Red J Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 How about a progress report 360? I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
Tibby Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 Yeah, how is the running? Did what we say work for you any?
thenakedpage Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Stop jogging and take up sprinting. Jogging only increases your ratio of slow twitch muscle fibres. It is not beneficial for martial arts. It is not conducive to throwing fast kicks. It will increase your cardiovascular endurance and kill your anaerobic (explosive) endurance. Also, cardiologists state that aerobic athletes (middle distance runners, marathon runners) have weaker heart musculature than anaerobic athletes (sprinters). Your choice, but I say speed up and go shorter distances for more benefits. Intensity favours you in the long run (no pun intended)
Synaesthesia Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 I run as a practical matter. Waiting for the bus coming in 15 minutes to take you two miles? Run and be there before the bus. On the sidewalk leading to your house? Run to the front door? Walking three blocks to the video store? Run. This requires remarkably little disclipline and can lay the groundwork for a more rigourous program. The secret of running is that once you are at a certain level, it becomes subjectively easier to sustain long rungs.
three60roundhouse Posted November 28, 2003 Author Posted November 28, 2003 Well, I was basically pretty lazy - I've been training about 5 days a week and using a stationary bike the other two, so I just couldn't really find the time to run. Well, yesterday morning, Thanksgiving morning, my parents talked me into running a local 5k race - I did it in about 32 minutes, so a few seconds over 10 minutes per milke...I ran the first two without stopping and a walked about a quarter of the last mile. I don't think this is too bad - but it was FUN! I wasn't expecting that. Maybe I'll start running once or twice a week! 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!
Red J Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Congratulations on your "Turkey Trot" 5K. That's impressive for someone who didn't really train. Come on, you know you can find some time..... I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
CloudDragon Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 I bought one of those "Run with the Army" cadence tapes. It sounds weird, but it really helps with setting a pace and the words help to distract you from any discomfort you are dealing with! A Black Belt is just a white belt that don't know when to quit!

Gandhi Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 A few tips: Warm up specially in cold weather. Run laying your foot flat on the ground. Change your pace frequently(good for the martial artists) Breathe with your upper chest(if abdominal is useful let me know someone) Peace = happiness = enlightenment = meditationPaz = felicidad = iluminación =meditaciónKingdom´s Coming
