I love cardio and quit lifting so I could do more of it.

Asses
Fucking
Music
Girls i'm into
How most people can't run even a mile.

I've been casually writing a book and I use my cardio time to think about that. Things like trying to play out dialogue in my head and decide if it works.

Before I did that I just tried to put interesting enough music on my ipod to enjoy that.

>MY
>GODDAMN
>SHINS

Your overdoing it

thinking about my ex gf from 7 years ago.

this is why indoor cardio on treadmills is actually beneficial because you can set up a series or something to watch on you r phone and just go for it

I use a stationary bike that has a setting of 1-20 resistance.

100% this

Why is Angie so perfect?

it's hard to read SUBS while running

LE EBIN I HATE CARDIO MEME FROM ZOZZERS WHO EVEN BOTHER WITH IT

was meant to this

Why does literally every single fucking form of cardio hurt my damn shins and ankles so much?

this

Genocidal tendencies.

i simply can't do it for more than five minutes
i'll lift and diet without cheating, but I fucking hate running

are jump ropes a decent alternative?

planning stuff like eating and other things the first 10 mins. after that dead blank nothing and just focus on running.

every morning with my 5 km runs, I just shut down my mind and run it.

>girls
>the weird dog-looking pattern out on the first floor that looks a little like Jake the dog
>trying to get down to 185
>work
>other imaginary scenarios

If I'm lucky, a bullet.

> don't look at the time
> don't look at the time
> FUCK, I SAID DON'T LOOK AT THE TIME! Goddammit, we've got 9 more minutes of this shit.

Wow I can run fast, wow trees and stuff, wow thoughts about life, wow I'm so tired, wow just 1 more km

Forgot the part where:
wow cardiobunnies

>my knees hurt

Oddly, when I jog, I focus very hard on my breathing. Specifically, breathing in and out as slowly as I can, through my nose. Breathe in for four steps, breathe out for four steps... For some reason if I just breathe normally I get gassed out very quickly.

I imagine im in the race war chasing down my shitskin victims

I do this too

Went to see a movie with this girl and she commented on how deeply I breathed

You have no idea how useful this is going to be for me

>her

counting

one
two
three
four
five

s'en

eleven twelve (while breathing in)

Thinking about my breathing.

Smash the ground under my feet.

Holy hell this. Many a time I'm grinding my teeth telling myself it's only 10 more minutes.

Indoor treadmills and biking are boring as shit, not to mention treadmills are bad for you. If you're gonna run find a scenic trail somewhere.

15 minutes in i start dreaming about being a superhero

Why are treadmills bad?

I listen to this on repeat

Yes i want to go snake mode

Running outdoors is a form of meditation man.
>tfw the runner's high after getting 2 or 3 miles into your run and all of a sudden you can just bust out another 5 miles easily without even realizing it
best feeling in the world desu
>tfw you gave up lifting to become a full-time runfag
fuck you guys it's more fun

Reddit tier response.

I like to think that if a person who is worth 3/5th's as much as a real person grabbed my phone and ran away with it while i'm on the subway that I'm fast enough to catch up to him, keep him in my sights, and run him down, because we all know that tyrone has shit endurance.

Biel

Fpbp

I try to think about anything else except for how fucking out breathe I am. Fuck.

Stop smoking brah

Her.

Alien invasion where I'm the last hope and for some reason I can use alien weapons even though it's dna encrypted for alien use.

I hate every second of treadmill running

When I am running outside I don't really think about anything. My mind is pretty blank

>fuck I'm tired
>Why do I run after working out
>How long left
>I wanna go home already
>How long left
>Shit my breathing is off 1,2,1,2,1,2
>What's today? Did any anime air?
>Of fucking course not nothing good ever airs on Tuesday
>How long left
>Was that a girl? I can't tell without my glasses on
>Man I'm tired
>How long left
>I wish my friends called me
>How long left
>Am I making a lot of noise running?
>I feel like people are staring at me
>I probably run like a retard
>Don't look in the mirror
>How much more?
>Wonder what I'll eat when I get home
>Okay I'm almost done
>Alright I'm really close to finishing
>Well it's not like I have anything to do at home anyway
>About to finish
>Thank God it's over

On my 6am weekend runs before the sun rises, I keep thinking to myself "What Would All Might Do?" Then I start screaming "THE DAY HAS COME" whenever my legs feel tired and force myself to run a bit harder. I get mad adrenaline rushes off of this.
As a result though, I usually wake up again around 8AM in a field after passing out.

the music I am playing

>Wow look at the water
>Look at those trees
>Should I be breathing harder?
>That's a cute doggone
>Let's see if I need to do four sets of 30-60's when do I sprint again
>27...28....29... Fuck I think I should be jogging now
>57...58...59...60... Fucking missed the sprinting time. Now I have to add the extra time left over
>I gotta beat this guy
>Hah cardio bunny was totally mirin my pace
>shit, there's a bunch of other runners, gotta look fast
>Wish I was at home....

For the first few minutes it's about making sure I'm running properly, form is good, noticing any weird points like if I'm sore from anything.

Then about 4 minutes I hit the state I maintain where I'm focused on shit like Batman and Nightwing. I'm focusing in telling myself they can do this shit easy and their lives depend on it. Nightwing especially is my go to character for motivation, and I imagine myself decked out in his gear, doing various acrobatics and shit across a city, and I keep telling myself that if I want that, I gotta get my cardio in shape.

Those thoughts race through my mind until my cool down where I'm usually dying for air and focusing on snapping out of the vigilante state.

Sure it's autistic, but it gets shit done

I think about my failures in life and why I must keep running along with other things - to be better in general and make sure I don't fail as I had before.

Make believe fantasy scenarios where I smite my enemies

The books I read.

bad 4 ya joints, this is the first time ive been on fit for 5 years and i only clicked this thread bc of the hot chick. Im actually about to run on a treadmill though because ive destroyed my nervous system with alcohol and drugs.

I usually have an audiobook or something going. Expands my knowledge and distracts me from how hard it's getting to breathe right.

nothing. I don't aromatase my free-test, i save it for lift conversion.

I think about how much better I'm going to look in a few more months. I'm obsessed with losing weight currently and it helps to let it consume me for a while.

What i could have done to be a better football player

>should have played fullback

in this order:
>my day past, or day ahead
>life
>my breathing pattern
>reasons to stop running and rest
>reasons not to stop
>nothing, just zone out

fuck son, let it go.

>fuck
>marry
>fuck
>kill

you get the picture
that or fucking nothing because its easy to zone out while you're doing cardio
if you have the ability to bitch in your head then you aren't focusing enough

"it'll be worth it"

This

>What goes thru your mind during cardio?
...
>Am I in the correct power zone?
>Stupid fucking squirrel, GTFO of the way!
>Oh look, boobies! Hurray for summertime boobies! Yay! :-)
>Damn, that guys' bike needs the chain lubed like right away, squeaks like a motherfucker
>"ON YOUR LEFT!" fucking casuals, they need to get to the right and stay there!
>"MAKE A HOLE, PLEASE!" goddamn pedestrians think they're the only ones out here
>Ack, bugs! I FUCKING SWALLOWED A BUG *HACK HACK COUGH COUGH*
>6 minutes down, 50% done with this interval, then only 4 more to go..
>Hmm, what should I make for dinner later?

(I'm a bike racer so my 'cardio' is always on my road bike doing some sort of structured training)

I just kind of zone out and don't think about anything.

>xD

check your footware and your running "technique". You might be putting more pressure on certain areas of your legs than you should be.

It sounds fucking stupid, I know, but I learned to run "correctly" and in better shoes.

mah nigga, I got a soundtrack of metal gear on my phone. I put this on and its instant adrenaline rush.

A bullet

>SONO CHI NO SAMADE
>fuck, first mile and my legs hurt
>fuck, second mile my legs are great but chest is hnng
>fuck, all these high test milfs
>fuck, all these pale skinned qt3.14s
>wow there's so many people here just walking at a snail's pace
>why do these old mexican women walk side by side and block the whole track
>maybe if I look pissed off and start running they'll move out of the way and stop blocking the track
>yay it worked
>tfw last year I weighed 40lbs less and this shit was way easier
>tfw ex was a gains goblin who sapped my determination, and I was weak enough to let it happen
>tfw such is the flow of causality
>I wish I had my bag to hold my keys
>oh look I'm done

The anger I feel at myself for not keeping up with my regimen last year pushes me.
Lads, if you EVER date a fat chick, here's a tip: don't.

The whole of our relationship was
>lol yeah let's go run
>omg wait I have to do this n that first

It wasn't until we broke up that she got serious about it. Now our weights from last year are reversed. Do not be the weak willed faggot I was, no matter how fat them titties are and how good it felt to fuck them.

Love running normally but running in the summer and maintaining the same speeds that you had in the winter is definitely a test of will power, I still rather miss a day of lifting then a run day

"this is what you wanted" "this is what you wanted" "this is what you wanted" etc etc

>tfw big cums

I listen to podcasts and shit...it's sounds dumb but people having discussions activates my ADHD and I go down a mental rabbit hole and end up doing an hour on the treadmill.

[BLOODY STREAM]

Any resources for technique? I have a lot of pain in my shins when I run. Might just be my flat-ass feet.

Your mom said the same thing bitch

>>>/reddit/

maybe your shoes are not very good. try out some new shoes.

also, are you very overweight? if so it will cause more pain.

I'm 6'1, 185. I play rugby for my uni and have no issues with shin pain on the turf. I guess it must be my shitty shoes and the pavement, I'll try some new ones out, thanks.

Nothing, at least when I have music on and running outside.

Treadmills are boring and fake, ellyptical and stationary bike too. Row machine is the only one I like.

invest in some good shoes my friend...

You are too heavy to run on pavement, its the same for me. Stick to dirt trails. I got custom-fitted molded soles and real shoes but i still cant run on pavement and not feel it the day after.
