yeah i haven't been running long for about two-three month's been getting into fitness... i just ran a 9 minute mile pretty proud of myself


i usually lift at the gym four days a week and usually run twice a week.. i have been getting bigger can already notice it.. been going to the gym and running since around the first of september

my weight hasn't changed much though 6 feet-195 lbs starting to get my abs back.. i assume where i am gaining muscle is why i haven't lost any weight u guys have any idea why i might not have lost weight ?

i also have been taking creatine so that might be why my weight has stayed the same after the running and lifting.. i havent went up or down.. i have stayed at 195 lbs but i can tell ive gained muscle

Great progress, keep it up!

Good job bro now work towards an 8 minute mile!

Thanks

Also thanks. And yeah that's the plan I just hope to lose at least 5lbs or so for my time doing all this running

doing lots of hills sprints helped my mile a ton. sprint up, jog down slowly. it's so taxing that any regular running after that seems easy

Do you track what you eat to see you know how many calories you eat in a day?

Great stuff man! The key to getting a faster mile time is to run more. If you run about 3-5 miles per week now try increasing this to 7-10 miles per week slowly over time.

You will drop your mile time SIGNIFICANTLY and feel great! Best of luck mate and congrats on the 9 minute mile.

alright they are definitely a lot of hills around here lol

i don't exactly track what i eat no.. i try my best to eat healthy though but as far as counting all my calories in a day i don't

usually eggs-banana for breakfast sometimes a piece of sausage to go with it.. fish for lunch or a salad with some grilled chicken... dinner is usually a steak or some pork chops.. or baked chicken breasts with some cooked carrot's and green beans

snack's is more like apple's oranges peanut's bananas spinach-greek yogurt and sometimes ill cut a tomato up and eat it

thanks buddy and yeah i plan to try and increase my time been taking this health thing pretty serious here lately

how long have you been lifting, could it be newbie gains? at least you can say you've lost body fat.

props to you, i could never commit to running. 9 minutes isn't bad at all.

i could do it in 7, would probably struggle to do it in 8.30 now
