Running Help? Any Runners out There?
Okay so I hate running. Loathe it. Since I was in second grade and we had to run 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 yds and finally the most dreaded: THE MILE. I sucked. I sucked every year. But I was the top two in sprinting I could go pretty fast. I was a gymnast and I still have very muscular thighs so I’m not weak I have a lot of natural muscle tone — mostly muscular quads. This makes me think I’m more of a sprinter, especially since I did long and triple jump last year. My coach got me going really fast with different drills. But I really want to begin running long distance, but I can’t seem to do it. (My mile in middle school was more than 10 minutes but I went fast for the first quarter, then slower and slower until I walked and was scolded for doing cartwheels). I have tried to pace myself, but I feel I still get slower and slower anyways. it’s like I have no endurance.
Recently I’ve tried running, but it ends up being more like a jog. The most I can jog is 3/4 mile without stopping. And man does that feel uncomfortable. I’m out of breath when some people can run that in faster time whilst talking!! I really don’t have good cardiovascular endurance and I guess I’m just not in good cardiovascular shape.. I’m not fat either. i’m a bit over 5’6 and 127 lbs as a girl. If I can remember correctly I was like 17.5% body fat so I don’t know if I just don’t like pushing myself or what. My brother cannot sprint AT ALL but he can go on a pace for days!
Please please give me tips!
Anyhting you runners used as technique? Should I just stick to cycling classes and yoga and do things with short twitch muscle? Any ways to trick myself into running more or anything you’d like to say?
Many people experience this problem. I, for one, can do both. I can sprint the 100 meters very fast, and I have excellent endurance to do the mile. My recent mile was 6:47. But, I wasn’t always like this. I LOVE to run, and it comes naturally to me. Like you, I have a runner’s body. Last summer I moved and was much too preoccupied to run. I was doing other things, and got out of shape. To get get back in shape is not necessarily losing weight or getting hard muscles, in this case it would be getting your heart in shape. I have no doubts that you are a fit person, but you will have to train your body to go farther than you think it can. It won’t happen over night, mind you, but it can be done.
Try this: See how long you can keep one pace. To do this you can run with someone who is good at keeping the same pace, or maybe a dog, since they have set gaits that you can watch. (This works better with bigger dogs.) Once you’ve found your pacer, find the distance you can go until you cannot go any farther without slowing down. You’ll know about this time when you start to slow down, put your face up instead of straight, or you lag behind your pacer. If you don’t know the distance, go with time. SLOWLY improve on that, pushing yourself each time. Maybe add two minutes to your running time every other day, or a half mile more, whatever suits you. As long as you are doing the same or more than the day before, you’ll be making improvement. They key here is to slowly improve on the skills you already have. Within a few months you could be running several miles and talking to other people as well!
Hope this helped!
Out takes from Mike Dennison’s Runner’s YogaDo we cut too much slack to baseball players being too old?
I’m following Ken Griffey Jr. and his return to Seattle. Born in Nov of 1969, he is now 39 and a half years old. No longer "the Kid" by any means, but truth be told, he’s not that old. Well, until we start talking about baseball players. Look, I understand as you get older your hand eye coordination slows and we can’t expect him to hit as well. But the way the papers and news pendents talk, you think this guy was about ready to collect social security. From ESPN.com I just read an article that said the manager sat Griffey out the day game (having played the night before), "probably a wise choice due to his age."
Does anybody think we’re cutting baseball players too much slack? Shouldn’t we expect more from their fitness levels. Haile Gebrselassie currently holds the world record in the marathon and will make an attempt to break it once again shortly. He’s just 3 and a half years younger than Griffey. He’s running over 100 miles a week. And his marathon time? Well, he runs around a 4:44 mile split;I couldn’t even do that in HS after 4 years of track (granted, I wasn’t the most gifted of athletes).
OK, Griffey may have had his injuries but in speaks to the larger point: these guys are going out and pulling hamstring muscles and having groin pulls all the time. 35? That’s not old–that’s when long distance runners hit their peak. Is there some internal culture where the baseball managers don’t push their althletes to stay in shape in the off-season. I mean, run at least 3 miles each day (and that’s not much folks), windsprints and yoga to stay limber. Or are these guys just showing up to Spring Training completely out of shape and hoping they’ll get a good workout running around the bases a few times and doing a few sprints on the field 2 hours prior to the game. Is it just me, or does it seem like we set the bar too low for these guys? Love to hear your thoughts on this…I could be completely out in left field here.
Long distance running and baseball are not the same. 39 is very old. Generally, the peak for baseball players is before 30.
EDIT: Captain Hawk, Griffey has returned to Seattle.
EDIT2:Baseball players are in better shape than they ever were, and improvements in medical treatment have allowed careers to be extended. And they exercise, hard. And for many, year-round. But baseball also has a lot more high-stress (though short-term) activities than long distance running does.

Los Angeles Marathon……?
So here is my deal and wondering what you all think about it. I am 31 yrs old, 6’1" 164 lbs. I am not a runner actually really can’t stand it but always been able to run not sure why. I am an avid surfer for cardio, strict diet and take Bikram Yoga a few times a week. Last year I ran the Marathon in just under 5 hours 25 minutes without running for maybe a year prior. Once again this year I am running the Marathon and last time I ran was last years Marathon. I am in better shape this year and actually dropped 30+ lbs since last years. I was wondering if there are avid runners out there is a time of 4:30 out of my league? Last year I was fine until Mile 20 where I slammed into the wall at full force, Mile 20 to 26 was the tough part. Just wondering what your thoughts were on this topic.
Thank you.
Remi
No you got it right. I have always been an athlete compete in JIu-Jitsu, surf, Yoga always challenging myself. To answer you, yes I have no run since last Marathon and yes I will finish this one with a time under 4:30.
hmm….
A marathon is tough
are you trying to run the whole thing or what?
well if you do then every week run one mile
then the next week run two miles and so on
