Any 10k runners wanna share their training schedule with me?

I want to start trying 10k's, I've done many 5k's before

I'm able to run everyday until high school resumes

I did my usual sit ups, jumped up to 75 sit ups now. Was at 60. Did some more scissor kicks and did a ton of heel touches lol. Plan to work out my upper body tomorrow.

I posted in the advice thread but I'll repost it here incase you don't see it

I would alternate training days, some days do long runs, some days do shorter but more intense runs. Increase in distance when you feel it getting easier, and be sure to stretch a lot. I'd also suggest pilates/yoga.. for some reason when I started pilates I improved a lot at xc.. good luck! oh ps nutrution is important as well! lots of carbs before running

When we were in highschool we did pilates/yoga every day, and either a long distance run (~12-15km), a medium but intense run (~4-8km), or sprints, where we sprint for ~100m, then jog slowly/walk for a bit, then 100m sprint. We also did some hill training some days, sprinting up a hill then walking back down and doing it again (was very fun... lots of pukey people on these days)

Let's talk about how I'm now on a mandatory deloading phase because I sprained my wrist.

On my way to the doc to see what's good.

Thank you

Did you stretch before runs? I read online somewhere that stretching before actually makes your muscles weaker for the run, but not sure how true that is. I stretch before and after a run at the moment

Bullshit. It is essential.

[Jakerz]

Honestly I never really stretched before running, I did a very intense warm up though. I was always sweating after my warm-up, then sometimes I'd do SUPER light stretching.. but for the most part I always did my intense stretching after the run. Though I don't know the scientific answer whether you should or shouldn't, for me it was personal preference, I tried both and picked the one that made me more comfortable.

I have been battling myself today about taking a test booster.
Not gonna do it until I'm at least 21 because of endocrine development, if ever.

Anyway, still no lifting because of injury, but I'm dying to work out.

just hit the gym and follow my heart

[sprockets]

So I worked out everyday for a while, but then

I started my period, and had only pads (since having kids I really hate using tampons) and I felt like using pads while working out is just disgusting.. like.. yeah.. women get it. and i also had INSANE cramps..

so for that five days I was unable to work out, does anyone have any suggestions? Regarding the cramping.

My grandmother always told me that ginger tea is supposed to help with cramps. I've never been able to test it though cause I'm a guy and thus don't get those cramps.

Potassium, AKA bananas.
I'm sure you knew that though

You all better be lifting and just forgetting to post.

Still out on injury

[Juturna]

Ok. I need advice again. Last month I managed to crack my kneecap (but in a good way, the doctor said, since I didn't need surgery to correct it or anything) as well as breaking my pinkie. ;-; I can run now with no pain, (it was the 23rd of July, so about 3 weeks, and I recovered fast from my last leg injury too) but I'm not supposed to and I don't exactly want to break anything again, or do something to it. I am allowed to walk as much as I'd like, but does anybody have any advice for helping with my weight loss since I can't do my main form of exercise (running)? Preferably something without equipment, as I don't possess any. Any advice?

Eat 500 calories below your maintenance levels every day. You'll start burning off fat.
Also, do tons of pushups, planks, and body weight exercises.

Have you tried midol it works for me. Also after getting into a workout routine I noticed I had less cramping when I'm on the rag. My issue is that I sweat a lot more than usual because it raises my body temperature. Its not a good feeling.

Hmm I'll have to try it, I do love tea.
Thanks

It works best if you steep the teabag in your vagina.

Wrist is progressing, still 1-2 weeks off. Fuuu. Thanks though.

If you're going to cycle, do a prohormone first or a DS like H-Bol. Easier for a first cycle and it's oral so you don't need to pin. You still may need SERMs for PCT though. You're not supposed to cycle until your diet is on point though.
