View Full Version : (Heavyweights) on 7+ mile runs do you carry water with you?
SquareCircle 07-23-2007, 12:28 AM today i jogged 7.19mi for the first time.
I brought like 1/4th full of a small water bottle with me just in my pocket and took tiny sips per 1.5 mile or so. Helped out alot.
whats killin me though, is this goddamn rash on my ass from all that running.
Jimmy The Gent 07-23-2007, 06:41 AM what pace were you doing it at, I usually sip water for an hour before my run so I'm fully hydrated by the time I start my run
Hard Chaw 07-23-2007, 06:59 AM Lol might sound gay but put some vasline on that ass.
I got quite chunky legs and i allways chuck the stuff on my legs when on a long run cause of the friction over time.

Thats good work bro! 5 is my maximum, but I usually do an average of 3.5 miles 4 -5 times a week. Also started getting some sprints in there.
How did your calves hold out?

There is a product that runners use that will solve this. Its called Body Glide. It goes on like a stick deodorant and it stops chaffing. You can use it anywhere on your body and it isn't sticky or messy.
You can get it at a runner’s store like Fleet Feet or pretty much any major sporting goods store. It really is a great product.

took me a tad over an hour to finish, so a not-so-fast pace.
and I just know alot of fighters who have died via collapsing while running so I just carry water with me so I don't have to bust up into the nearest conveinence stores, dripping with sweat and panting, looking for a faucet and get the customers talking.

good work how longs it take you to do all that?

Do this sooner rather than later actually, cause if you leave it your rash could end up getting pretty painful/annoying
hook42 07-23-2007, 01:43 PM i dont get how you could run 7 miles i mean i could go 7 rounds easy waltzing around the ring but not run 7 miles

I know people who can do that...But I have to say for a heavy thats impressive, and looking at his avatar SquareCircle is a big guy.
But i know enough guys in 130-140 range to who can 7+ miles.
Personaly I cant run for ****.

I saw you wrote in another thread about jogging 30 seconds then running 2m 30 then repeating this interval over and over. Do you do this for all your runs? What distance do you normally cover when running intervals?

the thing with intervals is, I do it accustomed to how tired I am. If I'm tired as hell I'm just going to keep a steady pace. But if I'm not I'll do the intervals to get me to that exhausted place we love so much ..I do them on any distance, moreso on the shorter runs though. I think hard interval training is best on a 2 or 3 mile run. im doing these long distance runs at nighttime so i can melt off some of this weight.
about running, I used to suck at it, but you cover these three bases and you can run a long distance without a problem.
In my experience i have found 3 things very important to be able to run a long distance and keep a straight head.
1> Don't go hard early on if you're running more than 5 miles. You need to save those muscles for when you're like a mile away from home, then you step it up and gas out. dont gas out early, very important.
2>If your shoes suck, so will the run. I use the best air maxes money can buy, and i got em cheap on ebay (50 bucks.)
3>Morale. i didnt realize how much running with an ipod helps. I swear I can run at least twice as far with an ipod, rather than without it. Get an ipod and some good headphones, put your music on there whatever it may be, and it will more than double your running efficiency.
Hey Dark. I bet your best punch is a hook/uppercut isnt it.
Jimmy The Gent 07-24-2007, 02:29 PM number 1 is absolutly correct square the first 5 minutes of a run is vital you have to keep a steady pace so you don't exhaust yourself, you may think well I'll go out fast and I'll take it easy for a mile midway through but your exhaustion won't go away no matter how easy you take it unless you ease yourself into the run

Amen to the iPod suggestion. That's what I use, that and some water. I used to be able to do about eight miles a day, a few years ago, which I am actually working on beating, which will be around 12 or so miles a day. It isn't that horrible when you have music and just focus on what you're doing. Although at first it can be aggrivating if you haven't ran in awhile.

cheers forthat bro, it's good hearing from other fighters in the superheavy's to hear how they train and stuff.
Yeah, my left hook and uppercut has alot of power behind them. When I start throwing hooks at the heavybag people stop what they're doing and start looking around, but i'm trying to knuckle down and improve on speed and gain some versatility. Everyone keeps telling me about my power but i don't want to become reliant on it.
Anyways keep up the good work bro!
