Disclaimer Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Perhaps the cause of the discrepancy between yours & the Mrs. marathon numbers, that you were questioning No, she was on the exact same treadmill I was... just different days.

Big Chief201 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I had a Thurman burger after work and then proceeded to run 5 miles... Worst idea ever don't try it. P.S. If your knees bother you when you run get jumpers knee straps they are amazing. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00637446000P?vName=Health%20&%20Wellness&cName=Posture&Support&sName=Joint%20Braces&psid=FROOGLE01&sid=IDx20070921x00003a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilblue375 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ive been running competitively since i was in 6th grade so needless to say i can def answer any running questions you would have. First def go to a running store and get a good pair of running shoes. This will help prevent injury. Second i would set up a goal like maybey running in a columbus 5k (only 3.1 miles). This way you will have something to look forward to and keep yu motivated. But most of all for starters run withing your ability...you will get more out of running a long distance at an easy pace then trying to run fast. So dont worry it took you 15 min now.. you can work on lowering your time later. Also if you start to get a side cramp and you decide t stop and walk, the next time you go and run your probably going to get it again around the same distance you had it the day before.. just try and slow down concentrate on breathing a consistent rate and jog thru it. If you can get past the 3 week point you should be golden. Normally the first 2 to 3 weeks are the hardest. Good Luck !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 No, she was on the exact same treadmill I was... just different days.Ahhhh..... I was under the impression she ran an organized, outdoor, actual, factual half marathon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 well today is running day, and I have opted that 20 degrees is a touch too cold for right at the moment. Hopefully it warms up. I have almost completed week one of couch to 5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyco1 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Used to jog before I got a metric fuckton of titanium installed in the leg and pelvis, I tried once a few months ago and it wasn't pretty. Looks like the elliptical machine's gonna be my cardio for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I haven't read hardly any of this thread, but when I was in the Army we had guys who couldn't pass the run portion of their PT test. We started running with our flak jackets and after 2 or 3 weeks, guys were shaving minutes off of their 2 mile run times. So you could always grab a back pack and throw some weights/phone books inside and go run, hills are always good too. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfd37buckeye Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Did my Treadmill 5K in 30:12 yesterday....best yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfd37buckeye Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I dont run in the cold unless its a race... 5k event or something. I hate wearing sleeves and pants when I run, so I usually just stick to a hat & gloves.... I hate how restricted I feel with the excessive winter clothing. t-shirt and shorts are the way to go for me.You just wear a hat and gloves? thats about as unrestricted as it gets.

Its been a week or so, as work has been crazy busy. I spose im going to start over freshI think I'm actually gonna do the treadmill this week. Easier to keep track of the 60/90 second splits with the timer right in front of me, than constantly tryin' to lift my sleeves to see my watch with gloves on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
