running is actually the worst exercise you could do, it tears down your body so badly

odd then, isn't it, that the human body was adapted for running? let's list a few of those adaptations:
Brain: Hippocampus stimulation
running activates 33 genes in the brains center for mood, memory, and learning. also stimulates the formation of new brain cells and blood vessels.
Head: Flat face
humans lack the protruding snout of apes, so our heads are more balanced over our necks while in motion.
Neck: Nuchal ligament
this ligament helps stabilize your head and prevents it from pitching back and forth, a feature found only in mammals built for running, such as dogs.
Respiratory system: Mouth breathing
unlike the panting of many quadrupeds, human mouth breathing permits more airflow with les muscular effort, and helps repel heat.
Skin: sweat glands and less hair
we shed better than hairier mammals
Shoulders: low, broad shoulders
our wide shoulder span increases arm swinging, which counteracts the torque generated by our legs. otherwise our bodies would rotate and we'd be thrown off-balance. your head moves separately from your shoulders and trunk (ever see an ape do that?), so you can look forward as you run.
Ass: larger gluteus maximus muscle
extends the thigh to propel the body, keeps you from pitching over with forward momentum.

we look and function the way we do because our survival once depended on endurance running. when conditions are right, a man can run even the fastest antelope on earth to death by overheating, because we have sweat glands, and they don't. look up the Kalahari, their hunters were found to be doing just that in the early 1900s.

My metabolism is insane, I stay relatively in shape sitting around drinking and eating way too much food, it's kinda nice. What's killing me though is cigarettes... I had "we're horny so fuck it" sex with my ex about three weeks ago and like ten minutes in I was gulping in air like I'd never be able to breathe again... that was my sign, if I can't even fuck because my stamina is so bad, something needs to change. So I'm cutting back to five smokes a day and running... we'll see what happens.

Cross country conditioning just began, and each morning we run about 7 miles, you feel so good for the rest of the day! Unless its like a hardcore run, then you feel all sore and dont want to move at all for the remainder of the day.

got on my run status the other day with this chick i was diggin. I got through the first half fine minus almost throwing up the two plates of lasagna I ate 30min before hand, but after we stopped for 10 min to chill near the water and started up again my thighs knotted up. Felt like I had daggers stabbed in my thighs, everytime i stopped running they got worse. So I ran it out all the way home, felt fine after like a 20 min rest. yesterday and today was some of the worst soar leg muscles i've ever had in my life. The kind where you can't walk right, can't bend down, just miserable shit. but I like looking at her haha and it felt good for the first half so i'll probably be running again tomorrow haha

The indigenous Kalahari Raramuri still run extremely long distances to catch injured prey...it's been said that they can run without stopping for something like 24 hours. So amazing.

well anything in high volume is bad for the body. Running within moderation is great. Just like skiing, wear and wear.
