Some soreness and throbbing in my right Achilles tendon that lasted for two days.

Good thing I didn't pull it because the pain from doing that can be excruciating.
What do you eat when you do that ?


Personally my best run was like 50 min I think. And then I had pains in my knees for two weeks somehow... I could barely walk. Maybe I was a fucking idiot and didn't prepare before running or stretched badly. But this shit traumatized me to the point where I'm scared to run more than 30 minutes :pepecry:

No need to run for the entire stretch (whether it would be 30 minutes, or 50 minutes, etc). Walk first to warm up, and then when you feel like running, run at a slower pace for a minute or two at a time.

Repeat the above process but your body might reach a point where you're okay with speeding up a little bit.
  • First 5 to 10 minutes: walk at a brisk pace
  • After 10 minutes: jog for a minute or as long as you want to.
  • Walk for 5 minutes
  • Start running a bit faster for a minute, or longer if you want to.
  • Repeat.
No need to push yourself too hard during the running phases either since the duration of how long you can run without being winded > how fast you can run.

Oh, and don't eat at least two hours before the run. The body spends its energy digesting food the first couple of hours and that's going to affect your concentration levels during your workout.

(Finally broke the 10 mile mark, but it took me 104 minutes to do it.)

Well did you do it out of a sudden or were you training for it before?,

Do you incorporate some planks and abs workouts too ?
 
Hehe

Abs olute Batman,
Oh you were talking to me in the post above ?

Anyway, I just read it to kill time and it looks "good" I guess. Kinda different. Or maybe the authors just took the plot and reversed it haha.

Kettlebell Swings mainly and the abroller.
Those should work for the abs and the posterior chain.
Thanks I'll check into these exercises.

Isn't ab roller very difficult ?

Getting cold out there. I might have to run a treadmill like you. Or just buy a hoodie :quest:

There's levels to the ab-roller. You can even do it with knees on the ground to make the exercise easier.

The kettlebell swing is just swinging a kettlebell. Other than tightening your lower back during swings, it's not a terribly difficult exercise.
