Thread 76461443

Can you get good at running with just 2 runs a week? I asked reddit and they said it's absolutely impossible, you need to be running at least 3x a week if you want decent times for your 5k, 10k and HM.

>some guy gets to taste and sniff her ass crack every day
literally what is the point of a life that isn't his

>>76461443 (OP)
define 'decent' times

I've only been running for a few months now, but I've found two runs a week to give my body the time it needs to recover, not sure how you can do 3 without one of them being low intensity

For reference I started at 35min 5k and I'm now at sub 24 minute 5k starting as a sedentary 31m, progress is slower than at the start but I am still getting faster with two runs a week

>>76461443 (OP)
3 times/week is the right amount for starters.
I will not say it's impossible like Reddit with 2 runs, but it's gonna be hard to achieve a decent timing.
Also, keeping 3 times per week goes well with lifting weights. More can screw your progress.

>>76461498
I feel like lifting and running absolutely fucks my legs even with like a 4 hr rest time

I don't know what good is, but you can get better at running with just 2 runs a week if you don't run at all.

>Don't run for 10 years
>Start running twice a week
>Got 5K under 30 minutes.
Felt good. Now I want to do 10K in 60 minutes.
Then I'll work to try to get 50 minutes, maybe.

Actually met her at an art convention here in France. I didnt know the artist I was talking to was this absolute braphog, even for a sniffhound like myself.
Super nice and cute. She draws nicely.

No I'm not?

22 min 5k
50 min 10k

Something like this. *Decent times for a gymbro

I can currently only run for like 20 minutes without dying. How do I get to sub 30 min 5k?

>>76461549
When you run out of steam walk for 1 minute then start running again.

research shows that more than 24 hours between aerobic training can lead to atrophy (minor when beginning)
meaning that if it is your main exercise interest, running needs to be an every day thing
if you are starting out, you'll gain more aerobic ability than you'll lose over the 2 day rest period
so basically, 3x a week until you stop improving is good. when you plateau, adding another day will likely do more than adding distance.
as soon as you're on a daily run. that's when you need to actually train certain things (v02 max, pacing, distance, etc)

im bumping this also bc the pic is sexoo

>>76461531
5k in 22 min is pathetic

>>76464309
Okay you dyel skinny weak mega bitch. Maybe lift more than your pink fluffy 1kg dumbbell next time for bench.

>>76461443 (OP)
you need to be hitting cardio semi-intensely to facilitate
a quick 1 mile or stage 2 5k on an elliptical goes a long way for keeping running gains
2x a week isn't even that bad desu

>>76461523
This guys is a liar it’s really me!

I'd be happy just hitting 5K at all

>>76461443 (OP)
>absolutely impossible

Ya pretty much. Brain rot thinking reddit is wrong just because "LEL REDDIT! GO BACK" meme. You can definitely improve your cardio in 2 weeks, and depending on you (your starting cardio level, age, genetics, ect) you could get "decent" times(decent being completely relative).

Imagine asking if you could get good at benching 2 weeks never having benched before...

>>76461443 (OP)
Man, I love that girl. Maybe we Germans should do another speedrun through Belgium and get us some /fit/ gfs.

>>76461443 (OP)
thats the same thing chatcpt says btw. 4 times is best.

you have brain rot please kill yourself weak men like you drink redditor cums all day. you are made of reddit cum.
real men fucks 5 year old girl’s pussy instead of succumbing to feminism or any minorities. I will punch your rotting reddit brain from the fucking inside and make it explode.

I often run 2 times a week. Some weeks I only run sat and sun, other weeks I run once on the weekend and once during the week. I'm usually doing 5 to 12 miles, occasionally longer but not often. It works well for me, running more often might be better but I do what I can, planning on a marathon this fall. My wife runs almost every day and did track&field in hs, she's definitely faster than me but not by a lot. Whatever frequency you end up on, consistency is your friend.

>>76461443 (OP)
If you’re consistent you’ll improve no matter what. I run three times a week but I’d like to go more, my legs disagree however.

>>76466258
>My wife runs almost every day and did track&field
Where did you meet her?
>tfw no rooner gf/wife :(

>>76464309
no it's not. the average male 'runner' completes a 5km in like 21 minutes.
so given he lifts weights instead of training to run, 22 min 5km is pretty respectable.

keep it up pekoking

>>76461443 (OP)
The most efficient results I got running was doing 2-3 times a week, one week out of the month. Realistically I almost never got around to the third time, so 2x a week for 1 week per month. Think monthly results, not weekly. Too many of you overtrain. I did this because I was too busy 3 weeks out of the month, but it worked wonders. I don't fully understand why, it just did. I don't lose any progress those 3 weeks off running, when I'm in the gym doing low volume. It didn't help to take 1 week off weights, but I think that's because lowvol is easy to keep up without deload weeks. Taking a week off really, really helped with high volume lifting, but overall highvol fucking sucks and stunts your gains.

>>76461443 (OP)
How do I get hamstring gains like this?

Just run OP

I'd run my willy into her fanny with no dilly dally if you know what I mean

There is a tranny named Emmawithoutrules that looks just like this chick. I know what I'm searching up later tonight

>>76466574
That's Aline Dessine you retarded faggot

>>76467263
And I'm saying there is a tranny named Emmawithoutrules that looks just like her

>>76461501
I’m with this guy
If I run the day before my legs feel like shit the next day

>>76464303
How about you link the fucking research

>>76461443 (OP)
Everytime I run, I end up with sore AF calves, as if I tore the muscle and it takes a week or more to recover.

Runners always look unhealthy in some strange sickly way like roidtrannies. There’s “normal” thin and there’s “runner” thin. These homos are always balding with some wierd teeth and gangly arms.

College, we lived in the same dorm. I wasn't athletic at all when we started dating, although I did bike a lot for transportation. She got me into running and I took her hiking and camping for the first time, now we have a little farmhouse, chickens, and an awesome kid.

>>76467545
Man, this guy loves talking about dicks and buttholes

>>76467526
There's a skrawny guy i bump into at walmart that runs but i swear he looks like he's addicted to crack.

We started talking because he thought i was wearing a yeti trail runner shirt, and we now exchange nods. Accidentally bumped into him for the first ti.e a month later wearing that shirt and he looked at me funny and niw i can never wear that shirt if i ever might go to walmart.

I mean reddit thinks its impossible to open bottles of onions without a machine

>>76464303
Nah, 2 runs a week and if your goal is a better 2 mile for example youll cut off 20 to 30 seconds each week up till like 18 or 17 minutes then itll start slowing down, and thats just my personal experience with it also being triple digits outside when i run

>>76467526
Well one of the biggest factors in running is weight, dropping just 10 lbs of bodyweight makes running far easier, the weight effect on energy expenditure is a exponential scale

my 5k time is around 45 mins
i just jog as a warmup but will do 5ks with the wife every now and then. are you fags actually training to run a lot?

>>76467526
There was this cute 10/10 girl at the office where I used to work. Just a normal girl next door and some of her colleagues convinced her to start running. After half a year she looked ten years older and sick af. She was running 10k+ 5 times a week. Pretty sad.

>>76469048
Are you like 85 years old or a 400 lb planet?

>>76467439
are you running on your toes?

I run once per week. I'm also old (40) and bad build for running (6'3 and 200lbs)

5k @ 22mim
10k @ 48min

These are not good times. But better than many people who insist you need zOnE tWo MiLeS on Reddit.

my parents got me into running when i was growing up, i was always rail thin with regular shin splints, knee and back pain. all of that vanished when i started lifting at 19 and filled out my frame. anyone hardcore into running and not getting paid for it must enjoy hurting themselves
