hey guys ive started running and i feel really good after my runs so i've started running more often and i keep trying to push myself.
my question is: does this good feeling you get after exercising go away the same way you stop getting high after smoking the same amount of reefer?
or will i continue to feel good after exercising for the rest of my life?
anybody?
I've been running for a few years now and it still feels good.
do you find its better to run in the morning to keep yourself in a good mood for the rest of the soul crushing day, or is it better to accumulate all that stress and release it at the end of the day by going on a nice run (and then jerking off afterwards)?
Good news user, it actually gets better the more you do it. At first you feel like shit. The first run you get back and want to puke, your legs hurt, you can't breathe, you feel sore and achy and everything sucks. After awhile you feel pretty good. It doesn't hurt you feel good afterward, you want to keep pushing yourself, you can do it regularly, you feel the runners high. And after awhile you get addicted to it. Every rush of hormones during and after your run feels even better. You crave it. That fix feels amazing and you need it.
It only gets better user.
lol
Not the person you asked but I personally am incapable of doing sports in the morning therefore I usually run between 5-7pm in the evening
i know what you mean i always feel good after some cardio
but not lifting for some reason
yeah i wonder why that is?
lifting makes me feel good psychologically but after ive done cardio my entire life feels 10x better
i started running.....i went about a mile and had to walk about half way. going to keep doing it until i can run the whole time. I always get a pain in my side after running a little ways
first time running in awhile?
when i first started running i didnt even bother going outside, i just started jogging in place until i got to 20 minutes then i started going outside.
the first mile is hard since ur lungs arent used to it but i think the pain should go away when ur muscles get strong enough to support ur body?
i haven't run ever. i can't stand doing 'stationary' type things like that.....i could do treadmill stuff, since you can watch tv, but being outside makes the time go a little faster.
I prefer night because there are less people and it is easier to conceal a pistol in my running jacket.
Probably because we have evolved to physically exert ourselves. It definetly helps to de-stress thats for sure. I love the clear feeling you get in your chest after a good run
I received my first pair of Vibrams over the weekend and I'm super hype to run in them for the first time tomorrow. I'm new to running but I decided that I'd force myself to run with proper form now rather than later. Do you guys have any tips or recommendations? I'll be following the program in pic related.
hm. really pertinent topic. as a running addict, i would say that running does function similarly to weed. that is, the more of it you do, the more it takes to reach that "runner's high" all runners crave. back when i started, all it took was a 3 mile run to send me smiling through the rest of the day. nowadays, it takes a lot more. for example, i went on a 14 mile run this morning and already i'm feeling pretty antsy, unfocused, etc..
this is why i prefer to run in the middle of the day instead of the morning. i like to go to bed in a relaxed mind state, and that's really only possible if ive run within the past 6 or so hours.
is it too late to return those vibrams?
for someone who is new to running...
thats almost like someone buying a top of the line fishing pole when they dont even know the basics of how to cast yet
It's better to learn proper technique while starting out than it is to learn improper technique.
yeah but theres nothing about regular running shoes that precludes you from learning proper technique.
meanwhile there is alot about vibrams that could preclude you from running, namely the higher incidence rate of injury both from the lack of foot protection to the increased incidence of bullying and homophobic accusations
this guy knows what hes talking about
i know your plan seems logical, but we'll see how logical it seems once you've been running a few weeks in those shoes... better to ease into proper form, especially if you're so out of shape for running that you're doing couch to 5k.
I run before I hit the weights but I alternate the speeds on the treadmill. I'll go about a minute of a fast-paced walk, then a minute of a fast jog, then a minute of full on sprint and it's honestly knocked a few pounds of fat off me. I feel alot leaner than before I started running
Oh and I usually shoot for about 2 miles at the least
I'll prove both of you wrong.
