Have you ever went running? You know how it feels, when every single breath just doesn't get enough oxygen into your body and you curse each moment you have to exhale because you worry in that moment you might die? You know that pain in your muscles, the cramping and joint pain? You know that feeling when the blood is pounding in your ears and you can feel your heart pushing through your chest? Well right now, your body can recover and become stronger. When your older, it simply can't.
So suffer it now, or you'll be forced to suffer the exact same problems through the final years of your life. 24h a day you will struggle to breath and your joints will hurt. Until your frail body collapses on itself. You'll wake in the night, struggling to be healthy, and wish you had done more cardio when you were able.
Not sure if I completely accept your premise, but I have started jogging finally. I'd been out of the gym a couple months, which made it easier to start.
Now I'm back in the gym and doing both, and it feels_good_bro.jpg

Anyone that feels that way when running is a fat fuck. Sure you'll feel somewhat out of breath and what not when running but the adrenaline and the rhythmic breathing counter that and makes you want to run more and more until you look down at the timer and see you just blew your PR out the water.
Anyone who avoids cardio is a dumbass.
Bentley Harris
Running is literally the worst form of cardio, though.
Connor Wright
Just ran my first marathon on Sunday, 3:12. Feels good man, except my legs are sore as fuck but oh well
Jayden Adams
Maybe, but it's probably the most accessible for most people.

Parker Torres
are you dumb why would you willingly run on pavement RIP knees
Jeremiah Garcia
Fuck you buddy
Aaron Mitchell
I'd rather row. Or swim to be honest.
John Torres
What else do you fucking run on if there is no track available?
Oliver Lopez
There is no way that you don't have a gravel/turf/dirt track somewhere close to you. What's it worth, convenience and destroying your knees after 3 weeks or being sensible?
Hudson Howard
There is exactly one and it's locked.
Jaxon White
whats the consensus on stone? like the types of routes that go through parks?
Lucas Barnes
double fugg
gud commercial
Xavier Rivera
It's the same as asphalt - not as bad as concrete, but still terrible for knees+ankles
Mason Bennett
Where is the dedication??
Chase Lopez
Yes, I have. I've gotten to a point where I did 12-16km every other day.
I will not run anymore. There are loads of better ways of doing cardio. Plus, running was OK when I was 180lbs. It was not bad when I was 200lbs. It was bad when I was 220lbs. It didn't stop being bad when I was 200lbs after a cut. It's horrible now, when I'm 242lbs. Meanwhile, swimming is great at any amount of muscle mass. Hill sprints are also great at all weight classes. Bicycles riding is gay as fuck, but also good for everyone who doesn't like having working balls.

FUCK no. Endurance training has been proven to be horrible for your endocrine system, especially decreasing testosterone and increasing cortisol heavily. Everyone I know who ran marathons and such as a teenager goes to the emergency room at least once a year now, and it's because they did heavy endurance training. To any young impressionable minds reading this, stay the fuck away from endurance training. The endocrine system is vital to every bodily function, to your brain, your digestion and your immune system. Don't fall for the running meme perpetuated by women's tabloid magazines and "fitness" sites. Do some actual research on this and you will see what I mean.
Jose Walker
i just want to get my 5K under 25min already
Logan Butler
Good time, mate, especially on your first. Have you trained much?
Mason Butler
Tap dancing.
William Campbell
Low quality bait
Dominic Cooper
The thing is fuck all people have access to this
Aiden Gomez
All I wanted is to get a sub 5 minute mile. 5:15 was the best I've ever done. One day I'll get back into running just for that goal.
