Re: FFR Runners

Holy crap, Bballa, those are some nice times! Not sure how I missed that post before.

Went out on my first long run today (50 minutes.) Didn't feel too bad actually. I hate running in heat so it made the run much worse. I didn't really feel that much out of breath, I was just so tired from the heat x: Can't wait until Cross practice actually starts.

Yeah it does.

I have a 5k race next week. Wish me luck.

Ran 13:39 last night in Portland. Pretty excited about it. Third week in a row racing, and went 13:56, 13:50, 13:39.

Portland weather is so nice for running compared to the South!

Very close to that 13:32!

I was hoping I wasn't the only one noticing that, haha.

Re: FFR Runners

I'm going to be completely honest, I think the most cardio I've done in the past two years was at Anime North playing ITG.

I hate everything about conventional cardio. It's so boring to me :(

Re: FFR Runners

Well, it's nice to know that you move your legs in some way, whether it's a rhythm game or not :b. But I guess running isn't meant for everyone, haha.

Re: FFR Runners

Yeah, ITG can be pretty crazy cardio at a certain skill level. I just don't play enough for it to be a consistent form of cardio. My diet right now is clean enough that I don't really have to do cardio though, so I can get by on that.

I should start doing something though. Hill sprints, tire flips, car pushes, etc. HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) seems to be a bit more fun than LISS (Low Intensity Steady State) for me.

On that note, does anyone here do any high intensity cardio? If so, what do you do?

Re: FFR Runners

I just started sprinting again. I used to be a sprinter back in school on the track team but I haven't done much running in 10+ years.

Second day out I ran a 12.87 100 m. Does anyone know if that's any good at all? I know I was completely maxed out because I felt like I had just about killed myself even after an extensive warmup...had to lay on the track for a good 5+ minutes before I could move lmao. My everything was sore.

Going to keep doing them once or twice a week at a lower intensity so I can do more intervals, and see how fast I can get.

I disagree. I've been doing long distance for over 6 years and I definitely hated running when I started my freshman year in high school. Now I'm an addict.
I think people start to appreciate it more when you're exposed to it by the right people, tools, and motivation.

Fastest kids in my school are at high 10s/low 11s 12 is considered pretty damn good, at least in our schools conference.

Some of the people in this thread are incomprehensibly fast. Awesome job!

Especially true for me. When I started freshman year (last year) I could barely run 2 minutes without walking. It was painful, to say the least. Now, after nine months of practice, I'm pretty happy with where I am, though being far from the best.

I guess that being motivated holds true the most in distance running compared to other sports such as football. Unlike other sports, running requires stamina, both physically and mentally. I can tell you that getting the encouragement from high school varsity upperclassmen really helped with my improvement, and I'd probably be significantly fatter had I not joined CC.

I only enjoy running within the context of sports. If I'm not occupying my mind, I'm bored by it.

I find simply running to be boring. If I were to do sprinting, I'd just do a variety of HIIT as opposed to just sprinting.

exactly the same way as me. running in sports>sprints >>>>> long distance, so when I run distance I have to make a good playlist so it isn't such a boring ass grind. feeling is great afterwards though but doing it is so yawn
