Always fancied myself as fast but running with boots on really thru me off and I tried to do what I expected and lost my gate from trying too hard. Lesson learned. Thank you for your service. Out of curiosity, the next time that you had to run your ass off in boots did you start out at a slow pace and pick up speed as you went on or start at a medium pace and just hold steady? Which approach did you find works better to not run out of gas? The old man is a triathlete (11 time Ironnan, fck that, btw), but I rarely ask him for endurance advice because it's usually something so off-the-wall I would never do it. He's so incredibly fit he can actually regulate his own heartbeat. I'm an avid hiker and snowshoer, and I pepper in a jog here and there. He did teach me how to sprint properly, but the rest is for crap as far as I'm concerned, haha. I'm very "fit" actually, sit ups and all that malarkey; but the hiking is to train for snowshoeing and the snowshoeing is to train for hiking and I don't really see it as exercise because I love being in the woods so it's easy to ignore the exertion. If I had to formally train for anything that required extreme discipline I would go full fat slob in a New York Minute. As an aside, I think that's why people who try to get healthy when they live a sedentary lifestyle often fail because they shoot too high and then they're faced with maintaining something that is impossible to maintain. I'm not saying that you should shoot low, just set realistic parameters. I don't know, I guess in some ways it's all relative because some people might consider what I do extreme (((shrugs))). Oh, and fck the Giants. 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
