Do you need running tips? Triggerhapppy can help you.

Shoes are very tricky. I had to try five different pairs before I found the right one.

Agreed. Just buying a pair of $120 kicks is not going to necessarily do anything good for you. They are all formed differently and some people's feet (and legs, hips, and back for that matter) will suffer if they are forced into intense activity with a shoe that goes against their body structure. It's not that way for everyone, but it's a serious issue for some of us. In my case, I was throwing money at the problem and it wasn't until I found brands and models that actually worked well for my foot was I able to run more than 1 block without intense pain.

the whole thing about treadmill vs outdoor running..

running outside just seems to provide some mental/spiritual therapy, as you look at your surroundings and nature while you run..

and just like when you have to get used to people looking at you while your in the ring sparring/competing, running outside sort of provides that imo.

according to my opinion Running is best way to get rid from the over weight. Running burn the 110 calories in 45 minutes. It also helpful to increase the stamina of the body.

Thanks for the tips man and on a side note do police ever stop you whilst your running the streets wearing that mask in the early hours of the morning?

You should always warm up before you start especially if you live in the north and its winter time. You need to dress correctly depending on the weather you need appropriate foot wear for your needs also. Warming up is part of being an athlete and definetly a boxer. Theres no activity a boxer starts with that doesn't have a warm up with it. When you spar you should be lightly shaddowing out and atleast have a sweat broken. No one goes in the ring without breaking a sweat if you do you need to re-evaluate your method. You need warm muscles to eliminate any possibility of strains and pulls. In the winter months you want to keep some heat in so a wool hat is a good idea and you can control your body heat by keeping heat in or releasing through the top of your head. I know of NO boxer that I've worked with and/or trained that doesn't warm up before an activity that is demanding on their bodies. If your going out to distance and your not adding sprints to the run you can start out with walking and slight stretching but either way warm ups are a must. Any fighter worth their salt takes care of the bodies and does nothing to slow training or hamper their learning sessions. Ray.

for or against wearing sweat suits? heard people saying they just de-hydrate you and you cant run as long, pointless and a dangerous way of cutting weight?

[Walt Liquor]

no difference from running in a gym on a treadmill vs outside?


plus the shoes don't matter?

Trigger happy!

What is a good time schedule to keep for someone who might still be getting a little winded on their runs?

In order to see good steady improvement what are a few of the things I need to do to really increase my productivity?

How fast should I be running?

[CymruAmByth]

i only run 30 minutes.

i never stretch. it is BORING. i never ever ever got an injury from not stretching. i mean ya sometimes my muscles are tight but you know what? i'm not in a marathon so who cares.

I used to be like you and not stretch atall. I was fine for ages, then BAM. Got runners knee and i haven't been able to exercise regularly since November last year. Stretching and warming up may be boring, but it needs doing
