I hate distance running more than almost every other athletic exercise; that’s why I do it so much.
sprints-not jogging. Ever notice how marathon runners look like ethiopians and sprinters are jacked? Sprints release growth hormone and boost fat burning, while developing lean mass.
Running is done first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, utilizing the fat storages for fuel, rather than food. Breakfast is muscle milk lite, next breakfast is 4 egg whites,1/2 cup oatmeal,water. Lunch is chicken breast on whole wheat. Snack is muscle milk lite, dinner is baby spinach with a can of tuna thrown in, carrots,tomatoes, or a frozen Beverly Hills diet dinner-330 cal-qbout 30 grams protien. Lots of water during the day and weight training/lien gung during the week. My lien gung consists of different pushups, jars, rings,iron bars,and grip strengthening. I will be adding hindu squats,hindu pushups, and others as my trainng intensifies, but no standard weightlifting.
[QUOTE=hskwarrior;759481]Becca,
Take It From Me. I Feel No Matter How Much You Hate Running…you Would Change Your Mind If In My Shoes.
Personally I’d Give Anything To Be Able To Run Again. Since I Became Paralyzed From The Waist Down, Running Is Only In My Dreams. Literally.
I Know Im Just Butting In, But Trust Me, You’d Think Differently If Your Legs Were To Be Taken From You.
Keep It Up.
Peace[/QUOTE]
wait…sorry to be so nosey…You’re paralyzed?
so you cant walk or stand or anything?
do you still practice upper body stuff?
you know, i hate running too.
oi, i ride my bike A LOT, but it doesnt seem to cover what i need and get from running.
reading all this…I have to go run now.
THANKS!:mad:
yep, still hate it
I hate running because my shins are always talking to me when I do it… hence why I tend to gravitate to the stair machines, or the eliptical. Escpecially one over in the corner of the gym that I’ve nicknamed “the beast” because its lowest resistance level is nightmarish compared to every other eliptical I’ve ever used… and since the feet move in a more elongated circle, it’s a bit more like a jog than the vertical pedaling of most such machines…
I hope when I lose enough weight, my shins might shut up and I can jog without problems.
shin splints are strains of the tibialis muscles on the front of your shins. Do stretches and reverse toe raises with weight-like backwards calf raises. You can do this sitting backwards on the leg curl machine if your gym doesn’t have a separate machine for this.
my knees kill me when I run too far. Got anything for that 
[QUOTE=TenTigers;760634]Of course,Chao-Sifu making me do freakin tornado kicks yesterday didn’t help either.

Doesn’t it somehow seem like instructors everywere know exactly what to plan for the class to do to agrivate a spacific injury or complaint. Kind of like mom always seemed to have eyes on the back of her head?
No dice in running either dog thismorning. Sissy was also acting like she was hurting, so all 3 of use just walked. I’m going to have to make up the workout after work, maybe with bo staff training. Or I’ll just say the heck with the blisters on my hands and do nunchaku; I haven’t worked my chuks in a while, either.

Have you tried tape? put a peice of sports tape around your anckle, on your sock to prevent hair pulling, just tight enough that you can’t slip a finger under it. This is 'sposed to help keep the foot bones from spreading. I don’t know if it does, but it seems to help with shin pain.
SHC - Don’t run so far, you old f@rt!
Well, the puppies got plenty of exersize yesterday anyway. My dad came over and “fixed” thier run. He then let them out in it and left them with the theory that they’d show him where the wholes were. It took me and my oldest son 2 hours to catch Sissy, though Sonic Lazy-butt came back on his own after about 45 minutes.
We did, indead, find the wholes, though. And I worked my Intro to Nunchaku with my left hand anyway, as I really did need to do practice with my left hand. No, we did not go for a run this morning…

any recommendations for starting a sprinting program like this without access to a track? i could measure some areas in my neighborhood with my car to get approximations, but i honestly had my heart set on running in the woods.
this is also keeping in mind that im lifting 3 - 5 days a week (comps in june and sept) and doing jiujitsu 2. do you think a run in the morning a few days a week woudl be too much?

about what?
fixed … in it … wholes … and find wholes.
what? 
Now I’m confused… Are you talking about my dad messing up the dog run trying to fix it?
i’m not sure
um… ok…
Anywho. When for a nice run with Sissy this morning. I think I might be comming down with something, becuase I actually enjoyed the heck out of it. You know how you get into the groove? The weather was just right, the sun just peeking over the horizon. Sissy was running nice today rather than looking for small furry things to lunge after. Had my I-pod loaded up with Danzig’s older stuff, and I just ran. I haven’t had that much fun running since high school, pre-injury; back when I actually liked to run.
