provided you have proper food and slee- hmm...ill rephrase the question can you run all day everyday for as long as you are awake with only minimal sleep ... or if not how long is it before a normal ectomorph and endomorph bodytype will fail?

OMG!   I love to do cardio....  IF I HAD MY WAY, I WOULD DO IT EVERYDAY, but it is not practical for me at this time....  Normally I do it four times a week for at least 45 minutes but I prefer close to an hour... And when I have slacked I like to do about 80 minutes to get me going again...  It has too many benefits to not want to do it though this is extreme it is good for the jump start!  \nMine is usually done on an elliptical or treadmill since I have a history of asthma... But anything is better than not at all....

No.\n\nIt's best to do each body part exactly every 2 or three days.\n\nMost people, at gyms, do Upper body one day and lower body the next.\n\nYour muscles grow stronger, when your body "thinks" that it needs to grow them stronger.\n\nAlways make sure that when you work out you do more than is comfortable.\nIf your body can do ten easily, than you should probably start doing 20.\n\n10 could be a great amount for some people, but if that is the case, you're just going to ruin your muscles.\nYou have to let your body rest so that it can grow the muscles you want to grow.\nYou know that you're doing it right if the next day (or the next two days) it feels wierd when you use it, bbut it doesn't hurt.\nPain the next day means that you over did it.\n\nSo if you can feel it each time you move it the next day, but it doesn't hurt, then continue doing it as you are doing it.

I would recommend interval running.  Start out at a pace you can comfortably maintain for, say, five minutes and then run as hard as you can for one minute, then carry on at your comfortable pace for 5, then beast it again for 1 minute etc etc...aim to do this every other run.  Your 'other' run should concentrate on endurance so run a set distance at a steady pace and watch your times reduce....hope this makes sense...it's hard to explain in type

There is a mulch trail 2 mile loop that surrounds a lake about 20 miles away. 2 miles is short enough I don;t have to carry anything on me. it has hills and even staircases and lots of wildlife. have seen deer, frogs, a fox, and a snake. \n\nI can do a shorter speedier workout, or really settle in for a long run. if I change direction everytime, it keeps it fresh.\n\nThank you for asking a running question, maybe they will add a category for it.

Hey, I hear ya.  Start doing some cadio to uncover the layer of flab; then do crunches for the top of your abs, and leg raises for the lower part of your abdomen.  And keep going on the diet.  The 30 minutes of cardio 3 or 4 times a week are just as important as the crunches and leg raises. ok?  goodluck:)Oh, you can do the cardio and the crunches together.  Just alternate days; that's what I do.:)

First of all great job and god bless you for taking charge of your life to a better you!!! Now my doctor told me that it is recommended by the American Heart Association that we need at lease 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week. So here is what i do i either jog or use  the elliptical machine for 45-60 minutes 3 days a week. Then, 2 days out of the week i get on the elliptical for 30 minutes and then i do strength training for 30 minutes. You see that is just part of my life style. One other part is asking for gods help to get me through this because without him i wouldn't be able to do this. So what ever ever higher power you believe in ask for its help and you will get it. Also as part of my healthier eating style i follow the South Beach book its great! You can order it on-line or buy it at a book store for less than 20$. Well I hope this helped you if you want more support or advice don't be afraid to email my email is jgomez3582@yahoo.com. Take care Lisa! Oh by the way my name is James

Depends on your age, base training, and overall health.  And what are your goals, marathons, body building, or good health?  If you have a specific goal or talent, a coach can surely help you develop that talent.  Myself, I used the gym to tone a little and to warm up to run.\n\nHere's a summation of all I have read about the subject and my experience.  I think the teachings are and have been for a long time that you should weight train no more than every other day.\n\nAbout the running - I ran almost every day for many years.  It is okay to run every day IF you take 1 day a week to rest, and avoid overuse.  Looking back at every illness and injury, I attribute to long periods of running without a day of rest.    Overuse occurs in any form from illness to injury.\n\nI don't think running inhibits your muscle recovery unless you do excessive quad and hamstring in the gym, in which case, you are doubling workouts on your legs that I would discourage.  In fact, running probably speeds up the flusihing out of lactic acid that builds up with weights.\n\nRemember that weight training shortens your muscles and running tends to lengthen your muscles.  \n\nBottom line is this.  eat right, take vitamins, listen to your body, get plenty of rest.  Never forget that a good day of rest is as good as a day of training.  GOOD LUCK.

I answered your question in the actual question.  I think you'll be fine - your body should be able to handle this.  Keep posting your questions!  I always enjoy discussing running on this YA site.

That's a bit odd if you didn't gain one bit of stamina. Maybe you aren't eating right or maybe you need to work out a bit to make your muscles stronger for running. Sometimes, jogging each day a certain distance, and then increasing that distance can help you out.

The answer by “szup” is a good one.\n\nI also found that when I first started with the treadmill it was best for me to walk with a 3 to 5% incline at 3 to 5 on the speed until I was ready to run. You have until April so try that for a week or two then begin the running. You should progress very rapidly given your age so keep pushing yourself. In regards to your cramping, that will occur in all of us if we do not do a proper warm up. What happens without a warm up is that when you begin your workout your muscles will call for oxygen very rapidly but they are not acclimated to receive it efficiently so the say, now way pal, I will stop you right here and now. They usually win. Also, you must have the proper diet to be a good athlete I do not suggest a weight loose diet plan as that will work against your efforts.\n\nSo stretch, warm up usually on mile at an 8 to 10 minute pace. When you get ready to train hard send me an email I have some very good ideas for you to get you up to speed in time for your track team. I train often each summer non competitively but trust me I can compete with the best of them in the 800 meter on down.

Like any other muscle, your heart & lungs can use a break every now and then too.  I'd keep any HEAVY running to a maximum of 5 times a week.  Light jogging can be done daily however.

Well you can get something to mess with your hypothalamus and let you have a bite and feel like you have eaten a whole pig by yourself. But neither this nor sleeping 2 hours a day is very healthy and will cause a lot of problems in the long run. So sleep 8 hours and feel great instead of living on a drug with a little nap everyday.

Hi! I'm a certified personal trainer with 10 years experience. I am wondering if you'd been running prior to this? Did you just decide to take up running then do 2 days in a row? Running is a high impact sport. It is best alternated with lower-impact activiities. Whether you were running before or not, it is better to run every OTHER day and let your muscles get some recovery time. Muscles don't get stronger with exercise, they get stronger AFTER exercise, during the recovery period. Rest is essential to muscle growth and fitness advancement. Doing light workouts on the days between allows more blood flow to the overworked muscles and speeds up recovery time. Taking 1000 IU's of vitamin E has also been shown to reduce muscle soreness by repairing muscle oxidation on a cellular level. Running 3 days per week is excellent for cardio fitness, but every day of the week ABOVE 3, increased your chance of injury by 100%.  I would recommend talking with a trainer who has a certification from ACE, NASM, ACSM or NSCA. Those are the 4 best certifications out there. There are more than 200 others that are just paper. Let them design you a program. Some trainers will even do some muscle tests on you to find out if you have muscle imbalances or problems. The orthodics might be hurting you, not helping. Please seek professional advice. It could save you some serious injury for a very small price.

Begin with an 800 meter jog to get warm...follow this with some streching for about 20 minutes....then do some barefooted sprints in the grass(this will condition muscles in the foot that are not normaly used when wearing shoes)by running 100 meters then walking back...do this at about 7/8 speed and concentrate on your length of stride...about 10 should do....Next go to the bleachers and do 15 minutes of bleacher hops/runs...alternate between hopping and running the bleachers....for a cool down go do some block work....practice perfecting your reaction time in the blocks...work on control, height, and stride....Next finish with a series of run/walk 600s....about 4 should do nicely....it is always best to train slightly above your race distance...cool down by walking long stride a half mile////weight training is a seprate issue and should be done  about 6 hours appart from running workout....last....take a shower...you probably stink

My husband's in the Army.  He has to run in formation.  When he was at Fort Carson, they ran almost 5 miles a day.  Sometimes they would run ladders at the track.  Lots of iron mikes, push ups (knuckles, one handed, clapping, two handed), frog jumps, sit ups, flutter kicks, and squats.  They don't really concentrate too much on muscle mass and a lot of the exercises they do until they have muscle failure.

As a health and phys ed teacher and nutrition nut - I would answer yes. The only thing I would really say is that it shouldn't be the whole day. Try to make it one a meal. You don't want to sabotage a whole weeks worth of great progress. One meal is totally except able. Its even mentioned in a very good book called the ABS Diet. Not eating these foods is to deny yourself. If u have nothing to look forward to in your diet than your setting yourself up for failure.\nModeration is ok - Remember 1 MEAL and that's it.
