Thread: Help With Training Technique

You lift five times a week and run two miles every other day??? Sounds to me like you're doing too much. You're lackluster feeling is a pretty good sign of overtraining. Try backing off on either the weights or the cardio for a while and see if you start feeling more peppy.

start smoking ciagarettes.

play racket ball...that's some fun cardio, unlike running....you get to hit people in theyr butt with tiny balls.work on your abs 2 times a week...or once a week on legs day.

keep it in the sexual health forum plz.

i play squash (racketball in usa????) and its a very good cardio exercise, its fun and you dont notice how much youve done coz its not boring like running can be. in the summer i run up hills and it makes a HUGE impact on my stamina. try a 6-7 mile run up with inclines and you'll come on quickly, if at first you cant run up the steep bits, no problem - walk it!

Im looking for endurance and stamina....being able to explode for a reasonable amount of time before becoming tired. What can I do to help with this. Would plyos help....I'm a very good competitor and i think sometimes that's the only thing that keeps me in the games.

If you are training for football, why are you running 2miles a day? You can increase your enduance effectively by working on sprints.
