That's true, but I do enjoy competing with myself even if it's not on a world stage. I might not share anything in common with Haile (that 56kg bastard runs 5km in the time it takes me to do just over 3km lol), but I don't share much in common with 99% of the population who don't run either ;)

Oh 56kg. Only 40kg lighter than me then. >_<

I guess my point is you still make big improvements if you do a consistant <100% effort & it is easier to find motivation. The odd maximum effort to see how well or otherwise you are doing doesnt hurt - other than if you try it too often. Then you end up tired/unhappy and often as not injured.

Yep, training cycles is the way to go , consistently trying to lift your fitness base, going full on 100% will only get you injured and you actually end up going backwards in my experience.

Well, this week I've flat out busy and basically only got a chance to work out 1 night this week, and whaddaya know, soreness was pretty much gone!!

I ran a heap when I was a kid and am now getting back into it. Im running a 6km route on an average time of 28min. My best is a 27.30. Its fairly hilly which is good. I was doing it about 3 times a week but surfing is getting in the way.

6kms in less than 30mins is def worth bragging about.

I can barely do 2.5kms in 15mins.

This week im changing my routine.. i want to get ripped for summer therefore will be pushing my self harder to achieve 3km's in least possible time and at least running 3-4 days a week.

  • 2 weeks later...

hey guys,

ive only really started running about 9 days ago have done 3 runs (3.58km, 4.3km and 3.53km) as it had been close to 3 weeks since BBall and i need to have some fitness..

but i think the main motivation i got all of a sudden is RunKeeper.. Any of u guys use it?

its an app on iphones that tracks:

distance travelled, maps it out, altitude (i live in a hilly area so good to see. climb = 36m), Pace (minutes per km) etc

and its awesome! haha highly recommend it... ive knocked off 2 minutes on my 3.5km runs went from 19:46 to 17:44 really motivational to see progress.

I went out and bought some running shoes the other day, $220 later. Hopefully can get out for a run tonight for the first time since I started bulking (7 months ago). My blood pressure went up over this bulking phase, so hopefully running will counter it a little bit.

i have no motivation to run unless its some sort of sport. Dont know how you guys do it.

I take my hat off to you.

i am usually like that too.. and usually just play bball (twice a week) and some years i play footy and i do weights a fair bit...

trying to beat urself is great motivation though... plus i had to get new runners recently for uni so wanted to use them..

Whats some good running Shoes?

I've got some Nike Cross trainer's but now im getting into running faster and more often. (8-10km 3 times a week)

Heard good about Asics

ive heard alot of good things about asics too... although i still decided to buy reebok Realflex's..

if you plan on doing a lot of running. you should go to a shop like "the running factory" (a place where they analyse ur step/stride on a treadmill and pick shoes accordingly)

you should try something like them and see what they recommend for your gait.

all depends on what foot type you are.

if your foot rolls in when you stride then a kayano is good as it has built in arch supprt.

but if you bought a kayano when your foot rolls out its only going to make it roll out more.

so then you would need a more neutral shoe that doesnt have arch support.

but yes kayano are a real winner.

i used to work in a sports shop :) shoes make or break your body when it comes to running.

I have shoes that help with my flat-footedness. I think the term is over-pronating? Could be wrong.

I still need proper orthotics though. 12 month waiting period for those on private health insurance, argh.

In about August I was at my peak running fitness, I got a personal best of 5km in 25 mins, was fairly proud of that :)

Cut out most of my running because it was making me lose too much weight, haha.

Thanks guys. Might go have a look at the kayano tomorrow.

5km in 25mins is good man. In my 8-10km fastest is 45. When i first started i was hopeless at running and done most of it walking (1hr 20 lol)

lost heaps of weight tho but now i wanna tone and not lose to much more.

is treadmill running better then on the path running or is it the other way around, i just started out about 2 weeks ago on a treadmill.

My best was 3.7km distance in half hour my breakdown is 10min power walk @6.2kph speed then 10 minute jogging at 8.2kph speed then back to 6.2kph speed for the remaining 10min

Been through a fair few sets of Kayano's now (talking several thousands of kilometers) they are pretty much the best running shoe you can get.

If you do a search there is a place in england that sells them online, works out being over $100 cheaper then buying them here !

    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
