let's talk running

i recently started and got up to 5k every other day. i still have to slow to a walk for a few minutes in the middle to catch my breath.

is it good to run every day? lately i have been doing every other day and trying to increase the distance a little each time.

so /fit/, talk to me about running.

i also dropped 5kg with running and cutting dairy out of my diet. another 5kg will drop me to my ideal weight!

I can't think of anything wrong with running every day. My logic is that our buddies were built to run, stalk game, hunt, etc.

I'm sure there's a good chance of getting your joints or bones fucked but oh well... in 2010 it helped me cut massive amounts of weight-- i never looked more toned -- and now I've gotten back into it and again its been melting away my fat, in conjunction with an improving diet (more fresh fruit/vegetables, no caffeine, less dairy, aiming at much less alcohol, lol...)

Running is good. If you're weightlifting, it's bad since it will kill off your gains, but if for general fitness/weight loss, it's excellent.

can you elaborate?
i am really getting into running, but i also just signed up for a weightlifting class at the community college because i'm scrawny and know nothing about lifting.

and what do you guys like to eat before a run?
i've been doing 2 boiled eggs with some carrot/apple/pear juice. i want to switch it up tho so i'm not eating eggs every day.

woman. why? does it make a difference?

it seems like every every day is fine if i just want to kind of maintain the same distance, but it seems like if i go every other day then i can push myself a bit more and increase my distance a bit. i would like to get up to ~8k and then just stay at that distance for a while. since i started about 6 weeks ago i have increased from 1k to 5k!

You shouldn't really run everyday, especially not if you're running on a hard surface (i.e; a footpath).
It is really bad for your joints, particularly your knees. Even with stretching and a good diet, it's not wise to run long distances everyday it's too much of a strain on your body. You should rest at least every second day.

That's what hills are for, run up, walk down. If you're smart you'll take the long route up and the short one down.

i have heard contrary opinions on the joint issue.
i have heard that running helps strengthen joints and i have heard that running damages joints.
is this dependent on where you are running (up and sown hills, on a treadmill, on the beach, etc.)?
i don't personally notice any joint pain from running, but i'm not overweight, don't run on concrete, and don't run incredible amounts.

The main issue of stress on joints comes from people who run exclusively on hard surfaces. You should always run on grass when possible.
