Re: FFR Runners

Would long distance walking be okay, cause I walk like 10 miles a day almost.

It's what I do

Re: FFR Runners

Oh cool, a running thread. Hello everyone.

Currently unable to run due to an achilles injury, so I envy all of you.

I am in the same boat of having injuries. If I wanted to start running again I would have to spend around $600 for proper footwear and insoles, as well as braces, in order to be able to safely run again. I would also have to start by walking an obtuse amount until my knees and feet stopped tweaking out before I'd be able to start running. :C

Re: FFR Runners

Zag, it'll run about 4-6 weeks depending on what kind of PT you do

Re: FFR Runners

I can make different categories.

Im also riding the injury S.S.

Tore the ACL in my right knee in gymnastics in january, looking to have surgery in may/june. Im getting fat and feel very unconformable not being able be active. I find my self scooting now because my knee cant take a full hit from running, feels like its going to buckle.

Re: FFR Runners

Pfft running.

I have pretty bad IT band syndrome and haven't been able to fix it. Used to like running (albeit not nearly as much as lifting) but I can't run for more than 10 minutes now without being in agony.

No other activity does it to me so I haven't done much PT for it. Was told I was highly susceptible to it anyway because I'm extremely bowlegged. Shit out of luck I guess.

Can still sprint though, and I'm pretty fast (~12 second 100m if I'm in condition).

Re: FFR Runners

It really sucks that so many people have some sort of injury. I've seen your lifting stats reach. Very impressive.

Re: FFR Runners

Ran a 11:28 for the 3200m at an invitational on Thursday. PR'd by about 40 seconds!

Re: FFR Runners

Didn't see this until now. Thanks, Danceguy!

Ran overall decent at my last dual-meet yesterday.

1600m: 5:22
3200m: ~11:40

Making districts is going to be harder than I thought o:

Re: FFR Runners

Maybe it's just Canada then. I can't find a good pair for under $100

It's Canada

My recent Ecco Bioms were upwards in the 200-250 range, I probably should've waited for a sale but oh well.


I run about 7k (3.5k twice) a day most days of the week.

That 1600 is good for sure though =p

And the 3200 hrm

I wish I had a Long Distance running group to officially time stuff with, it'd make it much more competitive

When I was about your age, you had to be under the 5 minute mark if you wanted to make it. Those kids are wicked scary honestly.

Time?

Re: FFR Runners

I don't time it, more for general exercise. Competing with yourself is boring to me. I'll try to set a timer and get a general time when I can remember. I don't usually push it hard, though I could... but uphill is so hard T_T

Re: FFR Runners

Thanks, Magicturbo. c:
And oh wow, nice. 5k is enough for me in XC, haha.

And to qualify for districts in the mile, the requirement if 4:52 I believe. I can definitely get it my junior year but this year is doubtful, still possible though. Not sure about 3200m, but I'm definitely going for that as well next year.
