Running sucks.
the main thing to remember is this...whether you walk inside or out, it is form that matters the most. when making strides go from the ball of your heel and roll to the tip of your toes completely, every time. The alternative to this, which many people unknowingly do all the time, is running or walking "flat-footed", in other words, just slapping your feet to the ground without the rolling motion
Running is awful for your spine and joints.
if you do it wrong
yeah im just lookin to get in shape again
If you do it wrong it's also bad for your lower legs and feet.
Outdoors by far. That's where the hunnies are.
lol, yeah with their strollers
tpain are you getting into shape so you can attract some broad to marry so you can finally get your weenie wet again?
You gotta find a better place to start running then.
lolololol
lol no its not that, i always thought it was somewhat stereotypical that hot chicks who run actually turnout to be moms
Not true at all. Many are just hot chicks that wanna stay hot. I don't know how old you are, but nothing wrong with a hot single mom. Some are smoking hot.
yeah single moms are ok its just id rather take care of my own kid, lol! (im 21 by the way)
Well I'm equal opportunity I'll hit anything that looks good as long as they arn't married or a homeboys girl or sister.
Any of those are preferable to someone with a child (i.e., a legal rather than personal burden) dangling along.
damn thats kinda tough living on fredericksburg and callaghan, but then again, im only 21 and my knees arent that vulnerable...yet.
I hate treadmills. I get bored, even watching TV or listening to headphones, and I can't go very long on them. Plus, I think the pounding on my knees is worse then running outdoors. Stationary bikes I find equally boring, but at least you can try to get some reading done on them.
When I run outdoors do as much on grass and trails as possible.
When outdoors isn't an option, I do elliptical machines, which are much less boring because I use the cross-training mode which has you do different things every couple of minutes. They're also easier on the knees than either treadmills or running.
If Rocky IV taught us anything..... it;s that outdoors >>>>>> treadmill
We don't have any snow or logs...
I thought there was a track at UTHSC near there.
As for my input, I'm a new runner, but so far, I've enjoyed running outdoors much more than the treadmill, running on a track is better for my knees than running on asphalt or on the canals around here, but a tad more boring. If you've got a good playlist, it's tolerable. Treadmills make me a little nervous because I'm always afraid of missing the belt and biting the dust (in fact, I almost did this last night, but caught myself!)
I like both, but to running on a treadmill is better for me because of my knee. An elliptical is even better because there is no pressure on that knee. I watch a lot of TV when I am on the treadmill. The time goes by faster.
what? I thought everyone had a big barn and a pulley'd bag of rocks in there backyard!
