white owl Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I am just curious to see how many Martial Artist incorporate jogging into there training. And how far do you jog?Ok, I will start. I just started running again a little over a month ago after 15 year lay off. I am now running 3 miles 4-5 days a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperki Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Yep, I run...Although I don't usually like it, it's a great, quick, way to get in some cardio exercise. I ran a half marathon two weeks ago, but usually I'll run 3-5 miles two weekdays and 6-10 on one weekend day. You know, I guess I do kinda like running, just not as much as I like drinking coffee and eating bagels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallgeese Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Usually 2-3 times per week, 2-3 miles each. A bit more right now because we have a grappling tourny coiming up. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nacal Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 what kind of surface does everyone usaully run on?And does it make any difference to the effort put in and the time of the run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallgeese Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Usually roadway. Sometimes, based on the weather, it'll be the treadmill. I then to go further and work harder outside, but that's just me. Where the treadmill really comes in handy is forcing hill work and interval training.Some people can be highly sensivtive to the enviornment they are running on. It is important to remember to vary it up a bit so no single part of the chain gets over stressed. So, don't run corners on the track the same way each time, switch sides of the street so the crest dosn't impact the same leg on the high side each stride, things like that.Mainly, however, it's only people doing signifigant milage per week that are really affected by such things. Still something to keep in mind. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdiedwards Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I run 3 times a week - about 2 miles. I also do it carrying a 5kg dumbell in each hand. I don't know if it's a particularly good idea? I just had them lying around so decided to incorporate them.It certainly makes your cardio work hard. It also makes running VERY pleasant when you decide to leave them at home for a change!

sperki Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Dave, 10-12 miles a day multiple days per week? That's a high mileage week!My favorite runs are on trails in the foothills that are so close to Salt Lake City. But it often seems weird to drive somewhere to run. Then I just pound pavement. I find treadmills to be miserable. My wife made me try one again recently. I'll run outside in the rain and snow and dark just to avoid the dang things! Tallgeese is right on about varying your workouts, directions on a track, etc. to help avoid overuse injuries. I've found that my workouts, except swimming, are all better in the afternoon or early evening. I heard a theory about that relating to high school sports and training my body to work hard during that time slot. But even after spending some time in the Marines and running at 5:00 in the morning I never got used to it. It just feels like my body's not awake and warmed up yet. Does anybody else experience that? Especially the LEO's who probably have crazy work schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
