insted of a circular cycling one?

[jaybird13]

i go spinning for about 30min-1hour(havn't done it in a while). And i walk about 5hours about 3 times a week.

[goldman]

Elliptical is awesome I do 25mins of that every day when I go to gym.

[jaybird13]

isn't it one of those cycling machines except your feet are making a running motion insted of a circular cycling one?

you are correct sir.


also do you burn more calories by having your feet make a running motion istead of a circular one?

[Ria]

I've tried to get into running but it's too boring. I always carry some sort of portable music thing with me but it's still blah. I guess some people aren't made for that runner's high. Plus, it's the worst thing ever to run in my neighborhood, because it's a dirt road. It wasn't bad before but they covered it with rocks because it gets really muddy and slippery when it rains. I tried several times but just came home with a sprained ankle and hurt feet.

I love biking though, too bad my bike is all messed up. I'm thinking about asking for a new one for my birthday. I have an elliptical in my room, I love it. I can read or watch TV while on it, and I can use it at night or when the weather's bad outside. I go on it for 30 minutes (sometimes an hour) around 4-5 times a week, although I've been busy lately so I've slacked a lot. I can't not do it though, I feel terrible and lazy when I don't exercise.

[jaybird13]

I have one of these in my garage. I am going to put it in my room. I used to be on this thing almost everyday for at least 30min. I need to start again and start lifting.

exept it doesnt look as lame.

[Frequency]

http://www.tnawrestling.com/

ah cool. are these a trend in the states atm?, i haven't really noticed them here unless they are just in gyms and stuff (don't believe in gym memberships)

may end up running again i think, just stopped smoking last week and now whenever i feel like having a cigarette i go and do sit ups or something, but its starting to get repetitive

[Nawlins]

I don't. It's too hard on my joints. I prefer low- or zero-impact workouts.

[jaybird13]

I didnt know what one of those machines where called til i looked it up. But hell DnA and Ria have one, and they are both pretty rad and hip so it may be a trend here in the states.

[jaybird13]

I use to try and run but i couldnt because i would get too tired. I've lost about 35lbs. since then but havne tried running yet.

[buckeyedoc]

NOT ENOUGH! I need to pick up my workout/running routine.

[Roids]

i love running. do it just about every day, mileage varies.
i prefer cross country running

x2

If your thinking about how bored you are in running than your not running fast enough.

any gym in the u.s. (esp. a college) will have elliptical machines

[Karmapolice]

yep I need to start using my college's they have them in the gym but even better they have them in the rec center for the suites and no one ever uses them but I am about to start. I need to find a pool also, I would swim in the local lake but I don't know if it is legal plus I don't wan't to scare people lol.

hmm you are lucky that it isnt packed. I go at 2-3pm which is pretty quiet because most ppl are in class, but it's freakin packed on friday at 7pm when ppl should be having fun!

[USMC-to-be]

6 miles in my nike's, and 3-4 miles in my boots.

[askDNA]

6 miles in my nike's, and 3-4 miles in my boots.

haha there is already a guy on here with the name usm2b.

you prepping for boot camp or ocs?

[nagant_m44]

I dont run, i just try to do 60 kicks(30 kicks per leg) in 2 minute rounds over and over on the heavy bag until i am utterly exhausted.

[jaybird13]

Oh man, I wish i had a swimming pool, what a great resource for exercise.

[[AFSOC]]

not enuff...haha

but i do BJJ and Muay Thai soo it makes up for it

[Hellfish]

Get an MP3 player, buy/download some cadences, and run through your neighborhood screaming the most vulgar ones you could find.

Dude... if you know of any sources for good, dirty candences on the net, send a PM my way. I think that'd totally help. Dunno why I didn't think of it or any other cadences before. Duh. :bash: I've been trying to run to all the mellow and chillout stuff I listen to because I've got so few motivating, angry songs and musicians in my collection that I tire of them fast.

[EvanL]

']not enuff...haha

Getting your ass kicked by other people doesn't count as exercise.

[[AFSOC]]

Getting your ass kicked by other people doesn't count as exercise.

talking tough on the internet doesnt make you anymore gayer...

[W3s II]

I run at least twice a week. The distance varies. If I have a lot of studying/work to do, I won't run as much.

Education comes first...

[BadKarma26]

3 miles every other day. I hate it though.

then PT we run so yah.

I lift free weights and do crunches and pushups on my own every day.

[EvanL]

']talking tough on the internet doesnt make you anymore gayer...
ohh well thats good to know then. i've been wasting my time trying to get more gay. i guess i will just have to find another way.

[BadKarma26]

sup bud. yo you max the apft out then right?

[Ratamacue]

Sorry man, but I don't. My mom got me a couple Marine cadence CD's for Christmas, but I haven't listened to them yet. I'll make sure to listen to them and keep a look out on the net and let you know if I find anything.

[USMC-to-be]

haha there is already a guy on here with the name usm2b.

you prepping for boot camp or ocs?

I dont know what OCS is, but Im just making sure I can do whatever is asked of me with ease. I go up a mile every week, and my time gets faster also. Maybe Force Recon, maybe just infantry, I dunno yet.

[W3s II]

OCS is Officer Candidate School.

[zonk]

i ran every single day of the work week in the 82d, this has lead to bad ankles and knees, but i got a certain enjoyment running my ass off down ardennes or back in area j every morning. i miss those days whered i do 10 miles twice a week and then relax in a hot shower afterwards. the best running shoes i have found are new balances, make sure to get the correct ones for the terrain and foot style. also make sure to change your shoes every 6 months or sooner depending on the amount of running you do. i wore out my first pair of newbalances after 4 months of running causing killer shin splints

[Zarathustra]

I hate running, I prefer bikes.

[Sloppy Joe2]

well my unit does a good job at keeping us running, we do about 8 miles every other day. and on wendsday we do "the canyon", it is kind of like our own little currahae here at Fort Bliss. it is three miles up and you guess it three miles down.

funny thing here is i am one of the bigger guys in my unit, but i am also the fastest runner just behind my CO (he is a beast). the thing that sucks about that though is they make me carry the guide-on up "the canyon", but you got carry them Cavalry colors.

SCOUTS OUT!!!

[pegasus]

ill do 5k most days sometimes 10, then ill get straight on a stationary bike for 5-10 miles, then weights.

[finnjävel]

9-12 kilometres per day, 5 to 6 times a week. Takes about 50 minutes. I like running cross country rather than on a road. Obstacles like stones and trees and ditches to jump over or go around are cool.

[DnA]

I run 2-3 times a week, for 2,4,5 or 6 miles depending on how I feel at the time.
I hate running, but I gotta do it to stay in shape, plus I gotta keep in shape since I'm in the Army an want to be Airborne.

When I'm on course(Army) I run more often an longer distances(sometimes).

For other excercise, I usually just do pushups, sit ups, crunches, weights occasionaly an sometimes sports.

[Hawkeye]

Exercise is overrated

[Stormy]

LOL @ Hawkeye

[omatraca]

5k four times a week, and 1 hour spinning 3 times a week

[cowboypimp]

6miles mon.-sun. , weight-train/cales. mon.-sun. , bike and swim when i feel like it.

push ups:90-100
sit-ups: 100-110
pull ups:23-27
dips: definetly more than 50
my run times are pretty good to.

Ive been working out since like middle school. its so much fun!!
I also love to run right before a good rain or in fog as long as its a nice temp. outside like 65deg.f., the clouds and **** are really calming. good time!!

[Daniel]

i run most days usually around 5 kms

[p$ycho+log!cal]

20 min every 2 days!

[Mr Gently Benevolent]

I can't run as I am little bit Verbal Kint.

[goldman]

Well im back. I havent run in 3 days and I felt so guilty. So today I was aiming for 12km run but I made it too 15km. I feel so great. Im kinda shaking but it is alright!
