Running

Post by InvincibleCakeEater »

I usually run 5-7 miles about 3 days a week and for the last few weeks I've been quitting around 3. My knees don't seem to be hurting any more than normal, but it seems like I'm exhausting myself really quickly. I bounce back just fine though. Maybe it's just my mindset or the weather or something. WTF?

When I stall out I go to endorush (they sell it an GNC) or I start looking at my shoes. Usually my shoes are the problem. I can only put 100-200 miles on them before I need to change them out.

Another thing that helps me when I stall out is changing out my music.

Maybe it's the treadmill. I switched to inside running because of the weather. Might try out a different machine and see if it's better. Another mini running rant. The weight room I work out at has all of their treadmills facing a tv, I hate that!

Endorush will make you run twice as far as you wanted to.
But yeah, I turn the personal tv's off on my treadmills when I run on them. I totally focus on music. I have several gym memberships and my favorite treadmill set up faces the weight lifting area. I like looking at the men lifting weights.

Oh yeah? Why does every gym I have ever been a member of have the aerobics in a room where men lifting weights can look? The yoga and step classes always are the entertainment of men lifting weights. I am no perv. I am just seeking equal enjoyment.

You probably have the better end of the deal. I do not see very many hotties at the gym.

You live in BFE. I work out in Creve Couer usually. I am the least hot person there.

Good point. Seems like any decent looking girls usually show up for about a week or two and never come back.
