I'm debating where to try this intense running thing. I need some flat land, but believe it or not, I can't go anywhere without running up or down hill, even though I'm Dutch. :p

Mmmm.. pizza.




Nah, I'm kidding man, I'm not really trying to lose weight, but shaping up, so no fat food for me either. Good luck man, you can do it. :D
:lol2:

You know believe it or not, I'm not fat cause I eat a lot but because I gave up on working out when I got my heart broken (wow that sounds really corny.

Good luck :tup:

I dont get it. But just in case... :lol:
Netherlands are known to be ultra-flat, as most of it is under sea level. I just happen to live about as far South-East you can go without leaving the country, where there's hills all over the place. :D

Meh, screw corny, it's good that you're picking it up again. Same situation health-wise then. Not fat, just getting back into the whole fitness thing, get some results before the summer. It's all good man, as I said, good luck.

Try finding a track (at a local high school or something).

Dude.

I'm not familiar with training for fat loss at all, but I think sprint training is an option to consider. If the running isn't too hard on your joints. I don't know about Dusan's workout though, I think you're supposed to simply run as hard as you can. Whether the fourth or fifth stride would still be a true sprint is something else.

I like sprint training 'cause jogging is boring as hell. I got no problems with joint problems, I play like every sport out there :D My old roommate and I used to sprint every night back at Uni, kept me in shape and my metabolism was really high :tup:

What's your opinion on diet by the way? I eat healthy, but I eat A LOT. Of course I work out a lot too, but still. Any plans on changing what you eat or eating less (which for me would be impossible I admit)?

Eating whatever wasn't a problem for me but is now. When you stop working out everything starts piling up. So I gotta curb the eating and what I eat until I lose the weight. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do but it'll have to be food with less carbs, less sodium, eat a lot of salad, etc.

What I meant to ask you guys, since some of you been working out for ages. After a good work-out, what are you supposed to eat? Do you wait before you eat?

--

About the eating healthy: I used to eat a lot, at all times of day. I never really got fat though, I'm about 1.96m tall and weigh 83kg. Now my breakfast consists of some healthy cereal and some fruit and then I have 2 more meals ( can be a lot of things.. but no fattening stuff ), one early afternoon and dinner. I don't touch anything after dinner or in between. Doing this alone and going from not working out to working out about 3 / 4 times a week and a run in the weekend should be plenty of change to shape up.

Not only going for stamina here by the way.

Wow, that is really tough. For me at least.

I prefer short and intense cardio if anything. But I have a different goal after all. Still, I don't really like running (I'm not going to say that I hate it). I was running for like 1-2 months and I must say that I didn't really like it.

But when someone does that, I bow.
Yes, it helps for the distances I run. Maybe just for cardio purposes the shorter intervals are more useful.

Nice Jack. :tup:

If you don't mind me asking; How long ago did you start running regularly? How regularly, average a week?
I started regular running training in October. I started with around 15 km per week divided on three occasions and I started increasing that. Nowadays when I am in good shape and am allowed to do a complete week, I run three times covering a distance of 30 - 40 km and one HIIT. I also do a lot of core and upper body gym sessions.

I haven't gone full sprinton a tredmill before. Do they go real fast to match a sprinting speed?
Of course you can, I have seen people run at a pace faster than 3 min/km on a treadmill.

I do this:
20 mins on the mill at ~7min/km
10 mins on the cross trainer
10 mins on the bike

I do it on alternative days, doing weight training on the other days. Is it enough?
