Good point. I shouldn't have even challenged it. I wasn't taking on any advice given more so the general idea of seeking out running advice here. I was new to hunting 5 years ago and came here to learn more about hunting - I've learned a great deal from many! That said, my simple suggestion is that if you want to be serious about running then you could find a more targeted group of individuals some place else.
I don't know.man. you do get the tradeoff of people in those forums being more arrogant and thinking they know what they're talking about when they don't ; ) though I'm sure its no different here.
I haven't ran (no pun intended) into a lot of people on this forum that are arrogant in trying to help me manage my land, hunt, be a better bow hunter - whatever it is, I personally don't particupate in a running forum so I can't suggest otherwise.
Majority of the people on this forum are nice. Few not so much. Either that or people just don't state their real opinions as openly.
I have never been good at long distance running... I'm sure if I trained that would change, but I always seemed to tire exponentially after 1 mile, sometimes not even a mile. I haven't ran in a few years, but really need to start again. Think I might start doing sprints again.
Hooker hunts? Mind blown... lol jk. I hated running alot and I played center midfielder in soccer for years. I envy the people that run daily and enjoy it. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
I'm going to jump in here with my usual inane comments. I grew up with my parental units being runners (joggers) as well as their friends. Most all of these folks have some major issues with knees/hips now. They blame the running. I was never much of a runner, I've been a D-cup since I was about 12 and that makes running a bit of a challenge. There was a time back in HS where we had to run 2.5 miles to warm-up and I could do that in under 17 mins. and be barely winded... but nowadays.. Just the thought of running hurts. You 'kids' have fun with your running but be smart about it and take the precautions seriously. My dad who ran all the time took so much ibuprofen for his joint pain that he permanently damaged his kidneys.
Yup. Times have also changed in terms of running shoes and the ground you should run on. Though now they're saying the shoes damage you and barefoot is the way to go...
I ran twenty miles to school barefoot, uphill both ways, through blizzards in summer and winter, back in the good old days. No problems yet.
Blizzards in summer eh. Whoo I don't want to live where you do. Were you being serious though? I can't imagine your toes not freezing off.
After a few minutes they just go numb and you can't feel anything.... In all seriousness, I did not do that stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I did the barefoot shoes. Definitely works your calves and I feel like I'm jumping more. However at .75 miles calves give out. Then I'm walking like a rod is up my *** for 3 days because my calves are immobile. There are those who say they run 3 or 5 miles first time, but I guaranty they are not running and more walk slow jog. It's always the slower people that claim this in my history. I do need to find those shoes and start integrating them a bit into my workout.
I've ran 18 miles in VFFs. I couldn't walk for 2 days because my calves were so tight. My limit for them always seemed to be around 10 miles. The farthest I've ran totally barefoot was 6 along a sandy river. I now run in Newtons or NB Minimus.
