WOAH!

Okay, so I started jogging around 1,5weeks ago and could barely do a complete km at once. I just ran 5km, 3 being pretty easy (compared to the last 2)

So what do you guys think? Is 5km anything?
I'm 15 years old and i'm around 75kg and 185cm tall

Just wanna talk about jogging in general :) your experiences?

[cocaine]

how much time did it take you?

I don't know the exact time but around 40-50 minutes. Also I was wondering, do you get nice legs from jogging? What about the rest of body?

I run once a day so I can time myself tomorrow ;)

ah right. my schools annual fun run, i did 6km in 52 mins, but im a hardcore biker so my staminas awesome. and yeah as you're using the legs muscles, they'll gradually become more visible. and as jogging is cardiovascular excersise, it'll stimulate and increase your metabolic rate, and you'll find you'll lose weight over a period of time (provided you're not stick thin in the first place). im sure you know this but you'll build up stamina if you keep continuing with this excersise scheme meaning you can run for longer and usually quicker

ok, is running once a day fine or should I rest once in a while?

it totally depends on your fitness and stamina levels atm. it is probably best to limit it to once a day with the occasional rest, but at the start you'll want to take it easy, and usually once every two days. also bear in mind that if you're doing it everyday you'll get worn out and your legs will get very stiff because of the lactic acid that builds up as you excersise.

I started Jogging at 14 and within a few weeks your stamina picks up quickly. I would participate in any official runs there were like I did some running for cancer events, marathons with some friends (not getting sponsored, just running).

But don't try and do more and more everyday. Just stick to a reasonable distance and continue doing it. There is no need to keep running a further distance everytime because you make the same running the same distance.

I just jogged with a mate, bottle and music and we would just start from home and go jogging for a few miles and back. Not to long but it was good as we both play for football teams. We would do it Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. The schedule would allow your muscles and body to rest for 24 hours, the reason we did it 2 days in a row from Friday>Sat because we would work as much out of them ready for the Football Match on Sunday.

I'm sure it builds up your abs area as well?

[Aces]

you lose fat in your ab region and that makes your abs visible.

I just ate 4 donuts and 4 tacos, I'm crazy hungry!

God you do like em English donuts don't you!

I seen that other thread. Haha. ;)

I thinking that hour or so jogging was just a waste now. :P

[Immenseman]

running is easy and all about practice and ofc it's good for you, keep it up

[luce]

i go on the occasional run but it get tedious for me. I prefer circuit training it suites me because i don't get bored and it works on every area i need to play in goal for hockey.

I couldn't help myself :D

Actually, I doubt I've eaten over 2000 calories today.

The donuts have around 170 calories each

[BoomItsClowgon]

680cals on donuts alone is pretty impressive! Nachos... mmmm lol.

Not fair, weighed myself and i'm exactly 74kg and i have watch what i eat. I'm not fat either.

I feel like having some donuts now actually. mmmm those mini Sainsburys one. :P

[Immenseman]

I wish I had stamina. If you are stick thin and you 'increase your metabolic rate', what will happen? Would it just make you hungrier more often so you just eat more? > win win?

nothing, it'll just make it harder for you to gain weight. your metabolic rate is how fast you convert food/fats into energy, and if you excersise a lot your metabolic rate will be high - and thus as food substances is converted into energy more rapidly it'll be hard to put on weight.

[Black_Apalachi]

It's already next to impossible for me to put on weight o.O

Not lucky for him if he wants to bulk up big time. :P

I used to jog daily... I still do weights every two days and skip quite a bit... I walk for 20 minutes everyday anyway (soon to be 40 mins...) I'm gonna do 20 mins skipping and around 40 mins weights later, cycling is also good, and the bonus is that it doesn't put stress on your joints because your not banging up and down like jogging.

[Aces]

just ran same distance again, was a breeze.

Mom even told me the course is around 6-6.5km and not 5 :D

I'll know for sure tomorrow when I use my bike to calculate distance.

Ran it in 37minutes and didn't even push myself to the limit, was a breeze ;)

i cant see why anyone would want to do that though :(

[LoveToStack]

Asics are good running shoes, they're not expensive and they last for a long time.

[Black_Apalachi]

cos it's **** being a stick. I'd at least prefer a bit of fat if not muscle :P

It's better to run three times a week (intense) and work at about 80% of your heart rates max. Which Is usually 220-yourage (15) = 205. 80% of 205 = the BPM you should be working at.

For what benefits are you running? (to loose weight increase fitness etc)

Well if you want to become a bodybuilder or gain a lot of muscle, bulking up is what you gotta do (or you can just gain slowly without bulking a lot).
