Running

[Mark Bolam]

Need to start running again because my cardio fitness is awful and I have literally developed a spare tyre round my midriff in the last few months.

 

I have invested in some decent trail trainers after having 'gait analysis', as I prefer to run off road when possible.

 

The thing is, I don't want to turn into a 'racing snake' and lose the upper body mass I have worked hard to build.

 

Any tips or general chat welcome.

I need to kick my ass in to gear meant to be running a half marathon mid march well the day after my birthday infact, bad times

If you stick at the lifting, you'll be in no danger of catabolising the beefcake.

I use to run for kent in the days before fags booze and women were discoverd I havent ran anywhere in about 3 years.

 

I think running shorter harder runs will keep the upper body strength there if possible trying to do sprints in a field maybe where you sprint 50 m -walk 25- sprint 50m etc.

 

Good luck and have fun before I die I inted to run a marathon

Apparently its like walking but you move your legs quicker!

 

We did it in PE classes in school but since buying a car I hardly have to even walk these days.

Have been training hard for the Marines for a long time, running about 25 miles a week, most weeks for ages.. I have not lost any muscle mass ever, i have only continued to grow because i still go gym and contunue with my 'bodybuilding' routines ive been into for years, and have kept the diet right, mostly...Have looked a bit minging when bodyfat gets a bit too low and get pumped up, vein city!

 

Eat right, continue to use your muscles you have built up as usual, and you will be fine.

What about circuit training mark? I get bored running but really enjoy circuit training try an mma club in your area you can do the circuit truing without doing the fighting meaning getting all the conditioning without the black eyes

[Mark Bolam]

Thought about that Lorry, but I haven't got enough tats or bling for the clubs down here, and I don't have a Staffie.

Just think of Forest Gump, he was a pretty good runner.
