Is it even possible to go from really skinny to big and strong while running 5k 3 times a week? How do people recover properly? Do I need to use gear?
Running and Lifting?
you need to eat an absolute shitton and even then it's very difficult to do without overtraining
>an extra 900 calories a week is an absolute shitton
>what is BMR
Come on dude, doing a 20-25 minute run (30 minute jog), a few times a week isn't "very difficult to do without overtraining" and doesn't require you eat an "absolute shitton". A 5k really is not that far.
Sleep more. Eat three more donuts. Not that hard bro.
The only hard part is time. More sleep every night is a pretty big time drain, but good investment. The running actually really doesn't take much time at all.
>three more donuts
more like 10 MORE SCOOPS CMON
You can work out as hard as you can two hours, short snack like half a carton of eggs and a bannnana, some mustard, and then get two hours of cardio in ( obviously hella water and half your protein already done for the day ) no problem, you must get sleep and enjoy it and have some nice tunes and concentrate enough not to get bored or anything but... 5k 3 times a week is a joke. Skinny or fat 100 % retarded. GATA
yeah dude, that is not a lot of running. just eat slightly more.
If you want to be fast you can't also be big. Most of your muscle will just be useless weight.
5k 3 times a week isn't that much though. Easily doable
