Swim: Now I can say I have swum 7 miles straight... averaged about 5-6 miles a night will at practice in high school/college (Usually not straight but broken into sets/intervals).
Walk: I think 12 miles or so... I've done some 24-26 mile 2-3 day backpacking trips.
Bike: I've done 100 miles on the TOSRV.
I forget, is that a sprint triathlon or Olympic distance? Or something else.Sonofanump;991386 wrote:I ran 6.2 miles after a mile swim followed by a 24 mile bike ride. I hate running more than a 10K.
Yes.Fly4Fun;991449 wrote:Olympic distance?
Really. I hate running on a treadmill, would much rather run outside. I think it is safer and I get more out of it. I do both since I hate running even more when it get below 40 wind chill.Laley23;991404 wrote:...and its on a treadmill since its winter...so its a lot easier.
I would much rather run outside. But I think its tougher, which is good. Treadmill has no terrain issues, no wind, no climate or weather issues, etc. Makes it easier. It isnt good for the joints, but overall easier imo.Sonofanump;991462 wrote:Really. I hate running on a treadmill, would much rather run outside. I think it is safer and I get more out of it.

I would imagine a treadmill is better for joints than pavement and concrete is.Laley23;991463 wrote:I would much rather run outside. But I think its tougher, which is good.

Agreed. Actual running/jogging is my least favorite form of exercise.OSH;991468 wrote:If we are going for "joint health," then running should be abandoned all together. Walking is much better. Swimming is good too. Biking is good too.

But, I do agree that outside is much better than on a treadmill. I am having some knee issues, so my running has went downhill big time. I'd like to get back into it -- somewhat. I hate running, but I need to get more active.
I think I have a torn meniscus. I saw some athletic trainers about it when I first hurt it (summer 2009). If I can deal with the pain, then I will be able to hold out on surgery. I've dealt with my right knee for several years, probably comes from all the crap I've put it through while playing sports for so many years.like_that;991490 wrote:What kind of knee issues?
I dont run on concrete and pavement though. Usually go to a track which has that bouncy shit lol. Also the park near my parents house is soft gravel/something. Made specifically for runners. Not sure where I will go when the weather turns around here, just moved. Probably have to find a park.OSH;991468 wrote:I would imagine a treadmill is better for joints than pavement and concrete is.

My stride is different on a treadmill and it feels harder on my knees than running outside.OSH;991468 wrote:I would imagine a treadmill is better for joints than pavement and concrete is.
Very well possible on a treadmill you need to raise the incline one or two levels. Never ever ever run on cement.FatHobbit;991553 wrote:My stride is different on a treadmill and it feels harder on my knees than running outside.
