>Sprints will do it. Compare a sprinter's legs to a marathon runner's.
I find myself puzzled as to why more people don't seem to know this. I can't explain the popularity of endurance running other than I get the impression that most people don't know sprinting exists much less what separates it from jogging. The concept of sprinting is too good to be true for most people, I guess. "Lazier runners get better health and physiques? Hogwash." Why would anyone choose masochistic self-flagellation for miles and ages when you can just do a few quick sprints and be done in 15 min while doing it 1-3 times per week. The body looks healthier and stronger from it too. Who wants to become a skeleton to win a marathon? The skeletons can have all for themselves.

Because most people seem to not care, I guess?
Or maybe because people don't know this simple fact: short and hard = strength, and long and low = endurance.
In Convict Conditioning, Wade talk extensively about how he could do so many pushups, and how that was a mistake regarding strength. Actually, you can train endurance, but it's better to do it as a special training AFTER training strength (or along), like you could train explosiveness with "clap pushup", but the core need to stay strength.
So yeah, if you want to develop strength, sprint, or if you don't want to sprint, do squats (if regular squats are too easy, just go gradually for one leg squat). Heels must touch ground btw. I actually have trouble doing close squat, because of how hard it is for me to stay stable and not fall down. I just switched to running again because I need, you know, to breath and take sun outside, rather than stay locked at home.
Leg Raise, btw, seems to really be the ultimate mid section exercise. I used, as a retard, to do abs…

A thread about running a couple of years ago would invite 20 replies of

and
>Cardio, I really hope you don't do this
meme replies. Maybe a couple of photos of Zyzz on top.
What the fuck happened? Answering cardio questions seriously without meming for a while at first? Preposterous!

Anon, it's fitness. If there are men and women in their 60's and up who can run for 26 miles and beyond, then you better fucking believe that the benefits running has on the body and heart is fucking fitness related.
That no-cardio bullshit is a bunch of boomer trolling nonsense. Besides, you could have been the one to start the "Doing cardio, ever." bullshit but you decided to complain instead, as if you're the image board authority in these parts. Pull your head out of your own ass, you stretch-queen.

The way it is often presented is nonsense, but there is a scientific point of view which makes endurance running or jogging look very unappealing.

Endurance is a problem in EVERY sports. If you 200 pushups, that's called endurance. Switching to one arm pushup, and you're training straight.
That's the same with running. You should be running fast, and on your toes. Not slowly, for a very long time.
Endurance should be trained as a "side training" to the regular strength training, like "clap pushup" is training explosivity.
Running can be replaced by Squats.

Might as well ask here, I did an 8 hour hike a few weeks ago and at the end of it had a dull pain in my right hip. It cleared up pretty quickly but now it flares up any time I walk/run after about a mile. I haven't been doing a huge amount of walking so dunno if it'll clear up by making walking more regular or if it needs seen too. Any suggestions?

Go easy on it while it heals, but get some blood flowing into it with something like the Yijin Jing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR0Ju98Jv-0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f2ksP6S5gw
There are some exercises in there that will help gently wake the hips up. If you keep them too sedentary during the entire healing process or engage in repetitive movements that lack range of motion, it may not heal fully and some function can be lost. Walking is good and can help recovery in some contexts but it lacks range of motion and may lock your hip into having less freedom if you let it heal while doing nothing but the repetitive movements of walking. Don't let the hip become too frozen, and don't let it become too inflamed.

I really enjoy running, is that momment of the day when I can focus on myself and can reorder my thoughts. Isn't boring, when I run I feel alive.
In general I run 5k to 10k. Music is a must, so I go for higer bpm songs, usually EDM or happy hardcore, but sometimes I listen to metal or rock songs.

>Actually thinking marathons are good for you
You're so fucking stupid. Even training for a marathon is shown to shorten your lifespan dramatically. Most champions drop dead at 50 because they've effectively stretched their hearts apart. The Marines had to pass a directive telling the entire chain of command to limit running to 30 miles a week, max, with 15 being the soft limit. Running a couple of 3/5ks a week doesn't kill as much gains as broscientist would like you to think, but it should always be done before lifting as a warmup unless you're literally in the military.

The optimal run is at a 4-8 minute pace for 30 minutes to an hour.
To get to that pace takes a little bit of training, but worth it so you can burn anyone that fux with u.
Also it makes your sprints faster.
And endurance

I've been running in these shoes for a while, they feel much much better then the heavily padded running shoes that cost 100+ dollars and have held up fairly well. You have to actually run properly if you're going to wear them though, as in land on the front of your foot, and not your heel.

What the fuck am I doing wrong then? Every time I go running, it quickly becomes a matter of pain tolerance – even though I have the energy to continue running, my feet start murdering me. Is it normal to have this bitch of a pain when you start running?

These might help you. You can also look online for articles that go through how different feet are effected. I myself have high arches, which means there is a space between the inside my my foot and the ground.
I tend to need very stable shoes with support and not "running shoes" per se.

fucking hell, figured it out. Took a much shorter run today to figure out what causes the pain, and realised I was landing wrong after all. While I was landing with the mid of my foot like I should, I wasn't doing it fluidly, meaning every step was more of a stomp. When I focused on making a much more fluid landing today, the pain was many times smaller.

Stupid question. How can I conveniently keep track of time for a couch to 5k without a cell phone? I dieted and went from 30 BMI to 23. I tried running while I was fat, and it was a terrible experience. But I tried a moment ago, while walking the dog, and it was fairly nice. So I'd like to try and get into running.

A stop watch, a wrist watch (most digitals have this feature for a reason!), a fucking hour glass made for the time you need, a tablet/old phone/media player, most of them have a time/clock application built in; maybe a sun dial if you're the biggest autist to ever exist. It's not complicated, just get something that measures time in a human readable format, it doesn't even have to be perfect, and follow the program.

holy fuck I spent the last few weeks running about 2.8 miles on a loose gravel road. I felt like I had regressed to when I first started out running. Just the first mile felt more like 2 or 3 miles. It's a really great workout but damn is it frustrating. Running on a beach is similar, the sand just absorbs the force of your leg as you try to push off, so you end up going nowhere.
I'm going to run on solid pavement later today and see how different it feels now.

Glad to hear it, anon. If you haven't already tried it, there was some advice posted earlier in the thread about running barefoot through a grassy field or similar. I think that helps immensely to determine what your natural stride feels like. A lot of modern running shoes seem to interrupt our bodies' natural movements and I think that's what leads to many jogging injuries.

Yeah that's the marketing speech for "natural step" and "low drop" shoes. Reality for running injuries is simpler, it's that average runner is much fatter now than in the past. Bone and sinew can only take so much repetitive heavy impact before breaking.
