When was the last time you really ran hard with your EDC?

[MCgrease08]

As a kid I ran everywhere. And I would run between the garage/grandma's house to my house multiple times a day. Life was too damn short to walk!

Kids run everywhere. Kind of reminds me of this.

I have 2 GSD's so I run daily or they get mean and destructive because they are bored. Keeps me down to a fatboy starter kit and not a Dunlop.

I am 69 1/2 years old, 1 arthritic knee, 1 artificial knee.
Running is out of the question for me.
I do walk alot at a quicker pace than just strolling along.
It helps, as my BP is 118/70 and, rother than the knees, I'm in great shape.
I shoot several times a week at my "home built" range to keep competent, but, I will never be 30, or 40, or 50, or even 60 again.
I keep telling myself I wish I knew then, what I know now.
You younger guys enjoy life now, it gets alot harder as you get older.

This is why I Run-n-Gun!

7+ miles in February wearing full kit through the woods in KY. Loved it!

Hop skip and a jump and I’m ready for a nap.

So you've seen me at a Run-n-Gun then you took a nap? LOL

Had a spinal injury at the age of 25. I learned to walk unaided again, but running is gone. I'll draw fire so my wife and kids can escape if it comes to it.

Nice to see gun owners testing their equipment for edc.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

I have arthritis in both knees. If you see me running hard, it's a bad day.

real gangstas can't run fast

Yesterday. Three miles.

Rule #1 of Virusland, er, Zombieland, cardio.

Tonight is burpees and jump rope. Do forms, hit the heavy bag, hit the mook jong. I like to mix it up.

Running in your gear is important. Getting down and rolling around is important too.

 

[blue2golf]

Daily exercise here, elliptical training with some weight lifting but at 50 years old I'm slowing down. Age gets us all.

I generally like the idea of running, but don’t lie to run.

My wife and I run a 5k every spring and fall for the last 3-4 years. Lasts falls time was around 42 minutes and some change. I just ran last week and am down to 33 minutes.

I am actually starting to enjoy running- kind of crazy...

Physiological Fitness (cardiovascular efficiency, strength-to-weight ratio, and overall body size) are all factors when it comes to maintaining adequate physiological fitness.
One does not have to be a professional athlete to be able to move quickly and survive a short-distance physical exertion activity...
but having a small degree of personal fitness goes a long way towards helping one not only adapt to physical exercise,
but be able to function and recover, in the short-term, if moderate physical exertion is required of them!
Sometimes, just getting out and walking a 1/2, a 1/2, etc. and working up to 1-2-3 miles, sometimes twice per day, is a good start.
Rest is also a factor and it's amazing how much better most sleep when they've had a moderate degree of physical exercise during the day.

As a former Certified/Licensed Athletic Trainer, Certified Personal Trainer, and high school biology/health teacher...
there's a lot to the fitness component concept, but getting fitter (and healthier) can be done in 15-30 minutes per day is a good starter.

Component holders...I've gone to all leather, which is a bit heaver, but will definitely help keep everything in place correctly!

All the runners reading this thread should make a last second entry for tomorrow's Revere's Riders biathlon. https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...09-battle-road-biathlon-june-6th-bedford.html

It's a real mind **** trying to figure out what to do when a competitor that is already shooting his targets is ahead of you & you see him miss one. He now has to do a penalty lap. Do you slow down, make your 5 shots count so you don't also need to run that penalty lap? What if the guy behind you is thinking the same thing?

Well, I guess I must have jinxed myself with this post.
As of yesterday, I blew out my "good" knee with a torn ACL.
My Dr. says that at my age, and with arthritis in the knee, a ligament "repair" isn't the reasonable thing to do and he says, to fix the knee, we need to do a total knee replacement.
Having done it once, I know what to expect, so, onward and upward.
Oh, the joy's of getting old.

At my age (72) and 2 back surgeries I've decided it's fight or die.

I run ONCE a year. It's the Beyond the Badge 5k. I did happen to run a 1.5mi timed late last year in 12:10. Not bad for someone that never runs. I do BJJ and that works my cardio better than running without the impact.
