While that is technically true, humans are known to be among the best mammals in long-distance running.

Weâre literally the best at distance running. We historically ran down animals over extremely long distances until they collapsed from exhaustion!

In retrospect itâs not surprising.

So why give advice when youâre ignorant?
You are also slow.
Thank you. I will consider both perspectives. I have found it more comfortable to use longer strides, but my height makes it basically a necessity.
Damn fuck, shufflemania really got me. I should have trained for distance running as well as sprinting. âHybrid athleteâ and all lmfao
Are you dumb? He isnât going to be running that fast. He isnât even going to compete. He wants to know how to run a couple of miles without getting hurt. When you give advice, first listen to what the personâs goals are.
And no, his marathon pace is not faster than my sprint.
Itâs not a perspective, they are flatly wrong. Go call a running coach or talk to anyone who has won a race of any kind, not just got a participation medal
Lmfao whatâs your sprint? You sound like a classic guy who couldnât run sub-15 if your life depended on it
Let me just say I donât believe any âgoodâ time you have because a good time would imply long stride which you claim not to have. You literally just canât run fast if your stride length isnât near 2 meters. Itâs just not mechanically possible. Literally every paper on google scholar written on this ever will support me
Youâre one of those young guys who comes to this forum thinking he knows everything when you have posters here who have been doing things for longer than youâve been alive.
See why youâre a dummy? He wants to run a couple of miles to get into shape, not sprint, not run a sub 4, 5 or even 6 minute mile. Certainly not a marathon.
Again dummy, he isnât trying to run fast.
God I was fucking right, lmfaoooo, absolutely fucking cooked.
Why not just stop making excuses for being trash and try to actually do the thing.
Everyone wants to run fast, and he wonât accidentally become an Olympian. We arenât encouraging people here that 135 is enough for bench are we? So why is a fucking shuffle the goal? What died inside you and took your dreams with it?
Did he say that?
And if you look at Kipchoge, watch how his front foot lands. His shin is pretty much perpendicular to the ground and he lands on his midfoot. Why? Because he is limiting stride length, or more accurately, how far he reaches with his front foot. If he lengthened his stride more, he would land on his heel and, his shin would be at an angle to the ground. This would reduce the amount of shock absorption. Stride length is achieved by pushing off the rear foot.
Did you just make that up?
Sure, everyone would like to be the fastest. I suppose I am just approaching this thread from the wrong angle.
Usually when cardio is mentioned on this forum it is either for cardiovascular health or improving body composition. This is the first thread here that I have been involved where race times are mentioned. It is a bit interesting but I donât see what it has to do with the price of apples in China.
I elected to utilize low impact, low intensity cardio to improve body composition. I believe that running of any kind is a less effective method of improving body composition. This is what I recommend when involved in a cardio conversation.
If people like to run. That is their choice, but I will still mention that it is less effective for achieving optimal body composition.
It is good that you are a gifted sprinter. It is my opinion that excellent sprinters have great potential for tremendous strength due to their high percentage of fast twitch muscles. Have you tapped into any of that potential? I knew a high school 400 meter sprinter who reached a squat over 900lbs in a powerlifting meet.
No, you arenât. I get you donât like the idea of running, but if one insists on it, you would give them the best advice to avoid injury and safely run what is really a short distance relative to marathoners as well as at a much slower pace.
Exactly.
The thing is, running with proper form is running efficiently, which uses less energy so you need to run longer distances to burn a decent amount of calories.
I donât think his times reflect being gifted. A 23 second 200m isnât competitive for women. The fastest HS boys time is under 20 seconds.
23 isnât my PR lmao, itâs my all time worst.
It might be my OCD talking but Iâm proud of my competition times and using them as ammo against some loser feels wrong somehow.
Fwiw you also have no idea about 200 times. 20 flat for a man would have got you 5th place at the Paris Olympics in the 200m finals.
As always, Iâll implore you to stop talking. Iâve never once seen you contribute to anything and I would be thrilled if you took today to delete your account and take up another hobby. Iâm going to sleep, well done on polluting yet another thread with an artful balance between the wrong and the wrong-er
Go look up the boys HS record. Then look at the girls.
You sound like a baby. Do you cry slowly as well?
Longer strides are fine, as long as your front foot lands midfoot. The caveat is that longer strides are obviously faster than shorter ones. Meaning, the less fit you are, the shorter your run will be because you canât maintain that pace.

Allyson Felix has held the 200 meter high school record since 2003 (22.52 seconds)
And for women, a 23 second 200 wonât get you near the podium.
At those speeds, trailing by a half a second barely looks like you are in the race to win.
