okay, the other thread died out so I started this one...

A buddy and I are running at Lake Johnson M-F at 6:30 am. I'm trying to get a little group going with guys and girls so we'll have enough people for ability groups...


PM me if interested or just show up at the Lake Johnson parking lot (by the building) at 630.

Good God that is early

i want to start gettin up at like 6 though so this may be what i need

hmmm

1/16/2007 7:15:32 PM

believe me, I would be doing this a whole lot later if I didn't have work...

1/16/2007 7:17:28 PM

what kind of mileage are you guys doing?

I'd be down.

1/16/2007 8:10:22 PM

i'm only going 3 miles in the AM but I'm looking to increase to around 4-5.

The more people I get, the better because we'll have many different ability groups to work with and everyone will have a partner

There is a reason the other thread died. It's because only a few exceptions on this site are motivated enough to stick to a work out routine. And 6:30am? These are college kids man, this shit will never work.

this morning will be crazy

I stopped updating the other thread because NO ONE ever fucking came.

Okay, ONE girl made it out a couple of times. I've learned that Tdub is full of lazy/busy people

1/18/2007 1:18:31 AM

i went but we never could find each other or meet up at the same times

anyways...thats early as piss and since then i found out running that much is making me lose muscle mass

so i stopped runnin that long now

1/18/2007 7:02:50 PM

^yea, my weightlifting went to shit when i started running everyday but my main focus at this point is losing weight. I still lift but its nowhere what it used to be

actually to lose weight running isnt your best option...weight liftin and about 20 min of cardio would be best, cardio only burns calories for about 3 hours after u work out, lifting tears the muscle so the protein continues to rebuild and thus using more energy requires more of ur bodies supply of fat making you lose weight


thats what i have found recently anyways.

except you lose 2-3 times the calories during a good cardio workout, versus lifting. He probably means he wants to lose FAT, not really just weight. Weight lifting doesn't have any significant impact on that, more muscle burns more intake calories, it doesn't burn more fat.

Chew on this.

I had a lower body fat percentage when I was real particular about my diet and did nothing but weight lifting (next to zero cardio outside of an occasional volleyball game or something) than last year when I was swimming 2-4 miles a week, riding ~100+ miles a week, and running ~15 miles a week and still being fairly particular (though not quite as much) about my diet.

1/19/2007 11:02:13 AM

^ thats how it works

who has more body fat, a sprinter or a marathon runner?

1/19/2007 11:13:08 AM

i never understood why people do one or the other...i've always been one of those people that would lift weights AND do cardio stuff...usually just alternate the days

i thought this was common sense but then u read threads like this and wonder...

1/19/2007 11:28:16 AM

^you can lift in the evenings even after running every day which is what I'm doing. Its working so far. I lost 35 lbs and maintained 80% strength.

PLus, it depends on your routine during the day. My job is extremely sedentary so I pretty much had to completely change my diet and do something for exercise every day. Different strokes for different folks i guess

I do both on the same day. I run 5-6 miles [and bike the hills 2-3 days a week] after I lift 5 days a week. I don't really care if that is 'the right way' but I've seen great results in only 3 months. By summertime I'm pretty confident I'll look and feel the way I want to.

Though, unlike MOST (not all) people on here I'm very motivated and very disciplined when it comes to it..
