cross Posted April 5, 2004 Posted April 5, 2004 How far do you all run (preferably in km not miles) and how long does it take you?? thanks..
Red J Posted April 5, 2004 Posted April 5, 2004 I try to run three times a week. Twice during the week I run 3-5 miles and on the weekend I do 5-7 miles. Translation http://www.runnersweb.com/running/km_miles.html That's about 4.8 - 8km, and 8-11.3km. I can do 8km in about 45 minutes (9 minute miles/5:35 min km). You use minutes right? J/K I like the km version. It just sounds so much faster and farther. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
angelica d Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 I hardly ever go running, it really hurts my knees and ankles. If I do, its 2 - 3 km at the gym, but usually I prefer uphill fast walking, its alot kinder on your joints!

iolair Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Depends how much time I have etc., I usually go about 4 miles at 8 minutes/mile, I try to do enough longer runs that I can run 10km (6.3 miles) completely comfortably... ... though I actually ran 26.2 miles in the London Marathon 5 years ago. Needless to say I did a lot more running in the build up to that! Currently: Kickboxing and variants.Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.
Ironberg Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 I usually spend my time training, instead of running. Seriously, if I want to build up my stamina for something, I personally simple work on the actual activity (unless general calisthenics are concerned). I like hitting the heavy bag (sometimes until my knuckles are splitting and my feet get blisters), sparring, performing kata to exhaustion, etc. If I had more time, I would run more. One of the last times I ran, I ran a good, strenuous eight miles - about several months since the last time I ever ran. I will admit - I do bicycle alot because I don't have a car. Sometimes about 10 miles a day (let's see: 3 to school, 3 back, 2 to gym, 2 back).

Sorynn Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 I take an easy jog on Saturday mornings and cover about 2 miles (3.33 km) in 20 minutes. It is not very far or fast, but I use it to help my body recover from the prior weeks training.
TheDevilAside Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 In a perfect world, I would run 5km three times a week in 20-30 minutes. But I hate running, so I haven't been in that training routine for months. "If you're going through hell, keep going." - Sir Winston Churchill
Red J Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 When I first started I didn't care for it. I convinced myself it would make me a better martial artist. I really thought it would help me on tests to get through the tough physical/mental challenges. So I started. My attitude was just like TDA has on his signature: "If you're going through hell, keep going." - Sir Winston Churchill Well the benefits have been worth it. When I start to run I try to get into a state of mind like mushin. I can definitely say that I can achieve this every time for some period of the run. It has really paid off cardio wise as well as I rarely "suck wind" in class. It just took a little perseverance. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
Xerxes Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Haha. This thread has inspired me to go running right now. It's a nice day out why not.
