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:

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 ...
I can commiserate on the lower back issues...the beauty of swimming ...I can still swim with a back spasm (not aggressively of course), and actually help ease it....
