looking at starting it as I cannot run for peanuts. any tips?

Hmm not really the app is pretty self explanatory. I had a rest day between each day as each week is 3 days. Performing the running at the same time each day I found helped to not miss a day out of the week. Good luck with it

Just started running again. Was 105KG now down to 85KG. Goal for April Canberra marathon is 75KG.

Cant do any more than 10ks without injury at the moment as I'm too heavy still (176cm).

5Ks takes just under 30 mins. Long way to go but I've got 3 months.

Well hit a bit of a snag and stuffed my left knee doing a bit too much. Did 19K's with th BIL and now can only do about 3ks before the knee gives way again. I've gone back to the bike and gym to try and give some strength.

Last 5 ks was a killer. Need more ks in legs:

so I havent trained legs for over 5 weeks. First session back i did some squats which hurt to say the least.

Anyway, that was monday, my legs are still real tight and it hurts to walk. My problem is that I have to play oztag tonight, any tips on what I should do prior to the game to loosen them up a bit and help me be able to run and sprint????

So how'd you end up playing oztag? I have been training my legs quite frequently now and it's becoming harder for me to achieve sore legs after a workout, which is somewhat of a good thing.

I haven't heard of couch to 5 k. Just did a quick search on google and seems interesting. Thanks for sharing brotato.

i was real stiff for the first few runs, then loosened up towards the end but it didnt feel like i was as quick as i normally am.

once i cooled down, i felt it, legs cramped up was so hard to get out of my car

If your getting back into legs and hitting it hard with sprints or endurance, Chuck some ice on calfs or hammys, Or if near a river jump in! 15x 100m sprints with the 100m job inbetween last night, quite sore...

Here be a thread to discuss the activity of running. The good news is that it can't fail and sink to page 2 because we don't have a page 2 yet :happy:

Some topics to kick us off...

What kind of running do you do?

How far do you run and in what time?

Running for fitness or to compete?

Upcoming running events?

Run Melbourne is on the 17th of July...who is going? Why the **** not?

I train at a kickboxing gym and part of the daily routine is a 3.5km run. Back when I used to be fit I could do it in about 10 minutes on a good day. These days it takes me double that. It has up and down hills and mostly is on hard surface. Running is probably one of the best exercises in my opinion, whether on its own or as a warm up or post exercise. It does take its toll on your legs and lower back though especially when running on footpath/road. I run at 6.30 in the arvo and its a medium pace jog but if I'm looking to get fit then its a much faster pace and usually try to sprint the last few metres.

  • 3 weeks later...

After 7 weeks of holidays which consisted of 3 cardio sessions, managed to knock out a 2.4km at 8:46..

Thinking of switching to those toe shoes.. Learn to run old school and build some bigger calves :D

ive never been in this thread, and bam, something i can relate to.

I use vibram 5 fingers, used to do all my lifts in them as well.

Definitely build up leg and ankle support. Can be painful at first. Ironic moment yesterday when someone said ill break my ankle in those because they don't have any support...within 5 mins he was on the ground because of unstable footwear.

Bahah teach him to shut his mouth..

Apparently they are really good for developing better balance whilst not wearing normal shoes...

Normal shoes have stuffed up the way our feet and muscles develop

5000 years ago, if you didn't run bare foot... You were eaten :D

its not even that many years ago, even back to 1900's..

3 months is all it took for a 10yr olds foot to deform after 3 months of shoe wearing.

basically like anything, they strengthen weak spots = better

birthdayshoes.com is a good site

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
