I'm currently trying to adjust my body to a one mile run and will try to reduce the run time to sub 7min. I do lift on the same days, but I'm still unsure about doing longer runs on my rest days with other cardio.

It's the time of year gain when every day is unbearably hot and muggy, so every run until October is gonna suck. Late night and early morning runs only for me.

Ran a few laps around the highschool track this evening. Going to the coast next week, looking forward to running on the beach again.

Are you kidding, spring and summer runs are the best, except for occasional fucking fly that lands in your eye.

A little update relating to the suggestion to lift. Two days straight, I had 8:31 minutes for my one mile run. Yesterday I did leg day, today I did my run and it was 8:04 minutes. Not sure if my leg muscles adapted to running so quickly, or if the lifts from leg day helped adjust the muscles performance. My lungs haven't yet adapted to extended cardio yet though.

Ugh, the air is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal tonight, but I got another good run in. And all the bugs forced me to breathe through my nose as much as possible, so that's good I guess.

Runner's Knee is a hell of a drug.

Runnings for fags, lift weights.

I like the idea of this thread. Went for a good 7 miler yesterday. It's been perfect running weather. Gonna head out in about an hour.

My sister took me to Orange Theory, this circuit gym where she's a member. I did run on the treadmill there, but they also busted my ass with burpees, weighted squats, and rowing. Never again lol.

I'm going to start running again, but I have to drop some weight first. I currently take walks up crazy hills in my neighborhood at a brisk pace. I probably have to find flatter trails or a track to run on (I like to run outside).

Most of my exercise during covid has been running to the tune of 90-150 miles a month.

I did 10 miles yesterday and might do another long run today.

Do you run trails or streets?

Do you run trails or streets?

Both actually!

I live near-ish to a big park that's about 3.5 miles away so to get there to the trails I run on the street first.

Unsolicited advice: Yoga is great for running recovery and life in general. Take advantage of the millions of hours of yoga on YouTube.

Yoga and pilates for runners are like my top two exercise searches on YouTube lol. I love it.

I signed up for my first half marathon for this October! Currently building up my mileage slowly in anticipation of that.

Congrats! Is it themed, or a city thing?

Thank you! It's just a local race, through the rural area where I live.

I'm trying to get into trail running but have the knees and back of a 70 year old boomer thanks to several years of military stuff (I don't think that's too much of a powerlevel). I've just been walking a couple miles at a time to try and get somewhat back into shape. Any protips for getting back into running?
