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

@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 -
kiki3342616d@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? -
jestdotty259716dI 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 -
@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 😅

jestdotty259714dholding 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
7 day streak of running 2.5 km every morning!
