Ive been jogging on and off for 2 years now. My endurance is half decent. My knee usually gives out before my lungs do, around the 4-5 mile mark.

Im afraid the only thing to do is be consistant and build up a tolerance to the sprints.

One thing i found usefull was to run really late at night/early morning. The air is more dense and makes it much much easier (old drag racing trick ). Keeps the body guessing. Switching back and forth between that and afternoons has helped.

Try Guerilla Cardio



if you're suicidal.

Anyway, I'd agree with upping the intensity. Sure you can jog, but can you sprint? Unlike what a lot of people think, these are very different exercises. Try jogging 100m fast, then 100m run, then 100m hard run, and then a 100m sprint (upping intensity per 1/2 workout(s)).

Did you even read the first post? I have been sprinting.

I have, but I doubt you'll see much gains if you get a seizure every workout. Ergo, build up resistance without working yourself into a coma and gradually progress.

I almost puke during every leg workout. Don't fret.

thats what i got finished doing... and then i tryed walking home in the hot heat... big big mistake i had to rest for 10 mins on a curb and i puked.

Ive left my breakfast on the garage floor a few times.

Ive puked a few times during a workout i think it is just if you push it too hard

funny thread timing....my workout partner puked this morning...he ate a big, greasy breakfast and then had to chase his dog outside cuz it ran off....totally ralf'd in the middle of the street..LOL.

I myself have gotten naseaus (sp?) a FEW times working out legs...never actually puked before though....


It would be interesting to see what some of the experts have to say on the subject...like REALLY specific reasons a person might get sick and what to do when working out??

Why are you sprinting in the first place? Are you trying to increase your running speed over a 5k distance or something like that?

Also, an 800 meter warm up may simply not be enough for your body - that's only about 5 minutes max. Try warming up for a good 10-20 minutes before attempting a max effort like 100m sprinting.

The biggest factor in increasing your ability to handle extreme loads like sprinting is by first boosting your endurance. If you frequently run long distances for 30 minutes or more and gradually increase your speeds the more you do it, it will greatly increase your sprinting abilities.

When I was in technical training school for the air force I ran 1.5 miles 2 days on 1 day off for the entire time, trying to get my time down for the eval but my improvements were minimal because I never did any distance running. Currently I'm running 7.5 miles in 50 minutes and my 1.5 mile run is down into the 8 minute range. The distance runs basically conditioned my body to be a running machine, which benefited my shorter distance power runs immensly.

With all of that said, you're puking because your body can't handle what you're doing to it, you haven't properly trained yourself for it. I see so many guys in our eval runs puke, and they're the ones I never see running in their free time.

Thanks for the tips.

Concensus is sprinting is the most effective form of cardio, at least from what ive read everywhere. Is it not?

Depends if you're trying to improve cardio in terms of heart health or if you're trying to improve cardio so that you can go over threshold with a higher power output for exercise performance. If you're constantly driving your heart rate to 95% of its maximum over and over again for short bursts you may not get the results you're looking for.

I'm apparently a "grandpa" here at 45 years. Waking up makes me cought, vomit, sneeze and see stars. I split my workout to twice a day. After waking and taking a crap - then going to the bathroom, reading the paper with a half pot of coffee... I do some low rep stuff before work. After shoveling sixteen tons of cold, dog tired, I actually feel like working out when I get home.

I think it's about your body "cleaning out" daily toxens before it's ready to do some hard work. There might be some hormonal responses there also?
