how to prepare for running?
-
i want to start going for runs to aid my fat loss. just going to aim for normal running for now, then maybe HITT sprints later when i am used to running.
what is required for warmup? stretching, walking? i dont want to endup with shin splints or other problems from running.
also can i run in early morning with an empty stomach, or will this cause muscle to catabolise? -
I run in evening...
1) I will usually flush myself with water 45 mins before run
2) Then BMT style warm up lor
3)
For starters,
Try to regulate breathing...
Try to cover distance...
4)
I walk some distance to warm down myself... -
yea empty stomach will cause muscle to catabolise. esp in the morning, your blood sugar is low. thus your body need something to burn when u run. so your fats, and msucle will be the source of energyOriginally posted by JoBonez:i want to start going for runs to aid my fat loss. just going to aim for normal running for now, then maybe HITT sprints later when i am used to running.

is your main goal to run or lose bodyfat?
-
That's a good question for TSOriginally posted by OPT:is your main goal to run or lose bodyfat? -
lose bodyfat is my main goal, but humans were made to run also, why not learn to run as well? i dont think it should cause me any harm right?Originally posted by OPT:is your main goal to run or lose bodyfat? -
true...good way to lose fats...wear jacket good.

I'm yet to see many people starting out who have the proper biomechanics.
You have to be fit to run, you don't run to get fit. -
so how would we go about getting fit to run? strengthening up first with weight training?Originally posted by OPT:I'm yet to see many people starting out who have the proper biomechanics.
You have to be fit to run, you don't run to get fit. -
here's just a basic outline - but no where near complete
Ankle mobility
Knee stability
Hip mobility
Lumbar Spine Stability
Thoracic Spine mobility
Scapular stability
Shoulder mobility/stability -
OPT, care to explain how to achieve those you mentioned?
I'm very interested too. -
I think it would be too much to post. Google those terms and I'm sure you'll find plenty of stuff to read.
-
you are right G, too much to post besides needs to be taught hands on.
People bodies are more fu#ked up than they know.... -

Try chomp down a bloody banana before the run, to metabolize the fats and muscles so early won't do so good for your blood sugar which may cause you to crash and burn before the run is complete.Originally posted by manyu882:yea empty stomach will cause muscle to catabolise. esp in the morning, your blood sugar is low. thus your body need something to burn when u run. so your fats, and msucle will be the source of energy -
I would advise beginner runners to learn on the run how to jog-run so as to understand their bio-rythmn and pacing.Originally posted by OPT:I'm yet to see many people starting out who have the proper biomechanics.

Should the mouth be opened when we run?
I was unprepared for NAPFA and my friends who ran 2.4 before me told me that it is better to keep the mouth closed when running so that the mouth don't feel so run before finishing the run. I used to run and used my mouth to breathe but always felt my mouth very dry after 4 rounds around the track. -
NS guys are supposed to sing while running.Originally posted by AngZangGui:Should the mouth be opened when we run?

wat do U think? -
maybe thats just to create unityOriginally posted by Xcert:NS guys are supposed to sing while running.

NS guys aren't the best of runners. In fact, NS people do a lot of stupid crap...doesn't mean we should all follow it.

But the stupid crap is not because NS people want to do -
I usually warmup by jogging slowly.
For starters, set yourself a target distance.
Each week increase the distance by 10%.
Jog slow.
It is good to plan one of your runs where you emphasise on your form. In short, a good form is that you "run tall". Imagine a string pulling your upwards. For more details, pick up a book on running.
To really burn fats, you'd have to jog more than 30 minutes.
But if you are a beginner, just concentrate on short jogs first.
Most of all, learn to enjoy it

I never really enjoy jogs... I feel neutral when jogging...Originally posted by sillyme:Most of all, learn to enjoy it
Any suggestions to enjoy jogs? I jog for the sole main purpose of burning energy and scoring in IPPT, and I don't listen to music or radio... -
I don't really have an answer. I don't listen to music also.Originally posted by eagle:I never really enjoy jogs... I feel neutral when jogging...

I think the place you jog may make a difference. And try to cover a non-repetitive route. -
to train for running SPEED, is a HIIT method of sprints with jogs/walks acceptable, or must you do a 50 - 400m sprint, then stop to rest for a few mins?
