It seems so long since I've exercised, Spent years all 'round sat by the desk, And all the while I've long decried, The urge to make me less grotesque
But in the course of days and nights, And sprawled across the floor I fear, With poor living death could draw nigh, My own ill fitness pulling her near
This fair eve I began my run, Beside a man of mountainous build, Still by the light of the setting sun, Then fast by me he quickly spilled
As I stood there, hands on knees, I thought, To Team Liquid so, where ask I ought...
"any tips?"

Relevancy here, Fatass I will be no more, I need tips as well.

Just keep on running. You'll grow stronger by the day. And gain endurance.

yo yo, now look here now you're so fat it makes my eyes go "ow"
to change you gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other but you're so lazy you'll probably say "why bother?"
in fact, as i'm killing you with my sick rhymes and attacks you're hands are digging into a another bag of snacks
i know you're so proud that all your posts are sonnets but i asked shakespeare, he says you're more suited to wear bonnets

get some nice soles and comfy shoes.
Every run try to outdo the previous run by a little bit. There are also exercises like climbing stairs that will help you with hills and stuff.
|
Don't overdo it. It's easy to get injured, especially if your the type to push yourself hard. Follow a schedule, try not to run 2 days in a row. Have a hard day followed by an easy day, and do your long runs on Saturdays.
|
a few weeks ago i began run 3 times a week was the plan though not in bad shape it felt like cruel rape just ask nony, he's your man
|
|
Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?
|
1) Don't overdo it, and 2) Don't compare yourself to other people.
If you work too hard the first couple of days, you will pull something and injure yourself. Then you will be turned off running and not be able to develop the long-term cardio you need to in order to be more fit.
2) Don't worry about how other people are running or if you're going fast or slow. You may see very fit people or, if you're really not fast, not very fit people pass you. Just go at your own pace. You're not in this for some competition, and there's no real race. Run against yourself.
P.S. Don't forget to stretch.
|
1. Run outside or on a tack (you get to wear cool shades and wave at random people) 2. Use mp3 player 3. Go a long distance, and walk parts if you have to. 4. Keep doing it 5. Do it with a partner somenone who is as fit or fitter (that way you have motiviation to keep running faster/better) 6. You will be hungrier but dont overeat to compensate if your goal is to lose weight.
GL HF, I love running!
|
When you first start off you will be noob your calfs will ache your quads will too But do not quit cuz of that do not fear for there has always been a pioneer
Before you run make sure you stretch but before that you need to warm up fast And if you see any rapists on the streets, don't forget to pull out your gat.
After your run don't immediatly sit down but however if you want cramp then go ahead god damn. You need to first cool off by running some more Try to keep your mind away from sexing whores.
I loved running so much with a passion me too out of shape so i need some bashin You now motivated me to get out my ass and go out and show the world my fat.

not tip and "tip" might indicate that you were more interested in tips about your poetry and skills therein, which can be only complimented in this case , mr.Sonnet ^^

Base training is important (long and slow distance,) but every once in a while, do some 200m-800m sprints. It will make you a more balanced runner and will help make running more interesting.
I would also suggest picking a 5k about 3 months from now and signing up for it once registration starts. It will provide some encouragement for you to keep on running instead of just quitting after a week.
If you're interested in getting in shape instead of just losing weight, go to the gym 2 or 3 times a week as well.

This sonnet business might be tough but I like it!

Don't run everyday. Set a goal for each run. Don't push yourself too much.
These are my general guidelines that have gotten me fit.
Once you get better, you'll start to notice that the first 20 minutes or so are the hardest. But after that point you get a sudden boost of energy. It makes you feel invincible.
|
listen to music you can sign to, it keeps your mind off of the running
|
I'm gonna suggest you train about 5k at a time, maybe 3 times a week until you can run a decent pace. There's nothing more useless than plodding along at 8mins/km for an hour and a half, and it wastes your time too.
On days when you don't run your 5k, do stair sets or swim or weight train or something.

drink, drink, drink water you got to drink your water go water run, GO!

get good shoes. make sure you find a good pace when you run. make sure you stretch, and dont over do it, that can lead to injuries (tendonitis)

I really do not have any extensive knowledge in this area, but I think this guy is full of BS. If you haven't done any running before and you try to run 5k at a decent pace you will just end up hurting yourself. 8mins/km for 3+ kms isn't "plodding along" for someone who isn't physically fit. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I agree with everyone who has said not to run too hard. I got good by running for 6 years, it takes time. Just run a few times a week, a couple miles at a time. walk if you have to. chances are youll hear about people who run everyday, dont do that yet. unless you are competitive, 5 days a week is the most you really need to stay in good shape, 3 days a weeks to get started is great
|
Stretch well but don't bounce Run early in the morning I like bananas
edit: haikus are the shiz

Most of your runs should be at a nice easy pace; from my experience the typical casual runner definitely goes harder than they need to on easy runs. If you going by heart rate somewhere between 60-70% of max HR is usually a pretty good target. If your going by effort you should be totally comfortable, and able to converse fairly well without having to gasp for air every sentence.
Start off with just a little running, maybe 2-3 miles on a 3 or 4 days of the work and gradually build up, adding another day or so every or every other week if you felt strong the previous week. Once you get to that point, then you can increase around 10% per week in terms of mileage, maybe more if it feels really good. As with anything, if you start to have big fatigue or nagging pains be sure to go ahead and take a break, running through fatigue and injury only makes it worse and the running far less enjoyable.
Picking a short race, such as a 5K, can be a great motivator to keep you true to your training. Above all, keep the running at a comfortable pace, so that the running is fun, or at the very least not uncomfortable. There is a time and place for faster workouts, but if you're just starting I would get used to running and just work on devloping a decent base.

Run instead of walk. I run as much as I can. I run to/from work.
In an apartment, Use stairs instead of a lift. Here's a useful blog.

Treat running like an endurance performance test for your body.
Stretch every muslce you can think of in your body. Get your body and mind ready for a mentally peaceful (you can even say running can be like a mental cleansing) and physically painful experience. Make the pain the peace.
Have a good diet so your body has the nutrients to perform well, then start off at a slow pace. I walk for like 5 minutes before I actually start jogging. I very slowly increase my speed till I feel like if I push myself I'm going to have to stop, so I step down a little but keep the pace. Once you realize you are running at a good pace and its not phasing you that much, kick it up just a bit and try to keep it there. Repeat till you feel like you're spent. Don't put a number of miles or a time limit, your body will tell you when you've had enough exercise. Just go and let your mind wander when you are running, think or do anything that makes you most comfortable (except stopping of course)
After jogging for a minute or so, you will be inhaling and exhaling more. Inhale through your nose with an amount of steps you feel comfortable with, then exhale in the same rythem out of your mouth. When I start off I inhale 8 steps, exhale 8 steps. Deep breaths from the diaphragm. This does wonder for your lungs over time. You will want to increase your distance over time. Try running a few times a week at least for at least a half an hour. You don't have to be running constantly for a half an hour, just push yourself for that long. Go home, eat, take a nap, and wake up feeling like a shmillion dollarz.
GL HF, go gettem tiger. I'm rootin for ya Sonnet. I hope all your posts are sonnets

I pretty muchy disagree with TimmyMac, at least from the way I think he means what he said. Running at 8min/km is totally fine if that is a decent pace for you, i.e conversational/65ish % max HR type running. This will develop aerobic capacity just fine because it is a good aerobic pace for you. Now, if you're a fit guy going out and running at 8 min/km is a waste of you're time, unless your doing some sort of recovery day or warm up. Running is all about the right intensity for you.
Plodding along is totally realtive to the person. For an elite runner like Haile Gebreselassie plodding along is sub 7:00 miles, and an easy jog is probably in the neighboorhood of 6:00 or less per mile. Then again, this is a guy who can run 26 4:40 ish miles. It's all relative to your own personal fitness level.

Yo Sonnet, You want to run some more? Get on it, Run til your feet get sore.
Don't let others grind your gears, Just be better than you were last week. Don't compare yourself to peers, Cuz they've got nothing on how you geek.
Find a way to make the exercise fun. Listening to music works for me. Find what compels you to run. I think finding a reason is the key.
Yo Sonnet, You want to run some more? Get on it, Run til you can't take anymore.
If you find you haven't exercised all day, And if you have been devoid of motion, You might get put into a state of dismay. Note that fitness requires devotion.
I even run withing my own house I like 'free running', taking an odd path When you're sweaty, shower for a douse! You'll be fitter over time according to my math.
So Sonnet, You want to run some more? GTF on it, Until you practically soar.

By your advice I'm deeply heartened, for you see my legs do pain me sorely, Dull aches through my legs have sharpened, I must from now on stretch more surely
Still 'cross plains I watch them scurry, Their pounding feet 'gainst dew soaked grass, Legs all constant motion, a grim flurry Sun sheen on shoes, and all of glass
And so I'll run until a stitch rends, 'til setting sun the moon eclipses, And like my runs this sonnet ends, In vaguely disappointed ellipsis
But most of all I'm glad to see, I'm not as 'lone as I thought I'd be

This guy's gonna get legendary if he manages to keep this up for ~100 posts and over. And for pretty good reason too, for some reason I fail at writing poetry.
|
Well at least these are simple to interpret.
|
It's more a matter of repetition and schedule. If you set yourself up in a routine and continue to do that routine, then you will feel yourself being able to complete it easier and easier as you do it more often. Make sure you do it though; one day of 'nah I'll do it tomorrow' and eventually every day will be like that. Commitment is key. Goodluck. ^_^
|
Starting off is hard, but small progress is still good. Persist through each day.

Eat non-processed foods until you are no longer hungry. Drink as much water as humanly possible Run hard with good shoes on grass if possible for 30-45 minutes as many times a week as possible.

I should own up, my diet's poor, To mars and coke do my tastes trend, Hence forth shall I try to be mature, In fruit's direction shall I tend
'til now on grass have I been running, Perhaps 'tis on this account my ankles ache, So from now on I feel a yearning, To feel my feet on solid substrate
If nothing else I'm running further, Happy too to say that I feel fitter, And poor sleep gived me far less bother, Of these benefits I'm all atwitter,
A huge thanks to all who've so far posted, Without the advice I'd be pretty much toasted
