How about our soldiers doing this with 60 pounds of gear getting shot at. This isn’t impressive at all. Now also imagine our soldiers on dday on ww2 now that’s impressive and something to give props about
I run a mile In 4:30, 5k at 5:30, and half marathon at 6:30 pace and that is nothing compared to the best. I’ve ran thousands of miles for three years.
That form is immaculate G, genuinely. I’ve been getting into running lately and the most I can do is 7 mph for three minutes, I started at five for three though, so we’re getting there!
Start easy, do light easy runs at a pace you can maintain for 20 minutes. Start with 15-20 minute runs and increase duration over time. Once you can hold a comfortable pace for an hour (run at above a jogging speed for an hour) move onto speed/tempo/fartlek workouts. Speed would consist of fast repetitions of a distance (namely, 400 meters to 800 meters if you're a beginner) and improve your anaerobic (not consisting of oxygen use) base. Doing speed workouts will improve the speed at which you can run short/mid/long distances and will improve your pace during easy runs. Tempo workouts are workouts that consist of holding a pace where your heart rate is 85% of your max heartrate (max heartrate = 220 minus your age), or "zone 4". This pace is supposed to be faster than your easy pace but slower than your speed workout pace. This increases the duration for which you can run and the speed at which you can hold for an extended period of time. Lastly, fartleks are workouts that consist of going at a pace for a certain amount of time and then altering to a slower/faster pace for a certain amount of time. For example, you would run 2 minutes at a 7:45/mile pace and then 1 minute at a 9:45/mile pace, and then repeat for a few more times. This workout improves your stamina + endurance and your acceleration as well, since the transition into your "fast" pace has you accelerate. Besides the workouts, I'd say drink more water, get a lot of sleep, stay consistent (6 days of running a week with 1 day of rest, or 3 days of running a week with 1 day of rest if you're a beginner), and track your mileage on a watch. A watch is helpful as you can monitor your statistics and see how many miles you've run in a week/day, etc. You can also see your speed while you run, which is helpful during workouts. Another helpful thing is to build up mileage (watch or "strava" [app] required), which helps to build in consistency as you train. This consistency helps you as you train, as consistency leads to your body developing around running and bettering your body for running in general.
I was at 267 pounds and started jogging a mile every day, I’m now at 210 and run 2 miles everyday at an average of 16-17 minutes( 8mins a mile) My legs feel very strong and could just imagine how much stronger and breezier it’ll feel when I’m at 160-170 pounds. Guys go out there and start your journey if you haven’t already 🙌🙌
@@CornFed_3 I’m dieting while eating enough protein to not lose as much muscle while losing weight but no I haven’t been weight training, I want to get under 200 and start weight training
just want to put this out there, the more weight there is, the more pressure you are putting on your joints. every ten pounds on a run turns into 100 pounds of force on your joints. It's recommended for people with a bmi over 25 or a person over 200 pounds to stick with low impact exercises because of this reason BUT if you your joints feel fine and you're seeing progress, like OP commenter, it is okay to run. Please stay safe everyone
I just got back into running 3 months ago after 4 years off. I’m 54 and trying to get a new job and has a 1 mile run requirement with 8:30 time. I run 4 times a week and 5 miles each time. My pace on my easy runs is about 11 min miles. On mile three of my 5 mile run yesterday i turned it up to about 70% effort and ran a mile in 9.20. I think if i started fresh i could make the 8:30 now. Any advise. I have about 2 months until i have to run for the actual job. I also strength train with a 35 pound kettlebell 4 times a week and do sets of speed jump roping on my off running days.
@@brodog0018 It’s a security job at a nuclear plant in SC. I have been a police officer for the last 29 years. I plan on retiring from law enforcement and working for a security company making much more money. I’m really close on the run but i actually wanna run it in 8 mins flat. I’m a Marine vet and don’t like doing the minimum lol. I may be on the verge of overtraining a little. I’m taking today and tomorrow off but hitting it hard Tuesday and start working on more speed.
The legend you just mentioned Kiptum, sadly passed away in a car crash a few days ago. He went out a champion. Nice tip of the hat to him. As his countryman, I appreciate the mention.
Why are people judging your clothes.. like dude, you look comfy asf. I lost my only comfy workout outfit in the washer/dryer and i never saw it again..
He just looks funny in it, nobody is sayin these jokes maliciously. Someone said “he’s dressed like my gym crush” 😂😂. Don’t make it deeper than it is, the guy can wear whatever he wants- we’re not rioting!
I appreciate you showing you're paces I've been working on a weight loss journey. The past 2 months already lost 30 but much more to go! Btw love the vids.
@@CornFed_3stop being so dense. They never said running alone made them lose weight. Also doing cardio makes it much easier to be in a caloric deficit so yea running does help A LOT.
@@trackstar7101 look into rehab training, i'd personally recommend light squats with knee braces/knee sleeves (avoid knee wraps), but for the hip depending how bad it is you'll probably need surgery however a PT or a good Chiro (hard to find) might resolve the issue without surgery if it isnt that bad.. Search up "squat university" because of their videos i no longer have joint pain fixed my hip mobility and my strained groin
get after it! at the minute i only race 5 and 10 K, but im looking to up my distance to 10 milers soon! im doing really well for my age and people around me are recognising that, which shocked me massively. keep after it bro
@@miaa-vg9io even if you are overweight/pregnant/even injured (but can walk normally) you can still walk a mile in 20 minutes. It's not anything to be proud of. As long as you are walking the whole time you are going to do a mile
running at 7mph feels good. Running at anything less I tend to stomp step a lot. is there a heel strike technique to get less tired or simply to help me run?
@@LisaMichele It's kind of you to give this suggestion, however, it is based on what feels good. Heel strike isn't bad, but doing an unnatural foot strike is. My xc coach even told me a heel stroke prevents injury and makes running distance easier and more natural. I'd say whatever you feel comfy with
I've been running for a week and worked up to 5km in 26 minutes. Never did much running before. Helps that I'm young, and fit from living in the south of france where there seems to be an infinite amount of stairs.
