Remember friends, your own personal most casualty producing weapon is none other than yourself. Take care of yourselves you fat fucks.
I run with a 12 pound vest for the time being. I ran with my 25 pound vest too many times in a short period of time and fucked my knees up bad. I'm lucky I'm still young and able to recover from it, but man, did I learn to take it easy with those workouts.
You shouldn't be running in a plate carrier until you are running 5 miles in 40 minutes. After you get that, you can play with your perversions like running in gear/boots if you want.
And for all the twinks, that's while repping 225 on DL and 1RM 225 on bench.
Same poster as
. Yeah, that's how I fucked my shit up. I run 2 miles at most and do other leg workouts on different days. Thanks for the advice.
>repping 225 on DL
Is that supposed to be impressive or anything?
>1RM 225 on bench
Oh. I understand. Good thing you train your legs by running :^)
No, it's a baseline. Learn how to read, gay.
>You shouldn't be running in a plate carrier until you are running 5 miles in 40 minutes
You can walk five miles in 50 minutes.
The overwhelming majorit of people do it in 75-100 minutes. 50 minutes is if you're some lanky motherfucker who power walks.
You will fuck your knees up for life
Learn how to run
See above
>You will fuck your knees up for life
Not to mention the chafing from the SAPI plates. Better have some emollients...
FRUITY RUDAAAY
>muh military larp
>I almost joined the SEALs
Agrument disporved
You fuck your knees up when you don't know how to run properly.
Stop going heel down first.
Good fucking luck. How do you even change that? Send me some good links. Been running for ages, try to fix posture, try to fix heel strike, buy Altra no-rise shoes. Still heelstrike.
>good fucking luck
Not hard at all.
Are you that lazy you can't google or youtube "how to run properly"? You need to learn how to land mid foot strike, don't have your legs fully extended because that shit is pretty much guaranteed to make you land heel first, control knee lift, lean forward slightly so the foot is more under neath you and not infront of you when your foot makes contact, relax your shoulders and arms.
NTA but holy shit I didn't know, I just though it was walking faster but I tried your advice and it's so much easier. I know this is normally said sarcastically but thank you, I never learned how to properly run beyond "go faster"
Right. I am sure magically contorting into a completely new movement pattern won't fuck all your shit up.
It doesn't, try it. Run with your chest slightly forward, don't fully extend your leg to hit the ground, and run on the balls of your feet. Your calves will feel pretty rough at first but they'll get used it and you can give your knees a break.
Run barefoot. Even if it's just in a gym or something.
You will automatically stop heel striking.
run barefoot, shoes make your foot muscles work unevenly, you'll notice which muscles you've been neglecting right away
>just fuck up some other part of your body
it's not magic, you landing mid foot doesn't defy physics and make all that force dissapear
your body isn't meant for running carrying all that weight for long term
100% this. I lift in my plate carrier and hike with a ruck, but hell no to running. Even after a LOT of training to correct form and posture, the force of the impact still has to go somewhere. Humans are meant to do mostly body weight exercise, stray from that baseline (in either direction really) and you'll have problems down the road
you're supposed to land on the balls of your feet so that your calves can act as a spring to absorb the impact.
>it's not magic, you landing mid foot doesn't defy physics and make all that force dissapear
You might as well say "plates aren't magic, a bullet hitting your plate doesn't defy physics and make all that force disappear".
No, of course it doesn't, it just spreads that force out over a wider physical area so it doesn't cause an injury. Same way a mid-foot running gate spreads force out of a longer time period as your ankle joint, Achilles tendon and calf muscle to absorb the impact of each step.
It won't. It doesn't. It's a much more natural running gait, the only reason heel striking has become more common is due to built-up running shoes that have fucked out shit up.
Yeah, I can get that. Me and a couple of my mates have done airsoft or hunting trips in full tactical gear a few times for the memes and to vet our kits. Good fun.
Strength and mobility is important in every area of the body. Get flexible and get strong in the legs alongside running.
I never got the point of running in gear. Like I'll hike in gear and run in my sweatpants and running shoes but moving fast in gear is just a miserable experience nobody should do unless that's their job or something bad happened on their LARP excursion
Nah. Fitness is important but running in gear is fucking miserable.
I run every 2nd day, either lift or box most evenings and go hiking pretty regularly. That's enough to cover all my bases as far as exercise goes imo.
Thing running in gear does more effectively than conventional cardio is make you better at running in gear. The chance that I'll ever be in a situation where that matters is just not worth the discomfort.
If the larp aspect of running in gear tickles your autism enough to get you out the door though then go right ahead OP. Definitely better than laying around like some useless fat slug of a person.
I'd agree with you for the most part, but sometimes it's good to head out to airsoft with the boys and have a little fun running around at the field in your kit. I wouldn't do serious running, but some windsprints into isometrics and calisthenics that airsoft provides is a good way to vet your kit and have a nice day outside with frens.
Have fun destroying your knees for no compensation, I'm sure you look very impressive.

Don't PT in your kit. Everyone talks about damage to your knees, but mine are fine. My back, especially my lower cervical spine, are a total disaster.
>many such cases
*laughs in L5-S1 impingement*
Th-thanks uncle sam
were you airborne too?
>20 years active duty
Either schizo or lying, the longest I have seen anyone in who has sustained injuries like that was 16 years and they were forced into retirement because they physically couldn't keep up anymore.
>senior military member, on my PrepHole?
Not sure what's so unbelievable. I'm not making any wild claims. When you're senior, you're already removed from most physical tasks and you get a bit more leeway. I agree that if I was more junior, there'd be a medboard. You can actually return to full duty after a spinal fusion.
The point is not to run in kit. Lift and do weighted rucks, but don't run.
Interesting, maybe it's just the times a changing, most people I knew got out by 07 or 08.
I knew a guy in for nearly 40 years, he was fucked but was a sgt who just did paperwork supervised range safety. His plan was to hit 40 years, get an excellent pension then punch out with a medical report that would help get him more benefits. Guy was a legend to be fair, joined at 16 and left just before he was 60
Enlist at 19, injured at 39.
39-19=20
You got a 7 on the asvab didn't you anon?
Running with gear does absolutely zero improvements running-wise but it's good if
>you know you'll find in the situation where you'll have to run with your kits and you want to see how you'll handle it
>you want to lose weight
>you want to fuck up your knees
If you want to get better at running just run normally
You need yo use your gear sometimes for balance and to decrease injury chanse.
Running included.
Stuff like this is literally only good for getting used to being miserable. If you're going to run in plates make sure you do it when it's also raining after you've stayed up all night. Do like 15 miles with no water.
When you get home and your nipples are bleeding and you're hypothermic, dehydrated, and hallucinating from exhaustion you will have increased your mental toughness. Smoke like 3-4 cigarettes and wash like 8 naproxen down with a monster and you'll be good to go.
Incorporating some running sections into rucks is alright
>"haha thats a pretty neat rifle anon, and that carrier is badass too! How far do you run with your vest on? ... you do workout with your bare kit every now and then right?"
I shoot him in the back for insulting me
I have pretty decent muscles for my age, 38. I have been training for more than 20 years. But i can't run for shit. If i try to run for like 30 seconds, the next day my knees will hurt like hell, to the point i have to take some painkillers.
>Take care of yourselves you fat fucks.
Running in full gear is literally Fat Fuck Simulator, you'll blow your knees and the most hilarious part is you retarded larpers DO IT FOR FREE.
I run 3+ times a week and you couldn't pay me in gold to do any of it in full gear.
t. boot
OP here, shut the fuck up boot.
You don't run in full gear so stop larping like you do.
If you really are a boot and a combat unit youll learn 🙂
I do it when I have to because I'm getting paid for it.
You would have to be mentally ill to be doing it in your own free time for free, which is why you're just shitposting about it.
There is nothing to be gained through running and exercise with 60lb of extra shit on your body that a combination of regular weight and cardio training won't achieve with much less wear and tear on your joints, tendons and ligaments.
This is basically like you saying that just because pilots might need to eject, it's good to practice ejecting on a regular basis to build up tolerance to it. No it's not, you're just gonna fuck up your spine, retard.
there are two types of people in regard to full battle rattle runs
>those that don't do it
>those who lie about it
you don't even do this bullshit in the military because it's a 100% guaranteed way to destroy your joints
Infantry units do this anon. Like twice a month
whack. I was infantry for 3 years and never once did a run in full battle rattle. the only time I ever ran with full gear was secondary to another event that I was in gear for, like an FTX
As a former infanteer I can assure you, we did shit in full rattle all the time.
my knees hurt, boss
Anyone even active military and police who run with a plate carrier are cringe. You only run with full kit in short bursts or in emergency. I see only one cop at a training facility run in full kit. Alone. Like a fucking LARPer
To ad: How about you should run. That alone is a massive achievement most people do not do.
