Being in shape for the gym and the real world. Is there a difference?
Former Member
I tried running outside today for the first time since I was about 5, and it could have gone better. I made it a total of about 10 minutes and I maybe ran a mile. Then I started to feel sick to my stomach (though that could have been the pizza), and got a side ache and really tired. But when I'm in the gym, I can run for at least 30 minutes no problems.
Any ideas of how to make my gym enduracne translate to the road? :dunno:
Now why didn't I think of that?! I may actually use that line on my runner son if he misbehaves. Very clever LBJ. That's why I wanted to meet you. But racewalking looks hard to master. I'm still working on that OW swimming thing. How many sports can one do at once? I'm not Muppet you know ... And that Natalie/Heather/runner/swimmer/gymnast chick is two decades younger than me ... I can't keep up with her.
Treadmills are good when there is ice and snow. I do think they're much easier than running outside and much easier on the bod.
Former runner, and believe me I wasn't blazing any trails ... all fast twitch muscles over here ...
Actually, I can't run anymore because of my back. I have some funky thing with the base of spine I can't exactly remember the name of or explain ... so I stick to the pool, where I'm guessing you could kick my posterior ...
