Road work

Dirty · 08-11-2012, 03:56 AM

So... running is supposed to be simple... and for the most part it is. Contemplating doing a marathon within the next year, and probably a half this fall depending on whether or not I can get work off to actually run it.

Has anyone in here done a marathon? Have any tips other than taping your nipples?

Few questions.
1. Where in the hell do I find shoes that don't get pounded into nothing in 2 months?
2. What sort of a regiment did you use in order to know that you could reach 26.2 miles without over stressing your body. I'm around 235 right now... I imagine that'll drop a little below 200 when I'm close to peak shape but damage to excessive training is a major concern.
3. What was your running schedule like? Right now I am doing either 3 or 5 miles every other day (time dependent), and biking 10-12 miles on off days. I ran ten miles today because oddly enough I had enough time.

Time is a big issue, so I need to get the most out of whatever I'm doing. I did the ten miles at just under an 8 minute pace... and was fairly surprised I did it that fast. My nutrition is pretty good, but I will be doing a lot of my training under a calorie deficit. Also if anyone knows of any miracle foods or supplements that can help aid in muscle recovery that'd be great.

I'm not a runner, but my father used to do it pretty regularly before he had some ankle problems and got older. He swore by saucony shoes when he did. http://www.saucony.com

Dirty · 08-12-2012, 09:03 AM

I picked up a pair, when I googled "Running shoes for fat guys." They came up... figured between your old man, and google it's good enough for me to at least give em a try.

H · 08-13-2012, 07:36 PM

yeah, i dont know if a guy that developed ankle problems is the best source on which shoe to get.

Crax · 08-14-2012, 11:53 PM

He's late 50's now and his injury wasn't from running. It was basketball that broke it

Dirty · 08-17-2012, 01:16 AM

The saucony's aren't too bad, little bit heavy. Took em out for 5 miles on gravel and it was like having pillows strapped to your feet though, a thumbs up... hopefully they last until the half I'm doing on the 29th.

Animal Squabbles · 08-17-2012, 08:48 PM

I've gone through Nike Shox, Reebok Zigtech and now i just bought a pair of Nike Air Max 2 days ago.

Been considering picking up a pair of these

For running, or because you desperately want to look like a douchebag?

I'll give you the first one, but I've already told friends of mine that if I catch them wearing that shit walking around Wegman's one more time, I'm stomping their fucking toes into powder.

Gabriel · 09-07-2012, 09:31 PM

I thought they'd look good with my bluetooth earpiece and popped collar shirts.

For running, I've always felt more comfortable running barefoot (toe-heel rather than heel-toe) so figured they were worth giving a try.

Dirty · 09-29-2012, 11:02 PM

Finished my first half today, If I had to describe the feeling I had in one word as I crossed the finish line it would be... "Owe"

Also, already wore those Saucony's out, apparently unless I lose another 30 lbs I can just expect to only get 200 miles out of a pair of shoes.

Anyhow, Trying out some Mizuno's next... designed differently than the Saucony's, so hopefully they last a bit longer.

H · 10-01-2012, 12:04 AM

trust me im fatter than you. but im still working on it.

Dirty · 10-01-2012, 01:41 AM

Be prepared to buy a lot of shoes if you want to shed those pounds running...

H · 10-01-2012, 04:10 AM

i mix it up. ive been at it since january.

Don · 11-27-2012, 03:32 PM

Why not just buy Viagara?

H · 11-27-2012, 09:40 PM

why not just keep a boner without medical assistance ^_^

Don · 11-28-2012, 09:09 AM

Of course, it was only if was needed. FaseBeeBat obviously does. So does his whole lemon party group.

H · 11-28-2012, 05:40 PM

that they do. i removed their

Dirty · 12-14-2012, 11:00 PM

Update, mizuno wave inspire 8's ftw.. favorite so far. Probably gonna be "My shoe."

SnjoNegri · 12-18-2012, 01:16 AM

How long you guys running for? When I was training for a fight a few months ago I was running two kilometers after the gym in well under 6 minutes.

Cant ever see running for more then 30 minutes tho. Best put it into the next gear and go harder if youre a 2 hour runner. Just my opinion though.

SnjoNegri · 12-18-2012, 01:18 AM

I like running in winter time though. Running in -40 F is like having an intercooler for your lungs. Giant gasps of liquid thick air. So good for you.

Winnipeg problems.

Dirty · 12-18-2012, 10:48 PM

Running outside is the same here too last saturday I did a 4.5 miler in about 10 degress f it was awesome. I'm not really running to gear up for fighting, I'm readying for a marathon.
