humilation,depression,failure I have fought all of these things just by doing running..

I recently started running a bit more, when I started I was doing only a block (literally one block) and was 222 lbs today im celebrating 20 pounds off my body (202.6lbs) and the ability to run up to 5 miles!!! Guys I’m so hype and yes it changes your mood and just about everything.. For those that have just started, don’t worry if you only run a block (like me) just keep it up! There’ll be pain on the feet, a couple of injuries and you’re going to have to rest it off for a week or so but don’t quit and keep it up, don’t stop, it gets better I promise!

I've noticed a change in my stomach, it's flatter than it was despite me not losing much weight.

I absolutely love running and have seen more benefits doing it than any other movement . What upsets me is hearing time and time again how cardio isn't good and we need to be doing weight training more. I do agree that weight training is massively beneficial but let me enjoy my cardio! Why are so many people negative about it? Maybe the people who put cardio down just can't handle it or something I don't know 😂 I personally like doing a run then about 30 mins of weight training. Maybe no one else has heard the negative talk about it but I see it on all the fitness accounts on Instagram. Usually someone with massive muscles saying how shit cardio is and that I need to start lifting

Running gives me peace

I started running twice a week in intervals. I've built up to a steady 2-3 mile run. I love it. My background is/was competitive bodybuilding/powerlifting/strongman. I was 243 lbs back in December and made a promise that once I got to my goal weight at 210. I started to run and got the mentioned pains. But it's getting better. One very cool effect is that my lower abs are now as prominent as the upper four-pack. I've also increased my carbs and I'm still looking at 210-212 weekly. I'm only doing twice-weekly running. I also do strongman events once per week and bodybuilding work. My goal is to look like a superhero without competing. My granddaughter is also my goal at 54 I want to remain healthy, steroid-free, and look better than the average 50+ guy. Plus looking jacked is always bad ass LOL

The way I dealt with shin splints was to jog very slowly for a day or two till they went away. For plantar-type pain Ibuprofen 200 mg. tablets are amazing, and inexpensive. The tablets are far better than the cream or ointment.

Best video and explanation for beginners runners

started to notice, that, when my weekly mileage went higher and I started to ran longer (6/8/10 miles runs), one of my toenails indeed got black, was pretty worried about that and the nipples one, I always forget it, and than it burns (bleeds sometimes) like crazy, so, thank you guys, for the tips!

Hamstring pulls and tears theres another injury, had a grade 2 back in March, beautiful pattern bruising to the leg and a frustrated me, back now though but listen to your body😀

Rungry. I've never heard the term, but it's absolutely true. When I was training for my marathons, I felt like I had a tapeworm. No matter how much I ate, it never felt like it was enough. After my Saturday long runs, I would two different breakfasts and still be desperately hungry for lunch. All of this without gaining any weight. And nipple chafing. Yep. That's rough. I made a rookie mistake and wore cotton on a semi long run. When I got back to the house, I felt like I had been sandblasted. Performance fabric + Body Glide = no more chafing. 👍🏼👍🏼

Some times during the initial part of the run one may get a lil pain here or a slight sprain there if it isn't really bad continue running and it vanishes never to come back again...that's the magic of running

Sincere regards and greetings ❤️❤️🙏🙏

At the thought of running my body changes by going into the prone position with a bag of crisps a bar of chocolate and a cold bottle of Pepsi.

Your toenails may turn black and fall off-but no worries! No really.... LoL Blisters do get me-getting good socks that don't have seams on them that rub on the sides of your feet...helps. Inner thigh chaffing is the worst. "Rump" cream from Lush is fabulous...and I like "satin sheets" by Lush too-a great superfine powder that keeps you dry.

I think I got all 3 injuries in my first 26 miles...I think it had more to do with the fact that I'm a severe supinator, but I didn't know that was a problem at first. I ran through the pain, and I wasn't taking rest days

10 mile runs here so I guess I'm burning over 1000 calories per run. I love running its so relaxing.

My advice is to wear soft light clothing. I used to run around London in a suit of armour. I know it sounds a bit silly but when you are new to it, you just go with what you have around the house. Anyway thanks to the running channel I now have a pair of "trainers" some shorts and a "t shirt". I sound less noisy on long runs and I feel great. 👍
