Any controversial/unpopular opinion that you may have in regards to running My hot take is that Adidas shoes > Nike
minus-squareCatchaRainbow@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoThe first 10 minutes is lying to you.
minus-squarepowderjunkie11@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoInteresting, I find the first 10 minutes to be the worst…or is that what you mean?
minus-squarewlievens@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoWhen the first 10 minutes are terribly, they are lying. When the first 10 minutes tell you it’s super easy today, they are also lying.
minus-squareCatchaRainbow@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoExactly what I mean, powerjunkie. It’s actually the first 20 minutes for me now, as I’m 66 yoa.
minus-squareEMHemingway1899@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoI’m 66 also and it definitely takes me a mile or two to warm up
minus-squareWormvortex@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoTook me almost 6K into my 12K run yesterday to actually feel good. After that point I felt great.
minus-squareIndependentHeight685@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoI remember an old long distance runner telling me she never knows if a run will be good or not till she hits 8km.
minus-squareNatasEvoli@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoI ran my first half marathon this year and mile 12 was my fastest mile. Started feeling pretty good at mile 8 and it kept improving from there. Not sure why the body works like that.
minus-squareSedixodap@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoThe fitter I get, the longer into my run it takes for me to start feeling okay. It’s like a punishment for being able to run farther.
minus-squareroblespierre@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoI feel the same way. Why does it seem to happen with most people?
minus-squareCatchaRainbow@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoI don’t know, but I would place abet on endorphin release, Aah that lovely natural painkiller.
minus-squaredmb1118@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoIf only I could make it 10 minutes lmao
minus-squareWannabeDogMom@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoI repeat “first mile worst mile” as a mantra the entire first mile no matter how long the run
minus-squareBottleCoffee@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoI actually find the first 2km to be really great, then it gets sucky for a bit until you forget to feel sucky.
minus-squareClipperSmith@alien.topBlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoSome days, I feel like it takes 10k just to feel like I’m even running properly.
The first 10 minutes is lying to you.
