7 day streak of running 2.5 km every morning!

Good job! You probably already know, but don't forget to skip some days to let your body recover ☺️

@ScriptCoded huh?

@kiki Or maybe you don't know. Basically it's harmful to exercise a specific muscle group every day because it can lead to injuries. When you run, your muscles get damaged a tiny bit, and they improve by growing back stronger, but if you just run every day they don't have a chance to rest and regrow and you risk injuring the muscle becaude of it. So whenever exercise(any kind) you're support to rest every few days.
Also don't forget your warmups before and stretches after, they seem trivial but theyre important.

Get strong/healthy and stay safe <3

Good! Make it 3.0 km next month.

@SoldierOfCode oh, thanks! I never knew

running every day is very important to me as someone who's recovering from depression. What can I do to still run every day without damaging anything? Run slower? Maybe take a shorter distance?

7 day streak of waking up🥳

I ran like 50 meters yesterday on my walk

my cardio is that of a snail after being sick

I remember being able to run indefinitely as a teenager... got 2nd in cross country and it wasn't even gendered, and I just sat at home for 2 months prior on my computer
my ankles swelled up for 2 weeks after that tho, probably shouldn't do that out of nowhere

@jestdotty 50m sprinting? Might be dangerous without an extensive warm-up…

Go go go!

Keep it up @kiki, we're rooting for you!

@ScriptCoded Any actual tips to control breathing while running?

@sandeepbalan no definitely not! I have a tendency to hold my breath while doing intensive tasks, and that doesn't go too well with running 😅

@ScriptCoded straight up stress testing his heart!

holding breathing is actually good

when I was a kid and had perfect cardio all the teachers would bitch at me for holding my breathing

the reality is I just didn't breathe very much

a friend of mine gave me this book called "oxygen advantage" and I'm legitimately so fucking mad now
the book is annoying to read but it explains a lot if you can stand it

I've never understood people's dumb advice but over the years I started to slowly listen and that was a mistake

tldr; breathing little is fine and actually the goal

also this book is why I'm gonna be doing cardio. gonna get up to 7 minutes running as hard as possible then run back and that should theoretically put me at indefinite cardio ability again. gonna take like 2 months to test if my theory is gonna work out
