Dumbasses arguing about running.

[CFH]

and in fact you will usually run a distances quicker easier on the roads rather than the treadmill

run for 40 mins of the treadmill then 40 mins on the roads see the difference

That's not true at all. The treadmill actually propels you forward.

Continue it here, if you have nothing better to do.

Was just looking for this thread and had to search my own posts!

What a piece of shit! All sorts of other threads go off topic but someone actually talks about boxing training and it gets moved! Probably by someone who has never trained let alone fought and maybe they got abit insecure

I've never been 'Runner' I was doing 3 miles in just under 22 mins before xmas, but doubt I could run 3 miles now, since I have put on 2.5 stone

I've always been told that if you don't have the incline on at least 1.5 that the treadmill essentially does a lot of work for you. Even at an incline I will run faster on the treadmill simply b/c it will keep me at a constant rate. My speed varies a lot when I'm doing road work. I can't run more than 4 miles on a treadmill though. I get bored out of my mind.

Yeah, same here, unless there is a tv screen in front with something interesting on and you can actually forget almost what your doing and before you know it youve done 20 or 30 minutes.

I thought the 'joining the army' thread had become somewhat off kilter, but this one takes the biscuit. I have no idea what anyone is rabbiting on about here. So, it's a thread about heavyweights that has turned into something about running? Very obtuse.

I agree with VanChild's that running machines are boring. I prefer to cycle rather than run, but must admit that I do neither these days. My walk is more like a run for a regular person anyway. Rather brisk. I can probably walk several miles in about 10 minutes.

[VictorCharlie]

Several miles in 10 minutes? What are you the flash?...hell I'd be impressed if you can walk 1 mile in 10 minutes.

[generalbulldog]

Not even Usain Bolt can walk a few miles in 10 minutes.

Nah, just kidding around there, I can't quite manage that.

I am an extremely brisk walker though. I have 34 inch legs that don't like to loiter.

Does anyone think it wouldn't be to difficult to achieve 12.5 miles in 3 hours... So about 4 miles every hour??

I saw it on the video I posted about getting into the Australian special forces, and one of their tests was to walk 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) in 3 hours 15 minutes.... They had to do it with a 30 pound or 30 kg pack on, but i'm considering attempting it minus the pack...

Just wondering if you guys have ever actually timed yourself over a mile or two or whatever,,, and what do you think a reasonable time would be if you evened that over 12 miles.. i.e. obviously can't keep the same pace over 12 miles compared to 1 mile. So can't just multiply your 1 mile time by 12..

Doesn't it annoy you having to log back in and out just to vent the other side of the argument?

You want to talk about running or boxing training then there are places for that. However, a thread about the British heavyweight scene is not one of them.

The U.S. Infantry standard is 12 miles with a 45 pound rucksack and rifle in three hours. Last time I did a 12 miler I came in at 2 hours and 50 minutes. There was some jogging mixed in there though. I usually take my guys on a 4-6 mile ruck every Thursday. I use a 50-60 pound rucksack and we walk at a 15 minute/mile or less. I have to really concentrate to walk that fast but if you got a long stride its not that difficult.
