My physician just recommended this to me (thyroid or anemia). What is the benefit, or what can they do for you? :huh "Sorry, you got a problem and gotta man up and do stuff that sucks even though it sucks worse for you than everybody else." I always figured I just have less energy than most people so working out sucks but can still be done.
Varies greatly. Been as high as 3000+ when training at 185, low as only eating every other day when I weighed 150. Realistically, I could probably eat 4000 calories a day every day and feel no remorse whatsoever because eating is great. Water, depends. Used to do the 1oz/lb thing when training, when not training I drink no water, just iced tea, coffee, and orange juice. In summer I usually pound water because feelsgoodman. Tend to neglect it otherwise. I think my issue is ADD, just no motivation whatsoever sometimes. When training I get worn out but eat and drink a lot more. When not training I'm exhausted all day and sleep way more regardless of how much I eat or drink. Discipline is the answer for me, just wondering what they do if you do have a thyroid condition or something. Wouldn't go that route myself since I can get results other ways.
If you have anemia that would definitely kill your energy and motivation. If you work out too hard too often you're going to have a poor T:C ratio and you're going to have ADD-like issues as well.
if your thyroid is low then your metabolism will be slow and you will tire quickly, not lose weight, feel depressed etc.
Get a group of reliable people that don't like you a lot. have them meet you on a daily basis at a set stretch of road. they bring clubs , no fire arms, let them chase you and beat the **** out of you if they catch you. have it be a relay situation. 5 to six times a week. you will run fast and the thought of the pain of running won't even enter your mind. stick to the above routine and you will be in great aerobic shape in a month or two. It is a different version on the HIT routines.
This. If you can't find people that want to kick the **** out of you, 3 rottweilers chasing you down should do the trick.
Or get one of those things ive got, that produces 35% more lactic than overground running. No chance of hurting yourself :rofl. :good.

Hi, can anyone give me some good tips for building stamina (i'm a total begginer). I'm using treadmills at the gym rather than road running, and if you put me on 12-13kph i can run as long as you'd like me too, and it doesnt really do much for me. I'm looking to build stamina / lung capacity / CV fitness rather than calorie burning for weight loss. i've been put on a program at 7.3mph upping the gradient by 0.5 every 20 seconds and hit the brick wall at about 7 minutes, usually remaining on gradient 9.5 for as long as i can. I'm a non smoker, 5'6", 9 1/2 stone, good stregnth fitness, well hydrated with good blood pressure. However i'm getting puffed out climbing stairs, and the rowing machine seems like torture, my CV fitness is appalling. Is this a good way to build stamina, or should i change my training ragieme? I want running to be mostly to improve CV fitness, i dont want to loose too much weight. My running forms part of my overall gym program which mostly consists of resistance machines. What benefits will building my legs on machines offer (which again is the bain of my life as they are like twigs)?
