are we gatekeeping running now?
But he still did morning cardio and I did not, nor did most of us here. Going for it in any way is better than not going at all
Beg pardon, but I do morning cardio every day…
I have a quiet anxiety attack at the thought that it’s another day, and hold it there for 10-15 minutes (20 if it’s a Sunday).
You can get good cardio at slow speeds, by carrying a heavy load (like a backpack full of rocks) to increase the effort and get heart rate up. This is sometimes desired by people who want to avoid the high impact on joints of running on hard surfaces.
But that man ain’t got no backpack full of rocks on him.
His body is full of rocks
lovin that route
Nearly ten minutes a km? fucking weak.
Seriously. I walk 5km in about 50 minutes
I am 46 and was in the ICU a couple months ago with super high blood pressure and a false alarm for a stroke. Up until last week, I hadn’t ran for proper exercise in 20 years:
I can push myself to two miles, but it hurts. It only took a couple of months to work up to this point, so that was cool.
But still, if he wants to show off that he is doing just a little better than a 46 year old with cardiovascular issues he can go right ahead. I ain’t going to yuck anyone else’s yum, but a comparison needed to be made.
Edit: Fitbit doesn’t separate workout types that well without planning ahead and configuring a workout routine. “Lap 2” was a running mile, and the rest of the laps are walking.
I’d argue you’re way more fit than the pathetic poser in the OP.
Does it really matter how good or bad at running he is? At least he’s doing more than a lot of people and he isn’t morbidly obese like half of them these days.
Sure, but 10 min/ km is my go-to estimate when I’m walking somewhere.
