Distance running is dangerous 

Moderation in all things.....including moderation.....

It actually is

@@nunyafawkingbizit isnt. Its low mileage. If you are struggling with taht you havent properly stryctured your workouts/ arent running the apropriate pace.

Running makes u weak. Sprinting is truth.

@@GungFu-tt1ef I agree, sprinting is more natural for the human being.

@@thelastninja4825Not really. Humans are designed to run long distances, not sprinting. We are one of the slowest mammals alive. The tactic was to keep the animals that do depend on sprinting to continue running over longer distances until they exhaust, pass out, and are able to be overpowered.

David goggins doesn’t care about health, he care about mental toughness. His heart once gave out so he asked it if it’s being a bitch today, then asked who’s gonna carry the boats? It got back up real quick

Didn't he had knee surgeries? I wouldn't take that guy seriously.

There is no point to long distance running.

@@dawson0610mind your own business

I think like how the carnivore diet has shown, we really don’t know as much about the human body as we thought. David Goggins is a prime example

Opposite to me.. Turns me into a bitch.. Sprinting turns me into a man

What’s interesting is to me it seems to be the same argument that others have with carnivore, running a lot often and eating all meat, make you feel great and you thrive, but might not be the most optimal longevity decisions. I don’t know but at least that came to my mind.

Both are stress for your body. Stress = unhealthy

@@Jachasik Eu-stress

I like the idea of being healthy enough to run short distances. I did my first 5K a few weeks back. 3 miles is a bit much but I enjoyed running/sprinting followed by walking. I feel like that is most akin to hunting as cavemen. Plus, it’ll be nice to be capable of running in case of a disaster scenario. Ya know: skyscrapper coming down at free fall unleashing asbestos, baby mama need child support, or maybe an elephant escapes the zoo.

@@Jachasik Stress can be healthy if it leads to favorable adaptations in the body. Not all stressors are bad, it's really a question of context. For instance, all stressors need some amount of recovery for the body to adapt. The stressor itself isn't the adaptation, it's what happens in response that leads to adaptation.

@@Magnulus76 I don't think that you can call stress "healthy". No matter what kind of stress is always detrimental on your body and ages you. Even in so called body building it is more likely body destroying or stressing but yes you can build some muscles with it. In case of running I can see some many people outside running and I feel sometimes bad about them. Their body screaming to stop doing that. You can argue that stress is good body singal to stop doing what you do and change your life style or to for example adapt to some poison in environment no matter if it is snake or stress at work with toxic people and so on. I believed some day in hormesis and beneficial stress but currently I got more experience and in a time being I extinct from my life any stress and became overall happier a d healthier. Well just do what you want and resonates with you but never be 100% sure of everything and try to stay open minded.

Try walking. Way better and more natural

Look up dr sean o’mara and his proposed sprinting for visceral fat loss. Interesting stuff…

@@bhok1971does walking increase capillary density and improve VO2 max the same way running does?

​@@bhok1971Walk and sprint like an ancient hunter. Make it fun and explorative.

Hey thanks for that information - I have left ventricular hypertrophy. My cardiologist never said. Got any ideas on how to bring presistent high blood pressure down? (Already on beta-blockers and calcium blockers)

less salt if you havent tried already@@thelastgreatdevolutionary1044

The very fact that you need to adapt body to long runs through very long time or special means as you need to adapt muscles to grow bigger after reaching certain threshold shows it's unnatural. Or at least something creating a different balance in body so requires more research into what it does to body long term. I can bet women to better with long runs! And men with gaining extraordinary mass. There is this in-built specialisation of endurance and explosive high short term effort. Or just my strong intuition

@@szymonbaranowski8184 that’s an interesting way to think of it. Very though provoking and I agree just like gaining large amounts of muscle, it is unnatural to run long distances. Our bodies weren’t built for that or we wouldn’t have to force adaptation

@@Fitnessbybryce I would disagree with this. We are clearly designed for distance running. We can dump heat quickly via lack of hair and the sweating mechanism. I think our hunter ancestors used their better endurance to stalk, harass and wear down large prey animals over time until they were weak enough to be susceptible to direct attack. As mentioned, clearly the human body does need to be conditioned to do this though, and the running probably shouldn't be done on hard surfaces.

@@davepeterschmidt5818 I think we can agree to meet in the middle. You are right about saying our ancestors hunted and stalked the pray. But I don’t think that they were running marathons or training for it. Running isn’t bad for you, but distance running in this context can have negative effects. This is my opinion of course thank you for sharing your opinion with me!

@@Fitnessbybryce Of course they weren't running marathons. And they trained on the job, so to speak. The pursuit I believe they engaged in was done as a group, where some subset of the group would be harassing the prey at all times while others were getting a breather. Then they'd swap roles and continue. This would be an extremely effective technique against an animal they had been able to isolate from the herd, for example, even if that prey was faster than a human for short bursts.

Having had been in the health and fitness and nutrition industries for quite some time, many years ago, based on your comment, you are unequivocally overtraining.

O

Cross-training is definitely healthier than pounding too much pavement.

@@Magnulus76 agreed. Not all my miles are pavement. Single track trails in the woods with dirt, rocks and roots. Far more dynamic use of muscles than typical running. I am constantly advising my friends who run with nagging injuries that they need to weight train and get into the woods for some of their running. And on paved stuff, ALWAYS opt for asphalt instead of concrete when available.

@@thezenhodler1620 Resistance training is important for runners, especially as they age. Heck, it's good for everybody as they age.

Same builds legs not breaks em 😜

I work a desk job and don’t want to be a slob like all the other dudes in my company so thinking I’ll start run/walking. Run a short distance. Walk and catch my breath. Then run again. Short bursts. I like the idea of being able to cheez-it in the event of an emergency or maybe from my car to the store in the winter.

Did saying peeing blood was common he said that’s what he did. Almost all marathon runners I know are addicted to running

But he definitely made it sound like it's a common thing with ultra marathons, which is not true. I don't know a whole lot about much but I know running. I have ran many races from 100-200+ miles. I have many friends who run ultra marathons, and do not pee blood. I love the docs message with most things, however I just don't agree with making it seem like it's terrible for you. Just my opinion!

Plus, if he peed blood he did things terribly wrong. That's not an opinion but a fact.

You know that blood in pee isn’t always visible

I’d like to mention, you don’t have to be 20-25lbs under in muscle mass to run distances. I’m a sub 3 marathoner at 205lbs around 10-12% bodyfat. He must not like to put in a lot of work 🤫 his other stuff is amazing and I love it! Love the carnivore diet! It’s taken my performance to a whole new level.

I'm doing 40 a week but mostly at low hr and don't feel fatigued and feel healthier than I've felt in years. I do think that doing more low hr is key if you love running to help over training...

That's where an app like Runalyze is useful. Keeping the Fitness to Fatigue ratio on the favorable side, for instance, is going to help keep people away from overtraining.

100 percent. Volume of running or training is all relative. If you look at what kilian jornet does per week- it would kill most men lol but he is perfectly healthy and injury free. You build up greater capacity as u continue to train, obviously there is a limit but honestly the limit is pretty high. also depends on ur other life style habits. just saying endurance running is bad is very silly. Doing too much is bad but doing an amount ur body can handle is great for the body.

As long as you balance your exercise out it's probably fine. Keep doing what you love and keep in touch with your doctor.

Consistent endurance exercise is not healthy when you consider it slows our resting metabolism, is hard on joints. You want to run do interval sprints on grass or dirt. Thats healthy running not steady state cardio.

Yes, the main issues are the slowing metabolism due to the body attempting to more efficient with energy over time. And the repetitive physical impact on joints bones brain etc...

@@GregariousAntithesis your metabolism slows down cause your losing weight when you gain weight it goes up it's not bad for your joints it strengthens joints

I’m a vegetarian distance runner and have no issues. I had more issues while I was eating animal meat. I don’t think a specific diet really matters as long as you’re nutrition is balanced, you’re getting enough essential nutrition, and not over training.

He has a serious eating disorder and is changing his diet every few months. How can that be helpful to anyone?

@@metalrunner4398 He hasn't changed his diet in quite a long time now actually. I suspect you've been watching his past materials and came across his dietary changes in an accelerated manner so you THINK he changes his diet frequently. His process and approach is a good one (eat what is evolutionarily appropriate) and he is speaking truth. Call it an eating disorder if you like, but it's simply his way of eating. Everyone has one. His is optimized for his desired lifestyle. Personally I've taken the basics of my dietary approach from his and modified it to fit my own body and lifestyle. It's working extremely well for me.

@@metalrunner4398 wdym eating disorder ?

@@sudenmoose obsession with micronutrient adverse effects that are not even proven in mechanistical studies in rodents, changing his diet every few months. First juice fast plant based person, full carnivore, rice cracker nut, rice is poison nut, carbs are evil, fruit is great, honey is amazing, histerical shirtless screaming in supermarket. All that within 3 years. It is a blatant eating disorder. He should be shown to kids in med school.

@@sudenmoose it's funny how not eating shit foods gets called having an eating disorder. eating everything in "moderation" has worked out so well for humans thus far, right? i appreciate the story paul's followed to get to this point. one extreme to the other, and now has settled in on an omnivorous pattern that seems to have lots of benefits.

40 per week?? I maybe do 6-12 a week lol

I think even 40 miles is too much - just look at David Goggins - both knees have no cartilage. Fractures all throughout his legs. This is what distance running leads to.

I do like 12 running and another 12 of walking Usaf pilot

@@peterb31 David Goggins knees were fucked up when he was in the military, years before he started long-distance running.

@@peterb31David puts in way more than 40 miles per week. When he made the SEALS commercial years back I believe he said 125-150 miles a week was his norm, and that was on top of biking to and from work, swimming, lifting, and oh being a Navy SEAL. He does not represent the average Joe at your local 5K runs.

He mentions talking particularly people who are running miles upon miles 6-8minute miles. I’m guessing more than an hour at a time. You don’t want to have your body stressing for a large portion of the day. Also if you look at extreme distance runners they all look way aged because of their face skin getting bounced all day

​@@trentonmaurer5262 also they are under the sun a lot

I do like 15 second sprints haha

Exacly. But most of the even keto/carni people are so brainwashed about the exercise. Not only endurance training, resistance training is stress for your body too. But after second one that stimulus will make your muscles bigger, stronger...

That made me laugh because I have always thought that runners look really grim when I pass them. I walk and bike because they make me smile.

@@Jachasik Yeah a lot of keto people seem to think working out “hardcore” will be good for your health. In my opinion though just doing a few exercises once a week can build a good amount of muscle and give you all the health benefits. Pushing it too hard always results in injury

@@TerriblePerfection Yeah i mean if youre enjoying it then thats no issue, i lift weights a few times a week and enjoy it Its the people who say things like: “i worked out so hard i through up! Hell yeah” that i really dont understand.

You reference two extreme options out of a billion in between the two. Also, alcoholics feel better when they have a drink; it's not a great metric for determining the healthiness of many things. Where is the evolutionary need or basis for ultra running? What purpose would it serve for an aboriginal being? Plenty of science to show the damage it does to the human body, long term and short.

I see your point it may not be the best thing for you physically but there are still a-lot of positive affects of it as well (unlike alcoholism) I think for me, the mental toughness and the endurance I gain from Ultra running out weigh the potential physical harms. Significant physical damage is not guaranteed either there of plenty of ultra runners who are in there 60s and crush it. You can’t go through life shying away from any chance of physical pain or harm, unless you want to end up weak. You can’t become stronger either mentally or physically while being comfortable.

@@dutcharnold9058 Fair enough, but no one said anything about "being comfortable." You can put yourself in plenty of uncomfortable situations that carry varying degrees of risk and test mental and physical fortitude that don't carry such a high risk of permanent damage or death SIMPLY BY ENGAGING IN THEM. I like to be smart about the potential risks of the behaviors I choose to engage in. I had to laugh at the "significant physical damage is not guaranteed" statement. That's true for drunk driving, cigarette smoking, and even heroin use. I favor activities where significant physical damage is unlikely. I may not know a ton of people, but those I know who are or have been runners, long or comparatively shorter distance, have knee, ankle, heel, and/or lower back issues. Running (short distances) may have been a part of our evolutionary development but it was done ONLY when deemed necessary (e.g., to escape predators or to catch prey), never on hard pavement, and almost never for long distances/durations. Take a look at apex predators; they don't chase prey for miles. It's a sprint, and either they win or they lose. So, whether you're predator or prey, neither engage in long distance runs. And no aboriginal people existing today run long distances because it makes them feel better. But, obviously it's your choice, so have at it if that's what you enjoy and best of luck to you.

4-5 miles is still long distance running, and will still have damaging effects sooner or later.

@@67Stu I simply do it for fun once or twice a week, so I’m not real worried!

As long as your not running 4-5 every day with no rest days it will not hurt you. It’s actually beneficial to our bones to have this form of impact. 3 days a week that distance is very beneficial.

@@67Stu no. If you have the proper recovery, Sleep, nutrition.. And if you don't do it every day

Yeah those aren’t healthy runners those are the runners that just took on running for the majority of cases of sudden cardiac death .. or they are elderly and have other issues .. I run 20 plus milers ( 60 miles ) weekly and my pulse is in the 40s .. I’ve been ultra running for 15 years and I think it’s all about how you recover and eat .. sure runners can die but you can be hit by a bus walking to your mailbox so I’m not giving up running .. it’s not drinking , smoking or drugs ..

If you’re running in athletic shoes and on concrete that is not natural.

@@dianavaldez3371 Yeah you're probably right. But so is lifting, sprinting, jump roping and skipping.

Nope go for it.

Interesting, what diet are you on now? Any recommendations for someone trying to gain weight who runs a lot and weight lifts. Thanks

Endurance related. Like meat and muscle gaining. IMHO

@@burger101ful I’d recommend everyone start raw vegan/fruitarian for 4-8 weeks for the simple reconnecting, because after only fruits and salads with no chemical preservatives E numbers etc allows you to feel what loads your body.. Adding muscle I have only stepped out as far as adding sprouted and steamed grains such as buckwheat and lentils but around this time I also started supplementing saw palmetto so I don’t know what caused the muscle building affect the extra grain or the DHT blocking affects of SP I’m accepting the fact that my experience and point of view is somewhat obtuse to the audience 😅 but follow my idea for 4 weeks minimum and your body will revolt when you eat absolutely anything with chemicals, it will slug when you eat salt or sugary foods, you will get a headache when you eat too much dehydrated foods (below 90% water) Like I said I don’t think the nutrient density is there in raw to be a mass gainer but for endurance (5k up) raw is untouchable and I have reached 4% body fat and 90% muscle according to boditrax

@@nbakes24 what do you mean when you mention “reconnecting”? Thank you 🙏

@@Gtt985 But, is it healthy? It is extremely impressive, but is it best for humanity?

You benefit more from running sprints, really. You get aerobic and anaerobic benefits and train your body to recover quickly. It's also more fun. :)

@@catherineshaw1122 You only get the aerobic benefits if you do a lot of slow easy runs, if you just do sprints and nothing else, you'll hit the wall with your running fitness and you won't progess aside from the 100m and 200m.

Humans can walk down anything because of how our sweat system works. There is no need to run after the animal. Eventually it will simply give up

Poisoning yourself with low doses is unhealthy. Btw your "aerobic" system will not get better because you cant just isolate aerobic or anaerobic metabolism. Your body will be better in that specyfic movement/exercise.

@@Jachasik lol, well that empirically not true. Go right now and take long distance runners resting heart rate than do the same to a moderate exercise individual. Yes running won’t make you an Olympic rower but any cardio consistency will strengthen your aerobic system as well.

Yes but if you're weight training you are getting aerobic and anaerobic exercise, so cardio can be as simple as short runs or better yet, running sprints.
