How do body respond when jogging?

Also, another thing: the cure to being underweight is NOT gorging on junk food.To those who don't know what I'm talking about, the TS told the people in Club...

i think if your warmup is refering to stretching then i guess it doesnt matter.

but i think its better to start jogging slower then slowly build up the speed to get your muscles warmed up.

i also always kena calf ache but i think its cuz of the way i run, using my feet to push myself forward O:

Yea stretching. I dont stretch my calves.

And i used my toes to push myself forward.

It could be my running technique that is wrong.

kopiosatu SG

ayiah, just get past that "aching" part of the jog and your body will warm up.

u go BMT then u let me see your SGT will let u stop even though u think u are aching.

then u tell me if u got improve or not

in just 100m? rubbish.

u go run 10km then u feel an ache that shouldn't be there, then that's probably running technique wrong.

i suggest you overcome the initial 100m ache and push on

So your advice is just keep jogging and i'll gradually improve?

Does not warming up contribute to this problem? =X

I did not do warm up this morning before jogging.

Im not sure if i can jog that long. But what i did today was jog 1.5min walk 1.5min for 6 cycles.

warmup is needed else u will get injuries..dont not sure not sure..do it..can one..i was oversized last time and i did only 4 km in 1 hour..but its all bout determination and endurance de...body can only do so much but ur mind can do even much more...as long as u dont start seeing blackspots or chest pain while running, its fine.. 1 hour cuz first 30 mins burns ur food and energy and next 30 mins burns ur fats..and this 1 hour jogging is to build up ur legs muscles and burn fats, ur heart should not be beating vigorously..cardio got their own sets of training but for now u just do this first..there are tendancy u tempted to walk, but don't..it wont help one..and rmb to keep hydrated thru out..and also if u wanna tone up, best time is do statics immediately after jogging

An ache after 100m is very normal. All it means is that your muscles are just starting to get warmed up. After all, like you yourself said, you haven't been running in a long, long time.

Think of a car that has just gotten its ignition switched on - it will splutter loudly at first before it can function properly, right? And if you haven't used it in a long time, it will splutter more, right? The same analogy applies.

Push yourself slowly and steadily and do not do too much all at one go. The rule of thumb is that you should escalate by no more than 10% of your previous maximum distance per week. In short, if your previous max running distance was 2 km last week, you should run 2.2 km this week.

THEN?

no one improves by stopping just because they feel tired or aching during the initial stages

completing 2.4km in 18mins means your stamina is terrible in the first place.

the only time i see anyone complete 2.4km in 18-20mins is a really fat dude who doesn't bother to exercise.

the problem i see is that you don't push yourself.

your tolerance to aches is super low, u think you're aching and can't go on.

even if u jog with your friends last time, its more likely a super slow and playful jog

Ok. Thanks so much for the advice. I will work on it on wed.

Ok. Thanks for the help. I'll keep that in mind.

I get what you mean. But i did not stop jogging. I was saying im jogging at a slower pace. The 1.5min jog/walk is a method i tried today thats all. My main question in this thread is about the calves ache. Whether its normal or not. Some say they dont feel it. Im confused.

kopiosatu SG

some complete 2.4km in 8mins

some can run marathon.

everyone feels that ache eventually. some 1km later, some 2km later. but because they jog so often, they know its normal and they just keep going.

just trudging on at crawling pace doesn't make u improve

going faster will make you improve

urmm... how heavy are u?

i am trying to slim down.. and is in the progress to slim down.. and i realised that if u are heavy there is a big difference... my first guess was that ur calf too weak or u too heavy..

if u are not those obesed type, then did u warm up? warm up is such a impt thing that almost everyone do not do in public... they might think it is uncool, troublesome, or dun feel like it.. but warm up is extremely impt, trust me...

if u did warm up.. did ur warm up include stretching?

if not.. u are really too weak, no offense but pls build up on urself...

during my progress to slim down, of like about 95kg, i can run 4km in half an hour... and it is quite easy... now tho still slimming down, like about 87kg i can run 4km in 18mins.. and i think it is just ur fitness, if not u are too heavy.. u see, 7kg difference can make such a big timing difference in long run... and dun try HIIT training for goodness sake, ppl do that kind of training because jogging is nothing to them anymore... and 4km is very little btw... try to target ur self with 4km in 30 mins first.. later aim for 5 km in 35 mins, then next try to run 10 km with no time limit, then finally try 14km... after all that then try harder type of training..

anyway... for any jogging or timing or what.. i dun care if u run faster if u stop halfway and run again.. the golden rule for jogging is to NOT STOP no matter ur pace.. even if u are jogging at a pace that is just slightly faster than walking, but u dun stop thats good..

ItchyArmpit SG

btw jog with ur whole body moving... dun jog with ur feet only... if u dun get what i am talking about.. just keep jogging and eventually u will find ur answer..

Im 60kg and have gained 8kg since my last weighting. Was around 48kg when im in sec sch. Overweight only when i was baby. Underweight all the way after that.

Just finished jogging. Tried 1.2km and took a timing of 7mins. I stopped in the middle because a car suddenly drove out of the carpark. I walked abit but im trying my best to walk lesser and lesser. I wanna try not to walk on fri. My calves dont ache that much until when im ard 1km. But there is a itch feeling between my heel and my toes.

The past few jogging session i did not stretch much. I stretch more today and did a briskwalk from my house to the place i jog which is approx 3mins walk. I got tired only when im halfway through my running route.

And yes, i think my calves are not strong enough. Have been doing calves rises since yesterday.

Like what you told me and several others, you gorged on fast food to gain weight. In short, that 8 kg is mainly 8 kg of FAT.

Now, in order to get fitter, you must work harder than if you had not gained all that excess fat. Congratulations for having such a brilliant diet plan.

try swimming to rid of the fats.
