its not either or its how you set the programme up:
weights can be used to develop the heart, the lunges (whatever that means) the leg muscles, help with endurance and also weight loss, the question should be what makes you think weights cant do that and only running can?

prepping to run a marathon :D:D:D
Neither, I’ll stick to chi kung. That’s not to say running or lifting isn’t a good test of progress though because it is.
Flame On!

Reading comprehension please 
he never mentioned a marathon he said - Running can develop your lung, heart, leg muscle, endurance, and lose weight.
And i said the question should be what makes you think lifting weights can’t do these things and only running can??

I run 5min and lift weits 50 min. I feel 5 min fast run is enough for me
There are 3 types of running:
Short
Middle
Long distance.
There are MANY types of ST protocols that will give you the same “cardio” benefits of those ( NOT the task SPECIFIC benefits) with the added factor of weight bearing exercises which are very good for your bones.
In short, IF specificity is NOT important than weight training with whatever parameters you want to follow, is far better than “just running”.
[QUOTE=Frost;1237766] what makes you think weights cant do that and only running can?[/QUOTE]
When I say running, I mean “long distance running” such as 10 K (6 miles) average.
When I trained my 1st marathon, I could see my body shrank in the mirror so I know “long distance running” is good for weight lost.
When I say “lung”, I mean breathing ability. When I did my long distance running, I could do TCMA form without hard breathing. So I know it can help my lung (breathing) and endurence.
Running can give you healthy heart. No need explaination there.
Since leg is what you are using, you will get a pair of strong legs.
Can weight lifting be able to achieve that? I don’t know. I don’t see many people in the gym who sweat and breath hard like runner does.
run while lifting weights
PROBLEM SOLVED
i think if you had to pick one activity strictly for health reasons out of the two, i would say running. simply because almost every single runner i know that runs distance is in great health. not so for every weight lifter i know.
not to say that weight training wont keep you in great health, because it can and will. but over all the results ive seen from people who do happen to go to the extreme: ie; runners that dont lift, and lifters that dont run distance.
i think tho the best thing you could do is just have regular long sessions of crazy wild sex. this will keep you in good shape, you can get cardio and weight lifting aspects in, you can relieve stress, and make your woman happy (which adds years onto your life in and of itself) you can keep your flexibility up, range of motion, balance, etc. its pretty much the full meal deal.

I like how you think my good sir!
Greetings,
In NYC, I would say that 96 to 98% of the joggers out here should not be jogging. They do not have the musculature for it and are setting themselves up for shin, knee and hip injuries. They would be much better off walking briskly.
Those that I have seen who can jog have a very good musculature and great legs to begin with. Earlier this year I saw a Chinese lady jog, rickshaw style (somewhat similar to the running step seen in Long Fist styles). She really had it going on. Each step was followed by a leaping float into the next step. Her form was so beautiful. And she had the legs to do it.

After an hour of running, I feel worn out and my joints will ache the next day.
After an hour of lifting, I feel relaxed and I have a lot of pep the next day.
I do both, but I usually do long runs once a week at most.
If put on a basic, strength lifting program, chubby people lose the chub, and skinny people fill out naturally.
Daily thai pad sessions will help you to lose weight quickly.

Most runners are not smokers. This may not be true for weight lifters. When you run, you will appreciate the clean air going into your lung. When a smoker told me that he enjoys smoking. I told him that he can replace his smoking pleasure by the preasure to let his lung to breath without any problem. When you have breathing problem from smoking, you will give up anything for just 1 day of breathing comfortably. I was a pipe smoker. I was there myself.

Agree! That’s why I prefer 10K (6 miles) maximum daily (I sometime run 8 miles in one day but I try not to exceed that - it’s just too comfortable to run on the soft sand beach). Even if you may run 5 days a week, you are still running 30 miles weekly.
My wife is 9 years younger than me. I had promised her that I will out live her so she won’t have to deal with my death. It’s not easy to out live someone who is 9 years younger. That’s why I have to keep my running. I just can’t afford not to do it.
My longfist teacher is 86 years old now and still going strong. As far as I know, he doesn’t run. Maybe TCMA training by itself is good enough for longevity.

ya, that’s cuz of the modern running shoe designed to allow heel strike running…but still actually imparts the same eventual physiological issues?
hoomans were not built to run long distances, they were built to walk long distances.
so, yea, walking briskly is good. sprinting short distances is good. lifting heavy for low reps is good.
and omfg i’m ****ing repeating sh!te everyone should frakking know…
you guys realize we beat the internet, right??? case closed. drink your beer.
