Yeah, I can already tell I'm gonna be suffering

I begin my marathon training next week. :(
It will suck the first two weeks, but after that it will be like sleeping.

How long has been since you ran? Running is so frustrating to me, because of how fast you can lose it.

ya, I can't handle running. I prefer biking, or sports.

Been about two weeks since I last ran, but it has been a good four months since I was really in any normal routine. I normally run three days and bike one or two, ultimate goal is to complete a triathlon but one step at a time. Did 22 out of 26.2 miles in my first marathon in January and plan on completing it this next January with another one two months after to keep myself motivated.

x2. but i give mad respect to anyone who can do it

Since I was four I have always been a runner, played soccer since I was five until I was almost 17. During middle school and some of high school I ran cross country, after high school I slowed down and about a year ago I started running again with some help.

dreamer or me? i run everyday and sometimes bike too, usually run in the morning and bike at night when all the hot chicks get off work and head out to the park to rollerblade. Since my grandfather is back in the hospital i kinda screwed up my routine, i'm going to hit it hard in the morning.

biking is much better...lol...running is gets you mad tired.

i used to be able to do 20+km in 12 mins on a bike. set the timer and bam..off
keeping my heart at 140+ bpm :ugh2:

I used to be able to run to my mailbox and back!!

Running is like torture to me, but because I find it so hard to do it and stick with it, I think anyone who can stick with it has more concentration than me.

Trying keeping that pace for 50-100 miles nogood. ;)

:icon18:^

you gotta have an ipod or its boaring as hell. i think i can go longer actually with music

:iagree:

All this talk of working out is making me want to skip an evening with a girl who is a friend and run.

took it to 175 bpm ........ god damn you gotta slow down the heart bpm like a train stopping or black out......

I use to think the same thing, but this past year I have only ever used my MP3 player once, and it was the first time I did a 15 mile run. Never use it for my daily runs or after that 15 mile run, it is just odd. I use to always use it for working out but just stopped.

Yeah, that helps, but not enough to make it worth it.

What would make it worth it? ;)

well guys, I'm out for the night.

looks like the AME tracers are a no-go...not going to spend another $600 on them :(

hopefully I'll get an ETA tomorrow on the forgestars...

some of the girls in nogoods epic thread with a disclosure of

"you catch it you keep it"

I'd be runnin' pretty damn fast

i need it, i have a ipod nano, then just bought a touch just incase one dies i can switch them out. Damn dreamer your are pretty freakin fast, are you on a road bike? i average about 15 to 18 miles per hour and i'm on my yeti. it also depends on how much foot traffic is in the way

I am not that fast, I have a road bike. I can do a very quick/fast pace on my bike for about 20-25 miles, but if I do a steady pace (normal cadence) I can last above 50 currently. My issue I am worried about is the fact that in a triathlon I have to swim before I bike. I have yet to swim in almost four years, but one thing at a time still.

Good luck with the triathlon, i think i'll stick to my mountain biking

Thanks red, I never got into mountain biking (mostly because I have always wanted to a triathlon), and the head of our company got me back into my routine a year ago so he lead me towards road bikes.

there are tons of people around me that ride on the street, i just never got into it. i ride around my block, but not to often.what kills me is there is a perfectly good sidewalk there and they insist on riding in a lane, i think the sidewalk would be a hell of alot safer, especially when you got all the idiots that are out there drivng

people ride here, but only during the cooler 3 months of the year

you would die for sure down where your at

One reason I have put off running/biking until now. The summer months are so hard to begin in.

Yeah, we have retards who die here ever year because they decide to go hiking when its 117 out. Sadly, most of the time they are locals.

i could only imagine, i actually went out to the park last week when it was around 96/97. it kept all the walkers and other crazies at home. 95% of the people out where i go can't speak english so when you come up on them it sometimes gets dangerous

dont get me started on living here and not speaking english :D

me no speako englisho

who cares, you live in america's hat.

sprechen Sie Englisch

you live in Canada's ass

if we wee canada's ass, we would be like, kim kardashian booty. And by that I mean, she would be nothing without her ass.

touche

she's actually pregnant now
