>coworkers lift and do cardio
>a few did a half-marathon recently (21km) in 1hr and 40 minutes
>other coworkers did 5km runs in 25 minutes
are these good times?
>tfw i can't even do a 5km without stopping
cardio makes me sweaty, tired and out of breath. what do?
>cardio makes me sweaty, tired and out of breath. what do?
you have to run for years mate. In the winter you go indoors on tread
stop smoking, and drink water only
1:40 ain't that bad for a casual desu. That's a 7:40/mile for 13.
Do more cardio
Working up to a 30 min 5k is the same as noon gains, it's gonna happen mostly just cuz you're trying
Your half marathon time is bad, but there's no reason it would not be at this point. It's only gonna get better.
Do this to get started.
Then apply the same kind of strategy for improving speed or distance as you like.
tried it before, failed on week 5
>implying that running marathons regularly is good for you
>implying every marathon runner has cartilage in their knees and ankles still
Why the fuck would you do this to yourself? Go swimming, or ride a bike if you want cardio.
How's life in your bubble there bubble boy?
This board is hilarious when it comes to running and cardio in general. If you can't run you aren't Veeky Forums. PERIOD

Then do week 4 twice, don't give up at the first sight of failure... you will get nowhere with that attitude!
