watch those joints though. if you get joint pain, make sure you have the right shoes! or switch to something like swimming.ddenholm67 wrote:
If you want your build your leg muscles, then run outside. More strain on them as a treadmill wont put nearly enough strain on them as what running outside will.ThaReaper wrote:
I'm not fag at all. I'm actually underweight. That's why I want to run. I have a small slab of fat on my stomach that I want gone and I want my abs to show. I also want to build my leg muscles.
What is this "runners high"? I 've been runnung for a couple of months, several times a week, 3 miles...and I usually feel grumpy as shit afterwards..I even have anger attacks How long do you have to run for this to take effect?madmurre wrote:
Running is like dope but better once you get that "runners high" your caught nothing can stop you from running
cramp. take it easy. don't be set on two miles if you can't do it. from 1 mile, i would progress to 1.25, then 1.50, then 1.75, and so on. to get rid of that cramp make sure you get enough water and keep your hands behind your head while taking big breaths. while standing still of course, not running.ThaReaper wrote:
I just got done. I was going to run two miles, but ended up only doing one. It was pretty tough, since I never run or do anything. I got like a pain in the lower left part of my stomach, it felt almost like a cramp, but not sure. Anyways, next time I'm doing two miles for sure.
Your body will start to feel the pain from continued running. As a countery measure it releases endorphins (feel good chemicals) as painkillers to help combat this pain. You get a 'high' when this happens, you'll know when you get one.argo4 wrote:

Ever heard the term stimulate don't annihilate? You'll be setting yourself up for long term muscle problems if you continue training to muscle failure.wensleydale8 wrote:
