Running

[white rapper]

Does anyone here like to run? I just started running at my gym because it's too cold to skate and it is actually pretty fun and shit. So far i ran two days in a row on the treadmill, 1st day i did 2 miles in 15:00, and the 2nd i did 2 miles in 14:30. i feel like its gonna help me with my skating because i already feel more lightfooted, and it strengthens your knees and ankles.

Pole dancing is where it's at

Love running--my best friend is a sales rep for Brooks and recommended me the GTS 15s recently, it's awesome to finally have a running shoe that doesn't smoosh my wider feet and give me bone spurs.

Brother-in-law originally got me into running and convinced me to drop some $ for winter running gear this year (always used to just run spring and summer), totally worth it! There's an old canal towpath here in Bethlehem that's a blast to just get on and see how far you can go. 

If you're making the transition from treadmill to outdoor running you might want to find a "core" running store and have them take a look at your running gait; I had no idea what I was doing for the first few months and got a nice recurring case of hip bursitis.

Have fun!   

i just run in my vans oldskools, but i have been eyeing those janoski max's to run in since i already have a giant blister on my toe from the vans.

Running fucked up my legs. I ran 5ks for a couple seasons, and it jacked my hips and shins up. Good excersise though, just in moderation. Now biking, that's my shit.

Running in college obliterated my knees and hips. Now I row and bike, it's pretty fun, and good shit.

biking is indeed, the shit. but i dont understand how running fucks up your legs, if anything, it strengthens the shit out of them.

What speed are you running to do a 2 miles in 15 minutes?  Man, I got a fucked up pace. I do like 9 min miles but am running like a 6.6 on a treadmill I think. I get so damn winded and even need to do a walk before I do the other mile. I just hope from consistency that it gets better.

i switch it up between 7.0 - 8.8 depending on how much energy i have at the moment. Last night, i stayed at 8.8 for about 5 mins then couldn't handle it and turned it down a notch. i don't go below 7.0 though.

i did research on 5k runs and its only 3.1 miles. I am gonna try and see if i can get it under 25 mins.

Yeah, running fucks up my legs. Or rather, running long distances (4+ miles). I never feel like I got a good workout after running though... sprinting on the other hand... that's a gnarly workout.

[StabMasterArson]

I'm at a point in my life where I never have to run again.

Are you serious? You are going to fuck your feet up, especially when you start running outside. Get some proper running shoes, risking injury is not worth it.

i don't understand how that is bad. people skate in vans and other thin shoes which involves way more impact than running. i am still gonna get running shoes only because they are designed for running tho.

8.8 speed would destroy my legs. I can't even sprint and then slow down. I have to just pace at a nice speed and then just totally walk. My legs even tightened up a bit after that so I had to start running again. Props for you though. I don't see anyone running at that speed in my gym.

Running is the shit.  I hate the indoor treadmill run though.  I feel like a gerbil and get bored.  I was running a lot last summer with a friend who was really good at pushing me, and we'd run at least six miles every other day.  Having someone there to talk to and feed off of/distract you from the monotony of running is key for me.  When I go out alone I don't ever go longer than two miles. 

Cycling is where it's at though.  Low impact, and I can really push myself to insanity.  I used to live right on the river, which had a twenty mile trail that looped around both sides, and I would kill that in less than an hour every day...And then some asshole stole my bike. 

Running in the winter is a chore.  I'm a smoker, and the cold forces my lungs into overtime.  By the end of a run I'm hacking up green shit and feel like dying.

[j....soy.....]

Running is good cause it's a good work out in a short time period....run for half an hour can be a really good work out.....biking for half an hour.. Probably not...it's cheap too...the downside is that it can suck and beat you up.....

I equate it to jumping down stairs....if you love it....do it....if you don't.....don't.....

A proper pair of runners shouldn't cost you much and are way better than skate shoes....

also, totally agreeing with soy on the time consuming part. if i dont have enough time for either skating or cycling and still need to blow off steam i try to use the rowing machines at the gym. 10 minutes and i am dead.

I've been running on and off for a while but I managed to stick with it for the last couple months and feel great. only thing is i get hassled by the cops sometimes for running sorta late

I ran with my GF for a year or so and lost all my explosive power needed for pop. So I would advise not doing this. Years later, my pop is still at an all-time low. Who cares if you don't loose you breath after hours of skating if the amount of power you muscles produce is so sad.

I love running.  +1 on getting a good running store.  People there know what they are doing.  It's like the difference between Pac Sun and a local skate shop. 

A nice side bonus of running is that it is a great way to scout skate spots.  You can run in parking garages, behind buildings, in office parks, etc.  without looking sketchy. 

[matter of fact]

tried running before but i have bad knees. took on a beer gut since september so i'm riding this old stationary bike in the basement until i can get outside and be active again once the snow melts. no fast food and cutting back/out beer is gonna be my saving grace i think. the sedentary lifestyle blows

i would think it would make your pop better because it makes you more lightfooted since it works out your fast-twitch muscle fibers; which is what you use when you pop. Also, you wouldnt lose pop/power if you incorporate weight training to your legs, for example; barbell deadlifts, squats, calf raises

i have never ran outside like that. i only run on tracks or treadmill but i am planning on going somewhere sick to run this weekend since there is snow everywhere and i can't skate. running is a good alternative for when u cant skate in this fucking winter.

If you are going to run do sets of sprints (8-12 lengths of a soccer field, 15-30 second breaks between sets), long distance running is bad excercise.  Make sure to stretch properly.

[Sleazy]

If you lil biking, mountain biking gives a pretty good workout even on shorter distance because of all the hill climbing involved. Pretty fun too. I'm actually doing more biking than skating at the moment.

[Stoop Kid 2.0]

Been running for a few years now. Started after I quit smoking. Its great for the heart, lungs, and keeps the beer belly from happening. I feel like it does help with skating in a way. I recommend taking Tri-flex for anyone with knee or leg problems. It works wonders. Also if your gym has a pool start doing some 500s. Swimming is a hell of a workout.

[layzieyez]

I used to run about 7 miles at a time.  Road running in a hilly area.  Destroyed my knees by tearing my meniscus.  I'll do sprints now, but I try to run on grass mostly.  Treadmill is okay, too.  I prefer no impact stationary biking and elliptical.  I also do squats, both with and without weight.
