Smacked VoodooIt is honestly. Doesn't even make sense cause I've seen a ton of US Olympic track runners and they're normally in great shape physique wise. Never understood this idea that running "kills gains" or "messes with aesthetics"
To be fair, these are sprint athletes and a lot of their routines will involve weight lifting for mass because that explosive power helps them.
On an extreme example, this is the fastest marathoner alive (Eliud Kipchoge)
Obviously he's skinny because he's not lifting to put on muscle mass, but still pretty much all muscle when you get down to it
But neither of this applies to the average person, they should just do what exercise they enjoy

Yep them incorporating strength workouts is what got them to big physique, sprinting itself won't get you there. Marathoners in general are skinner since they devote most of their time to running...
With that being said there's nothing wrong with running anyway, keeps your heart health good and helps burn some extra calories if you're on a cut. Just don't run like 10 miles a day and making that you're only source of workout, as always it depends on your goals
- Jun 9, 2021blonded
Yes, I'm young, but not every professional athlete is in their 20s. There are 30, 40 year old professional athletes. There are recreational athletes in their 50s that run as much as I did or even more.
There is no scientific research to my knowledge that says running is bad for your knees and joints. There is scientific research that says running is good for your knees and joints.
I'd suggest looking into it on your own instead of believing random running myths regurgitated by people that either hate running or don't actually run.
- Jun 9, 2021blonded
Yeah - a lot of the "negative aspects" you hear about running are just gymbro s*** because you aren't making "gains", or are from people who ran for a week, hated it, and then started making excuses.
Running is going to be as dangerous as any other type of exercise if you do it incorrectly.

rvifor the people who go on super long runs: do you carry water with you?
I use those backpack things On marathons but when I train For one I’m just using a track so I just leave the water somewhere on the track for when I need it

I miss finding new routes
Jun 10, 2021Used to run like 4 miles a day like 10 years ago and my old ass is trying to build back up to that.
- Jun 10, 2021·editedOkay Yeah
1. Get an Apple Watch
2. Download Nike Run Club app
3. Play the guided runs on “Getting Started” series. The first one is My First Run.This is akin to having a coach. It’s very difficult to train yourself. I only learned how to really run this way. I enjoy running instead of dreading it now because I’ve learnt how to actually run.
Haven't really f***ed with the Nike App ever since they discontinued the Fuel Band because I felt tracked steps/activity better than the Apple Watch, but mapping your runs is the best part of the app.
I just use the plan old Apple Fitness app.

I usually actually run the same route every day. I get anxiety trying new routes because of getting lost, messing up my timing, etc. But I'm trying to do it more.
- Jun 10, 2021·1 replyOkay Yeah
how do you train for a marathon? do you follow a structured plan?
Yeah you gradually do more and more miles every run then there is a plateau point where you start reducing miles before the marathon and start taking miles away.
