      @@Idiotsincarshere I agree that running usually does inevitably beget some injury, but in my experience you recover and that particular injury usually never returns. You should read about the "endurance running hypothesis" which theorizes that the evolution of certain human characteristics can be explained as adaptations to long distance running. It is still a working theory, but it sounds convincing to me.

    This is not surprising when he mentions that he ran cross country in high school. They put in serious mileage (any kind of long distance track team in high school) so from an early age he built up his Aerobic base. When he joined the Army he basically did what's considered speed workouts with the repeats. THAT is why he's able to still do 6 min/miles at 225. Also he's not an ordinary 225, that's 225 muscles, not fat. The guy's fit.
    Kudos though.

  • @GP-rj9vm
    @GP-rj9vm 5 лет назад +166

    With respect to leg strengthening for running: After running on paved surfaces as training for road races for about 6 months, I started running off road on trails, grass, in forests etc... to train for some trail runs. The uneven terrain running not only taxed my core more as maintaining balance became more of an issue but in particular further strengthened my ankles and calves as the increased need for stabilization enhanced muscle recruitment in those areas. So when not working on VO2, mixing in some off road running might help with the leg strengthening. Also running through nature is a nice change of environment.

    • @sammyjfleisch4675
      @sammyjfleisch4675 5 лет назад +2

      Also, if you're running high mileage it takes a lot of pounding off your legs! Running on pavement isn't the best for your legs and if you start putting in multiple 50+ mile weeks you could find yourself with a stress fracture! Trails and grass are great ways to still get miles in without the taxing on your legs!

I was doing 18:20 5k's when I was 27 in the military at 200lbs. 10 years later I had gotten back down to a 21:35 5k at 180lb but running on city streets and playing tennis and basketball several times per week my first cartilage tear a few months ago. Waited until knee was back to 90% and started light running on city streets. Stopped immediately. Running on dirt road and gravel mountains tracks seems to be totally fine so long as don't go crazy on distance or running downhill and back to 24:something 5k after a couple months zero running and very little cardio activity.

      The method he describes is called polarized training. Also described as 80/20 training where 80% of your milage is done at low intensity (zone 1 or 2) and the rest is high intensity intervals (zone 4 or above). Most people's problem is that they think it has to be hard all the time so they don't get the true endurance benefits of low and slow that most of those starting out needs.

    Good way to look at running is like a car, Vo2max is the size of the engine, AT training are the gears (more gears the better) and AeT training is more like the chassis, strong chassis can hold a big engine, so dividing training up into 80/20 is the best formula.

Didn't run cross country in H.S. so other then running as a kid had never done any real distance running before I got to Parris Island...they never told us how far they ran you (as I said the PFT involved a 3 mile run) but I know we ran some pretty long distances in Phase 3 of boot. When I got home I went on a measured 8 mile run in the dead of summer in central Fl., and made it with no problem. Anyway that's a long reply to your comment hopefully there is something you can use.

When I was younger I weighed up to 185 but that was when I was lifting and working out a lot and put on muscle pretty easy...these days if I eat enough to try that I end up with a spare tire...haha, so I limit my calories and workout less. But I still have an old Marine beach workout routine I do that is pretty brutal and still lift weights a couple times a week and slip some beach sprint workouts now and then...I've learned to moderate.

In your experience, what shoe should I be looking at?

    • @David-hw8hi
      @David-hw8hi 5 лет назад +1

      Shoes really dont matter that much as you think they do. They're about 5% impactful. Do 2 long cardio sessions a week Mon, Fri(ex. jog 3 miles steady slow pace), 2 wind/hill/incline sprints a week, Tues thurs (sessions are 30 min MAX, ex. 5-8 hills runs up, walk down or treadmill 6.5mph @10 incline 1 min on 1 min off for 10 minutes (walk 10 min and see if you can do on more set after that) and 2 strength only days - wed, Saturday (bench day ex. Bench press, flies, incline db or dips, and back day, pullups, deadlift and biceps all in the 6-8 rep range for 3 sets each.
      I personally right now enjoy weightlifting 5 times a week, but when I need to shape up for a prep program or fitness test, my body does well on just 2 times max weight training a week and jogging 3 times a week with the incline sprints thrown in as well. If you have extra cash to help you too, get creatine and fish oil. Those are a must and will shave off your perceived effort by almost a quarter of it all and boost your endurance for only like $15 a month. Well worth the investment over a training shoe.

    • @wayne4386
      @wayne4386 5 лет назад +1

      Shin splints usually come from not stretching your calf muscles enough, the tight calf tends to pull the toes just a little extra every time you step off in your follow through, and that in-turn pulls hard on the shin muscle slowly ripping the connective tissue on little muscle away from the bone!

    • @heatbs15
      @heatbs15 5 лет назад

      Also training volume and frequency plays a role. Take for example you never workout then decide to do as many pull ups as you can do in 5 minutes (maybe you do 50)....you will be sore as heck the next day. If instead you did 10 rep sets 5x throughout the entire day you will not be as sore the next day enabling you to hit the next workout again.
      I would suggest building up your capability with patience. And increase frequency, stay away from a lot of volume in a short period although you will need to push yourself and some soreness is inevitable. After about 2-3 weeks you can continue to up the intensity/length of runs/volume of training, sooner or later you training volume will catch up to what your capable of but at the end of the day as long as you avoid those horrible training hindering shin splints you will make more progress this way.
      I am not a avid runner but have years of experience in the gym and this seems the most logical to me based on how our bodies adapt to training volumes.

What else should big guys runners should keep in mind? We also have to train carefully as we are prone to shin splints and planter due to the poundage. Talk to me!
