Pfft. Let me know when he wants to learn to row, because I’d bow for him, if you know what I mean.
You are all jealous bitches because his times apparently suck but he’s still too hot to ever notice you.
Have you worked as a railway dentist?
The reference
One of Czech genius Jára Cimrman’s many enterprises was nomadic dentistry. Around the turn of the 19ᵗʰ and 20ᵗʰ century, he would criss-cross Austria-Hungary’s entire railway network with his one-rail wheelbarrow and fix the teeth of station, switch and signal operators who couldn’t leave their post to get it done in town. Railway sleepers were 90 cm apart, resulting in the short Cimrman’s unusually long gait.
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).
are we gatekeeping running now?
lovin that route
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.
Carrying a heavy pack is really hard on the joints
Not as hard on the joints as heel striking on concrete in a run.
Depends on the weight of the pack and the terrain, it can be
A pack heavy enough for a fast walk to generate a sustained elevated heart rate, over a flat side walk, will create far less impact than a heel striking run on the same side walk.
For me, to elevate my heart rate as much as running, I’ve got to be carrying a 20kg pack up a loose rocky mountain pass, or practically jogging, either of which is quite rough. Just walking quickly on flat pavement isn’t nearly as effortful as running.
What is needed to generate the results varies from person to person depending on their fitness level, but the point is that, rucking reduces the rate of injury, particularly for people only have practical access to a hard surfaced environment for cardio.
His body is full of rocks
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.
Walking at a brisk pace though, if you’re more chill it’s more like 15 minutes or so.
And walking is still cardio.
