just add a minute a day
It doesn't you're just fat
im 195lbs @ 6'3 and running 8.5 minutes out of 30 is killing me. i just dont have an athletic bone in my body.
Long distance cardio is all mind
Guarantee you can do at least 20 minutes just don't be a pussy and quit when you are tired at 8.5
After you get past the 30 min wall, you will never feel tired
8.5 as in it's spread over 30 minutes lol. I do 4, walk for 6, then do 2.5, walk for 7.5, then do 2. I know I suck but I've been trying to add on 30 seconds every few days.
Just do 10 minutes straight then 20 then 30 then add 5's
Quit being a vag you are going to have to push yourself or you aren't going to improve
Dude I finish every cardio session with a soaked shirt dripping sweat. I'm really trying not to be a pussy here but I think I need to build my way up to running 10 straight.
stop running (or only running) and start doing versaclimber, stairmaster or jumprope
regardless of the type, doing 1-2 hours every single day for a month usually tricks me into loving it if I've stopped for a while. feel like shit if i skip a couple days. it helps to get into it more if you are very angry and listen to metal, not some pussy rap garbage
never met a metalhead that wasnt a weirdo
Yeah you're meant to sweat when you run you fat frick. That doesn't mean you stop. Listen - here's what you do. Jump on the treadmill and set it at a speed where you can go for 20 minutes. Even if it's a light jog. Don't fricking walk for any of it. Just light jog for 20 minutes. Manage that OK? Great - next time, do the same thing, but put the speed up just a little bit. And again, and again. It's literally no different to weightlifting - start by doing what you can do, and when you succeed at that, make it a little harder next time. It's the only way to grow. You sound like a massive pussy but even you can do this OP. Just quit whinging and get back to work.
Like anything hard it helps tremendously if you actively want to do it
This, cardio is very mental, it's simple movements that stress and fatigue you for long periods of time, if you start by focusing on pain rather than gain you'll be unable to enjoy into the gains zone.
This sounds like bullshit but it's absolutely real
Be sure you have incline set to 0, very easy to mistake 1 for 0 and it adds a lot more exhaustion than you'd think. What speed are you using?
Never. But still do it because it's good for you. If it were easy everyone would do it.
it stops sucking when you start nuttin
try cardio you enjoy
This, riding a big fat dildo might be more his cuppa tea
>tfw running since Christmas
>30 mins, 3-4 times a week
>tfw speed increased
>tfw still hate it
>but tfw it feels good when it's done
When you stop being fat
im not fricking fat
When you find one you enjoy. I fricking hate running but I can cycle for hours, just try different exercises out until you find one you like.
What I want to know is how the frick do the people on the stair machine for 30+ minutes do it? Saw a woman at the gym do over 5k stairs the other day, and she was fat too. I wonder how fat she was when she started.
I do sprints and suicides as well as basketball.
When you buy (or steal) a gravel bike
>Fat frick who’d get fatigued by just looking at the stairs
>Lady in town was giving away an old elliptical machine
>Grab it
>5 minutes and I had to stop
>Added 2,5 minutes every second day until I could do it for an hour
The cardio gains are so fricking good. I’m down to doing it 30 minutes every day instead now, as an hour takes too much of my time, but then I wear a 10-15kg backpack every second day for some resistance training.
Takes forever to get used to it, just gotta cope with it.
When you stop being fat
Idk. Few months maybe. Literally just run slower. I’ve been running for years and still don’t really enjoy it, but I don’t mind doing it and feel like a lazy frick when I don’t. Stop caring about how far or how fast you go… just make it a habit and the rest will come with time.
im under 10% bodyfat and it doesnt get easier im drenched in sweat after 30 min on stairmaster, i do calf raises with every step though so that might be why
Hello lite
One of the greatest runners, Steve Prefontaine, said: it doesn’t get easier, you just get faster
he's right. a true 8 minute mile guy running an all out 8 minute mile is going to hurt. A 4 minute mile guy running a 4 minute mile is going to hurt. The only way it stops hurting is if you're going slow relative to your fitness level. Even people training to get better at running do most of their miles at this pace. If you don't care about that just get to a reasonable fitness level where you can jog comfortably. Then you can just jog and probably never improve at running but never have to hurt either. You still get the benefits of keeping healthy and thin.
> Do lower intensity most of the time, you actually get more benefit from this anyway and it's much more comfortable.
> Don't just run on a treadmill, look on a map and find cool places in your town/area to explore by running or cycling.
> Get some good shoes so you don't mash your joints up
>be me
>25 years of never cardio
>still pretty well built bc not amerilard and somewhat active
>active meaning walking
>see couch to 5k thread
>1 month to achieve that
>frick this
>first run 3k
>second run 5k
>2 weeks in hit 10k easily

Seriously, how much out of shape is the average man? I would consider me average before this.
what time on 5k
25 min
Then why there’s so many fitizens in those thread
Because most fitizens are 300lb fatties who don't leave their basements and LARP here aspirationally.
Make sense
You think there are LARPing fatties on this board? What do they gain by being fake to themselves?
C25K is intended to be accessible for mega fatties and old people. Literally people who can't workout at all without feeling like they are dying.
reminder that there's only jogging and sprinting and one of them is a woman's excersice
Gonna start doing cardio for boner gains, should I do sprints or long jogs?
Boring answer both but longer cardio is better for heart/blood circulation/erection
Day 1 if you choose a form of cardio that you actually like.
For me, it's bikes.
Cardio? Isn't that for women?
When you've been doing it for a week
The first day is the hardest, followed by the day after your cheat day
if you are 200+ pounds running will always suck. If you are less than 200 pounds it takes like 2 months to get into shape.
when i was a skinny 17 year old it was much more pleasant and i could also outpace everybody so it felt good for the ego too. With each summer since it has gotten harder to get into running because ive gotten bigger every year.
It doesn't ever suck
Find a speed where you can stay under 70% of your max heart rate and you can run almost forever. After the first couple miles you get in a rhythm and it stops sucking and starts getting boring. After that it just comes down to how long you can be bored.
I'm a lanklet with long legs and found that the jog became less of a slog the more I took longer and longer strides. Now I run like a fricking giraffe and my friends say I look like I'm running in slow motion because I'm taking fewer strides but I'm moving faster because they're clearing so much space. I swear it actually helps with endurance more than pumping your legs fast as you can. Instead I'm almost taking leaping strides leg to leg and you really fly. Would recc to anyone really don't think you have to be a lanklet to do this but it is most comfortable probably if you got long legs.
Just don’t do continuous lame ass slow running for cardio as it gets monotonous even if you’re fit and pushing good times.
Just do sprinters cardio and do slow 400/800m repeats many times with running pause in between (ie. 400mx8 for 45sec or more if you’re that unfit, 30-60sec pause). Remember to not push it too much or it will quickly become lactose tolerance training.
All in all you’re done in 15min with this training and it’s infinitively better than running 5km+ to get basal cardio.
Find something that‘s actually fun, try different things. If you’re not into running, try cycling or rowing. If you’re not into that, try hanging yourself with an industrial belt.
Please don't try that last one
It doesn't; I've never gotten a runners high, I think that's people just deluding themselves into thinking it's happening, like giving a teenager a joint full of oregano or a non-alcoholic beer. You just gotta keep moving forward OP, when you stop, that's when you've failed.
I tried all kinds of cardio but they all suck. I have to wacht Netflix whilst running or cycling and even then it really has to hold my attention. It sucks
never. men aren't supposed to do cardio. cardio is to run away. only women and children run away from the enemy. men run towards the enemy and fight him to the death.
Running fricking sucks period. Cycling is pretty cool though, I don't feel like a depressive sack of shit if I ride my bike regularly.
