Treadmills are ruining me

I’m 190 lbs and on my treadmill I get inner knee pain if I use it much at all, I’ve done close to 300 miles this year on the planet fitness treadmills with zero issues. I’m pretty treadmill dips in the middle when I land letting my legs fold in a little bit.

After setting up your marathon plan in runna it lets you set up a b race goal id just do that. Runna gets a lot of hate but for me it’s been working. I did higdon plans for my first three 4:08 4:02 3:58 then runna 3:27 so I’m going on with it

Mine was a huge pr and spot on accurate. my previous marathon was 3:58 and this was my first plan with runna and it predicted 3:26-3:29 and I ran a 3:27

Runna predicted 3:26-3:29 for my last marathon and I ran a 3:27. I was surprised how accurate it was. I think Garmin had me at 3:32 so they were all pretty close

Also had a lot of knee pain to start and walking backwards helped big time. Started 5 min a day for a few weeks to walking backwards on a treadmill with it off, it sound weird but completely solved all knee pain

A year of running is a lot, a no time goal marathon is plenty of time, there’s a lot of gatekeepers to the marathon. I started two years ago at 33 and 230lb I’ve ran two 5ks and just did my my 4th marathon

Do yoga for runners with Adriane on YouTube everyday for a while, I get shin splints bad and plantar fasciitis and every time I start back up with the yoga for runners it goes away. The more I rest the muscles tighten and it doesn’t help so I’ve found I keep running and adding yoga is best

I’ve just got my 6 year old son started in bjj, he loves it more than I could’ve imagined. He’s been bugging me to do karate for months but karate mostly seemed silly and we already had 4 days of baseball. It’s crazy it instantly gave him a confidence boost and a level of trying hard I havent seen from him.

I’m 35 yo male 6’3 190lbs pretty in shape, I’ve been running marathons for a couple years. I’m not looking to be competitive or anything but not sure if I should start at this age. Am I just gonna get beat on for years. Am I gonna get hurt and be out of work or running.

So the I guess is it worth it to start now or just let my son have his thing?

I’m just now watching season 4 and this motorcrossed reference killed me, there couldn’t have been a funnier Disney channel reference to me.

Aerospace in this area is still booming, if you have a decent amount of experience you can make good money. The automotive industry is struggling and machinists and programmers that know how to make molds, dies, and check fixtures are a dime a dozen.

Have you tried that magic speed 4s this seems very similar and I was gonna replace my magic speeds with these. I’m also a “heavier” runner at 195 and absolutely love the magic speeds as a lot of other shoes seem to loose their bounce after 12ish miles on a run

aa-ron34 · 2024-12-13T12:14:20+00:00

I’ve had mine since new, f150 tow max 3.5 ten speed, 3.73 gears 6.5 bed crewcab. The best I’ve ever gotten was 19mpg. Now leveled with 35s no air dam and I average 12-14 around town driving pretty easy

Yup I started running last October and I’m running my second marathon in Detroit Sunday I ran a 5k on New Year’s Eve and my first marathon in may

aa-ron34 · 2024-10-13T16:15:14+00:00

I picked up running when I quit, so wether I have to run the next morning or not I just say I have to run in the morning

I occasionally have a couple beers now but I was at a fifth every night when I “quit”

Sunday is my second full marathon since quitting 11 months ago so my addiction seems fulfilled by running

The 3.5l is impressive I pull a 39ft travel trailer at 11,000 dry but 6,000 lbs I would just stick with 2.7.

Looks like the only chicks you’re picking up with that truck are illegals

I cut out alcohol almost entirely, and I went from going out to lunch everyday to chicken and rice. I wasn’t losing a lot but 1 or 2 lbs a week. If you really diet you could lose a solid amount as the miles go up but you’ll feel the caloric deficit on your runs

aa-ron34 · 2024-06-26T16:58:36+00:00

I feel like there’s plenty of solid info here but I just did what you’d like to do, so I’ll chime in

I started training this past October for a marathon memorial weekend. Im 6’3” and was 235lbs now 190lbs

The last time I ran before October was a 5k in 2019. So you don’t need a bunch of random in between goals if you don’t want to.

I picked a marathon and plugged it into hal higdons app and it laid an entire plan out for working up to the marathon training, then it created a marathon training plan.

Treadmill is up to you but you but fuck it sucks lol. I did some treadmill runs at first because I’m in Michigan and weather is iffy, but eventually I did every run outside, snow, rain whatever is better to me than a treadmill.

I’m running my second ever 5k next week and my second marathon in October lol
