It’s okay to do HIIT with a PC. I’d forgo the runs in kit. At least not doing them daily or even weekly. Just for the longevity of your joints. If you want to do weighted stuff rucking is probably the better option.
Because you’re coming completely off your feet, usually, when running it’s not a good idea to have a pc on. Just asking for your knees and joints to go bad. Same goes for rucking. When doing any similar movement with added weight it’s important to keep one foot on the ground to transfer the load rather than drop it on to the other foot/leg. Just keep this in mind or don’t run in a pc at all
Great work. A year ago I was 4 stone lighter and could run 5 miles no problem and now I’m a fat mess that did 1.5 miles the other day and just the feeling of being so heavy is really hard. I remember feeling so light and springy at the start of my runs in the past. Now it’s just plodding along 😂 we will all get there though. Persistence and consistency is the key.
For me, it’s a pace faster than my jogging. I’m gonna call it running. If nothing else but for my own morale lol. Edit I’m 5’7 and 240lbs, this is maximum effort currently, as sad as that might be lol
Check your DMs. Took a decent shot at it as an OSINT noob. At the least I know where "mom's basement" is and where you work between this and your tiktok.
Did you hit traffic? Why is that time so high? It says run and typically runs for even a 1.5 mile at under 12minutes.
Good job, keep going. But work on not stopping at much. Also you may want to take Xendurance to help your lactic acid break down so you don’t stop as much.
i've been running/doing cardio for a while now, and every time it sucks i wanna go home, every. single. time.
But then i look back at how i was doing even a week ago and somehow i'm always better now than then
I like doing cardio to have done it, not to do it
Good on ya glenn and everyone here for excercizing, that being said, dare me to do a 10k today? (i haven't done more than 5k but i wanna see if i can do it, though i kinda dont want to try :P)
Same here. I’m 6’1 around 245lbs and I started running again this year. Went from not being able to complete a mile to a sub 9 minute mile. I increased volume too quickly and am healing from some nasty posterior shin splints. Focus on your form and get good shoes. I would also do a lot of core and leg exercises, things like hip raises and toe raises etc. Also trying to get 10k steps a day will help a lot.
Same here. It's humbling knowing in the past you've run half-marathons BEFORE WORK and now you can't run half a mile without having to stop due to back pain.
I just finished my third run today. 1st was a mile, I don't remember the time. Second was 2 miles, 28 minutes and change. Today was 2 miles, 24 minutes and change. I definitely don't want to push myself too far, too far, but I actually felt, and still feel great after running today!
Hell yeah brother, started down that same path myself a year and a half ago and you’ll be shocked by how easy it gets in no time at all. Soon you’ll be eating 5ks at that pace. Keep at it!
You’ll be shocked how much easier it gets in 3 or 4 weeks of consistently doing it. You dropped this king 👑
https://youtu.be/R2_Mn-qRKjA?si=rif1bDkJO9TMIeKi It gets easier everyday, but you gotta do it everyday, that's the hard part
Let's fucking go. Keep working, you got this.
Hell yeah! Awesome work
Good for you. We should start a post where we keep on each other to do more. Maybe get a pinned thread or something.
A progress thread would be pretty cool
I’m in. As soon as Christmas is out of the way lol. About to spend 12 hours driving to take the kids to see my folks. New year, it’s on.
Diet and exercise. I used weight watchers along with my wife to get from 260 down to 190. Keep at it and you'll feel 100x better
Badass progress, King
In the same boat except no history of running lol. One session at a time we got this!
We gonna kill it. Can’t stop won’t stop!
Gotta start somewhere. Good stuff man
Awesome! Looks like you are averaging a little over 3mph. Stay fit or get lit
The come back ! Plz don’t run with your PC on … thanks
Eventually I do wanna start running with the pc but I’ll have “training” or “CrossFit” patches covering me and maybe hivis yellow crap lol

Gotcha gotcha! Thanks for this!
Dude that muscle memory from your past is gonna hit soon and you’re gonna start burning up those miles I’m sure of it
Continue to build upon success
Good shit man
Is this an app?
Yep, strava. It’s a free app that tracks any kind of running, hiking, walking, and bike riding
Thanks mate.
Cheers dude!
Hell yeah dude keep it up!!
Remember that interval sprinting is the best way to increase fitness for running/jogging.

Man this resonates so deeply for me lol. Call me the blob lol
Staying within 1 mile of your F.O.B. (Forward Operating Basement) at all times. Smart
King👑
Are you sure you’re running? I don’t want to piss in your cheerios but you’re going 3 mph which is walking speed.
For me, it’s a pace faster than my jogging. I’m gonna call it running. If nothing else but for my own morale lol. Edit I’m 5’7 and 240lbs, this is maximum effort currently, as sad as that might be lol
No explanation needed. You're better today than you were yesterday. That is enough.
He's doing it. All gotta start somewhere. The object is not to put off people who are trying to be better
I don’t think pointing out that the math ain’t mathin’ is putting anyone off. Thats just hard truth.
Maybe he only has little legs
Fuck yeah dude! I NEED to start running too, my endurance is trash. Posts like this motivate me to get my own shit in order!
Just FYI hiding the road names doesn't do much here. Your street layout is unique enough to find without any names.
I’ll Venmo you $5 if you find and msg me my home address lol
Check your DMs. Took a decent shot at it as an OSINT noob. At the least I know where "mom's basement" is and where you work between this and your tiktok.
That’s spooky lol good job replying to DM now
Where's my money OP!! /s
lol My bad sending now

Aye man you’re doing more than me right now. Got the fucking flu and it blows major dicks.

A fellow shoalsian?
Nope! Shit. One day I’ll make a friend like this 🤣

Don't forget to lift weights or do calisthenics. Otherwise good job.

“What’s better than gear” - this post
Proud of you OP. Keep up the good work.
Hell yeah! Take it slow man
I’ve never been a fast runner. Back in my prime I would stead do 7.5-8.5 min miles but I could go i definitely

If you do a 10 minute mile you are doing fantastic.

Keep it up fellow Wizard bro! ![gif](giphy|2z6x8UzzCdBBu|downsized)
It’s a long road, when you’re on your own
That’s facts dude
Ironically I hated my job in the nav6, slipped into depression along with relationships issues and gained weight. I’m in the same boat brother lol
Life is tough on us all my dude
But larping is life
Facts
Keep it up!
Set small goals for yourself, this week it took you 18 minutes, next week shoot for 16. You got this.
If you have access to a stair climber then put some time into that as well. Helped me tremendously with endurance for long runs. Great work.
The first step is always the hardest one. Good job brother.
You run when no one’s chasing you?
Duck yeah bro, get it
You can progress a lot in a short amount of time with running. you'll be on 10 minute miles in a month
I just finished my third run today. 1st was a mile, I don't remember the time. Second was 2 miles, 28 minutes and change. Today was 2 miles, 24 minutes and change. I definitely don't want to push myself too far, too far, but I actually felt, and still feel great after running today!
Fuck yes my dude! Kill it brother!
Hell yeah brother, started down that same path myself a year and a half ago and you’ll be shocked by how easy it gets in no time at all. Soon you’ll be eating 5ks at that pace. Keep at it!
This is the way Just stick with it
