Keeping on doing the run/jog thing. Up to 13 km in total after my first week. Not groundbreaking I know, but I'm trying to take it slow.
- Slow and steady. Push too much and you might get injured and have to rest.palimpsest
- 13km after a week is pretty substantial mate. Keep up the solid work. Consistency is keyIanbolton
- That’s awesome, I do about 10-15k a week, been doing it for a few years pretty slow and I’ve never been able to progress past 8k at a time_niko
- My lungs are great but my legs are jello, not sure how to increase my distance_niko
- Keep it strong!!OBBTKN
- @niko lifting does help. Squats, lunges, deadlifts. Mix it up between heavy and low reps (3 sets @3-5) and low weight/high reps until failure for endurance.Continuity
- For both load/rep schemes, progressive overload is the key, whether it's increasing the weight each workout, or trying to grind out one or two more reps/workoutContinuity
- But it should go without saying to not go out running on lifting days ... ;)Continuity
- Here's an excellent leg workout (I've used it before):
https://www.youtube.…Continuity - i second the slow and steady advice. don’t ruin yourself early on like i did. took me 6 months to recover.scruffics
- on the plus side, it made me pick up swimming, which is great and goes really well with running now.scruffics
- read somewhere that you shouldn’t increase your load (distance) more than 10-15% at a time, which seems to work for mescruffics
- Sprint and walk and sprint. Etc. Much better than running at a medium pace.shapesalad
- Thanks continuity, I’ll give that a shot, I did notice in the past when I was working out it did help my running, thanks for the vid!_niko
- thanks for all the advice. I'll take it a bit more slow :)Nutter
- My pleasure, sir!Continuity
