Running

It makes you feel good, is generally the point of it.

So does wine ...& chocolate ...oh & watching City.

The world's leading anthropologists disagree.

Source?

They'd disagree that we were apex predators for a start. Do you think humans ever went and slept in the open Savannah without a care in the world akin to say Lions? No because unlike actual apex predators we'd have been worried we'd be eaten.

Yeah, they're not incompatible. The more the merrier in this case, literally.

Try Alice Roberts for a start.

We have pretty much the same body structure as homo erectus so we've been hunting down whatever we want for 2 million years, long before modern humans.

I'm sure our ancestors weren't stupid enough to sleep out in the open and unprotected. What apex predator would do such a thing?

Runners look like shit,get in the weights room and then you can wear your T shirts proudly.

Which piece of her work states that we were apex hunters because we hunted when the day was hottest(this argument can't be used as an umbrella argument anyway as we don't and didn't all live in arid enviroments) and not because we(homo sapiens) used our far superior communication skills vs any animal and other species of human too.

Lions do, because they were/are the apex predators of their ecosystems. They don't have to worry about being killed.

It's believed humans used to run prey down, just a war of attrition. The human body has the ability to cross huge distances especially in warmer climates. Some African tribes still hunt antelope this way just run after them until they fall down with heat exhaustion.

If you think humans and our ancestors didn't live and evolve in a hot climate I think you need to read up a bit. Alternatively try Origins of Us (Roberts).

I'm aware we all come from Africa..I was giving you the benefit of the doubt when you said Humans become apex predators and thought you might have been alluding to when humans started spreading out around the world(and in doing so caused a mass extinction) not when we were still fucking apes ffs. Humans were never apex though anyway so pot kettle black on the suggesting to do some reading.

Ok humanoid then. Why would I allude to a load of nonsense?
I referred to homo erectus so there's no confusing that is there?

6 weeks until I have to run 26.2 miles around London...

Stretch mate after, started running a few times a week 12 months ago. Struggled at first with 5k, calves were always sore, got a foam roller and used that on them plus stretched out routinely and no issues whatsoever now. Run approximately 30 miles per week over 3 sessions, doing Wilmslow half this Sunday aiming for 1.45 and then the Manchester full on April 8th which i want to do in 3.45, anything under 4 hours and i'll be happy though.

It's addictive and just love the freedom and seems to really help with any stress. Feel fitter at almost 50 than i did at 30!!

Triathlon next.

How's the training going? Any goals for time? I'm hoping to the find the pacer that gets you round in 3:56 as I've done 2 marathons to date and both times did it in 4:08, so I'm determined to do sub-4 this time around.

I did the Loch Ness marathon a couple of years back. Got to 20 miles thinking "this isn't so bad" then POW, everything from my hips down went into meltdown.

Snowdon Race goes on sale at midnight tonight. I'll be staying up to try and get one of the 400 places.

 

[Manchester1894]

Im mid 30's and cannot run 100m.. play 5 a-side occasionally and I'm dead after 20mins despite my will to run.

Taking up running might be my only option.... is the couch to 5k thing any good?

 

[clarkie_ni]

would love to be able to run a decent long distance, but bores the shite out of me and am not the fittest. funny though the same distance covered during a 11 a side football game and its doable.

Yes it is. A blue I know did that last year, he's caught the running bug now, he's up to 10 milers, and lost a shit load of weight. Win win.

Depending where you live, Park Run is a good way of getting into running, worked for me. Every Sat morning at 9.00am for a 5k, I do the Heaton Park one most Saturdays and then do Worsley, Bolton if I fancy a change or Heaton is cancelled. I’m up to nearly 120 now, every week is timed properly and get your results via text/email. It’s great.
