Every day cardio

[shortstuff]

From what I know, they train so often and for suchj a long period of time, the amount of c alories they burn during exercise is phenomenal, so the amount the can consume is 4 times what that of someone burns say running 3 miles or 5 miles when they are running at a higher intensity, for a longer period of time, sometimes up to 15-20 miles a day.

Shortstuff, thanx.. but who are you meaning when you say "they"? the Bbuidlers or marathon runners?

 

[shortstuff]

When my girl friend who runs marathons trains, as well as a professor of mine, they run 5-6 days a week for 10 and plus miles and appx.7 miles an hour, nothing slower. So when you run those many miles and that intensity, and you have a good amount of LBM, your body becomes very efficient.

Thats where I think I want to aim, but everyone is telling me otherwise. And marathon runners have much more longer lean lines than Body builders. Body builders are more defined than long.

I would choose longer leaner lines rather than defined and muscular for myself.

Is there anyone on here that is aiming toward that goal at all?

 

[shortstuff]

well good luck then kim, you should be abl;e to find some answers It is good to hear your goals

 

[Kimbro11]

Thanx, I hope there is someone else out there who shares them! I cant seem to find anyone who isnt a hardcore body builder!

Hey Kim, I'm not a hardcore bb and actually want to run a marathon someday. I do tons of cardio! Thoush, I do enjoy lifting weights.

I've been running for about 2 months now. I run twice a week, 7k/4miles...takes around 30min. The reason I'm running is, that I'm going in for a police officer and you have to be able to run 5 kilometers/ 3+miles in College. Cardio is important to the police training so I have to be able to do this.

I'm not crazy about cardio, but it is nice to be able to have strength in this form as well as lifting.

I make sure my cal and protien are up.
