Here's our new HOME GYM WORKOUT plan: www.buffdudes.us/collections/...
In our last running video we attempted (and succeeded!) the six minute mile. And at 235 pounds it was quite the challenge. But having passed that test it's now time to move onto an even harder one. Can two dudes who both weigh over 210 pounds (Hudson: 212 pounds, Brandon: 228 pounds) do a 10k run against experienced runners? We're about to find out.
#running #challenge - Zábava
As a runner myself, Hudson’s inner monologue is hilariously realistic. Thanks for making me laugh at the absurdity of my own inner monologues when running!
That’s monologue is my monologue for the first 20 mins of every run.
Goggins comes to mind: STAY HARD!
Mines is usually pretending I’m in the military lol
I'm not even a runner but that's exactly how I feel when I attempt to run 🤡
Most of my training has me running a 5k to warm up or cool down (depending on the training of that day) and this is all I think while running
As a runner it was awesome to see the focus on the mental aspect of running. Ive always told my wife that any run over 30 minutes is no longer a physical activity and instead a mental one. Nice work!
Totally! You just nailed the whole concept of long distance running in that 😀
That's true and bullshit at the same time.. Being physically fit makes the mental part easier.. Over 30 minutes run is way easier mentally for a fit person.. Is always a combination of both.. physical and mental.
what is easy for you physically, can be hard mentally and physically for someone else..
I love this. I love that you did it and came in last and are still smiling. I've been fighting cancer for a few years and my cancer caused me to gain a toooon of weight - but as a runner I still mentally wanted to go. So, mid chemo, at almost three times my normal weight, and totally bald (if only I could attach a pic here!), I ran a thanksgiving day 4 mile run. With a whole bunch of runners. I came in... absolutely dead last. Haha. It made my heart feel good that you said that, and were still proud of it. Hell yeah. Now I'm a lifter and a crossfit nerd and a runner and all that weight is gone (and I'm in remission at the moment - woohoo!) but thank you for sharing that you can come in last and still have a great time and get great benefits out of just getting out of your comfort zone. HELL YEAH!!!!! :)
So happy to read that you are in remission!
Praying for you! And awesome job! 😎
Love how open these guys are about the negativity they have to battle. One of the few fitness pages where it’s not sold to you that you’ll feel invincible 24/7 💯
Depends on how you train, can't say I've ever trouble exercising, it's so enjoyable.
Dear god that guy in his 90s still running long distances and was a nuclear physist and an author is so inspirational. What an amazing human...
90 going on 60 dude looks fantastic
Bluff Duds (LYING ROIDERS)
Stay natural buddy!
I feel simultaneously inspired and like absolute shit.
That's quite impressive but can he burp the alphabet in under 30 seconds?
@@gladiatorscoops4907 The dude went to college. He could burp the Periodic Chart.
I'm in my 60s. I've recently been diagnosed with heart disease. I started running in a HIIT style: I jog, then sprint, then walk, repeat. I feel pretty good, and I know I lost weight. I can visibly see some of it, but I can tell because I went from a Men's Large to a Men's Medium in shirts. I also try and make it to the gym when I can, but I do pushups every day when I can't and some other exercises with dumbbells I have at home. I also have a minor form of Thalassemia, which means I will never be a long distance runner, but I'm doing the best I can.
Keep pushing. Diagnosed with heart failure, but lift weights and do cardio 6 times a week.
Best wishes to you!
HIIT is the way. Jogging is def not so good
Good for you man! Keep at it!! Proud of you!!!
@@turboterps is hit better for cardio or to lose weight? and why is jogging bad? thanks
Awesome as always guys. I'd love to see a 30 days only calisthenics to see what you'd do to maintain your physique without weights. What modifications would you make. I think that would be a fun watch.
Bluff Duds (LYING ROIDERS)!
Stay natural buddy!
That's a good one.
No there's someone to emulate. Thanks for recognizing him dudes!
That a GREAT challenge. Nice
They've already done a body weight only program and released a book for it too. They've got videos of the full program and process on CZcams :). Though I do not remember how much they spoke about the maintaining of their physique in the program. :) I'd be more curious about them learning specific calisthenics skills. Front lever, back lever, free standing handstand push up, muscle up, planche etc. etc. Not much question to their strength in the skills, more the different body coordination and awareness. Would perhaps be a bit concerned on the wrist strength / mobility for planche though.
One of the realist videos I’ve seen. Touched on so many topics with REAL tribulations for more lean people
You guys gave off massive David Goggins vibes with this challenge. And you helped me solidify the fact that looking buff is different from being in shape like a 90 year old man! I think that your heart will want you guys to keep it up!
Being in shape is a weird thing everyone seems to have a different definition of it.
@@callumwade4579 some want to look like they are in shape others want to feel and perform like they are in shape
I love what Hudson said about the psychology of keeping running for a long period. I use a Treadmill (the regular numbers help me feel real progression) and have found the best thing is a playlist of 3-4 minute songs. Each song is then about a half mile (a bit less in honesty) and long enough to be big progress but short enough to not feel forever. Then each new song kind of "resets" my brain to not feel like it has been forever.
That's interesting you say that cause I run for 20-30 mins every night and I tend to prefer to listen to Psytrance songs because its fast paced and they go for an average of 7 minutes. I find that the longer fast paced songs help pass the time quicker. Whereas when I listen to shorter songs by the time I get to 4th song it feels like I have been running forever.
Interesting how different things work for different people.
Talking to the guys in the video:
Yeah and now get a job and then try to do this all.....f rich kids.
And i don't mean some office job but a job where you work outside all day from 7:00 to 19:00 when you get home.
Like construction or, road builder.
I run the trails but use the same method. It's a way of breaking a run down into manageable chunks. 'I've got 4 songs to go', etc.
Nice trick. I’m going to use this.
Works for me too...I've been doing itnfor the past 10 years
I weighed 235 pounds when I started running every week day a year and a half ago and my mile time was 12 minutes. I now weight 208 and my mile time today was 8:20. My legs were sore for 7 months when I started. I feel great now and don't want to lose it, I love how in shape I feel. Thanks for sharing lew's story, it's great inspiration.
KEEP MOVING!!!!!
Congrats man. Your story inspires me. Keep up the great work 👍
How does one have sore legs for 7 months straight, like what?
@@ticktockbam LOL I hadn't ran a mile in 12 years.
how did you avoid shin splints?? I started running like twice a week and got shin splints within two months
I forgot how much I love you guys . Still the BEST on CZcams. Your positive vibe is palpable through the screen qnd across millions of miles. Stay awesome!
First time subscriber here. Getting back into the gym at 41. Love the vids and tips. Just finished my second week of eating better and workouts. Little sore, but defiantly starting to feel better physically and mentally. Thanks for all the content and hope all is well with the little buff dude.
keep it up bro! im proud of you man!
Amazing episode. I hated running, I was more into indoor team sports and hiking but during lockdowns in the UK there was nothing left to do. I started gaining a fair bit of weight even with at home exercises so I ended up running no matter the weather just made it a rule that I had to run. After 1 month didn't notice too much just like you guys, I was handling the speeds a bit better but still pretty amateur, 3months I started noticing losing a fair bit of weight and since over a year I have lost 15kg and finally run my first marathon distance. When I started I didn't think I was capable but as you've said if you push your body to it and see older folk doing it at much faster speed this is real inspiration. I no longer hate running, instead I love it because now I'm older I was going to quit my team sports getting slower heavier in it as I need speed and ability to jump, running has rejuvenated all this for me. I feel lighter, faster, younger and much stronger. Sure I don't carry a big upper body or large arms but as you get older this is less important and cardiovascular fitness becomes more relevant. Either way it's all a balancing game and running did just that.
Love the humor, the learning process, the fact that you made this fun!! After I get into my therapy for my knee surgery... I WILL RUN. HALF MARATHON!!! My goal my dream
I’m a fellow “rino.” I enjoy running and lifting; the running has really helped to lower my blood pressure. Thanks for the great videos.
How many days per week do you run, vs. how many days per week do you lift?
@@RoyalFizzbin3-4 to 1-2 times a day for me mostly. I am 5"8 220lb
Honestly my favorite race memories are the ones where things don’t go as planned. Makes it an adventure and the journey is just as rewarding as the finish. Happens a lot in relay races.
I LOVE the marbles in the jar idea, such a great representation of how goal setting is achieved. You guys friggin rock.
I'm with you on that! Great idea, particularly for all things that does not have a physical form to see the change here and now. Reading, learning languages, most things on a computer really (games excluded). Gives us a physical representation of what we are doing, rather than having to hold the thought in our mind. "Easier" with building a house. We can sort of see it being built brick by brick. Or mowing the lawn for that matter (granted we didn't just mow it yesterday :P).
I’ve been a long distance runner since the age of 10, I’m 31 now. The most overlooked aspect to running is the mental fortitude it takes to do it. It’s 80% psychological & 20% physical. You will quit yourself well before your body quits you. You can toughen your mental fortitude like you would your body; train everyday. Steven Prefontaine has a beautiful quote about this, “I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it.”
y ep keep lying bro hehe
@@SoggyBiscuitPro what?
@@stilth I thought u were making this shit up to look superior
@@stilth you said you been a long distance runner since 10 I guess some people don’t believe shit til they see it
Who gives a fuck
I literally just ran a 15k yesterday, my longest distance yet… I have to tell you, a 10k in 58min is legitimately a good time… especially for someone who is not a runner. Great video!
Congratulations Dudes!
Getting lost is a right of passage with running, so don't let it bother you. I actually got lost while running the race to qualify for my undergraduate cross country team. Missed the turn off into the finish and ran an extra 3 miles of a 5 mile loop. Coach realized that, while I was stupid, I could still run just fast enough to make the team. Haha.
That was twenty years ago, and after years of not running regularly due to back problems, I'm training to run a turkey trot 5k this November. It'll be my first race in 17 years!
The mental toughness is essential. You've got to fully accept that you're going to be tired and achy every day. I came to take that, and the aches/pains/negative thoughts and their efforts to slow/stop me personally. The more they tried to hurt me, the harder I pushed. Took that to extremes on college and wouldn't recommend doing it quite as hard as I did then, but I've learned how to dial it back enough to not get injured now and it's served me well.
If you keep with running, try working on some longer interval training. It's fun. Haha.
There was a kid on my high school cross country team who had a gimp leg and arm, very little muscular coordination, and couldn't navigate our course properly. I remember that in his last race as a senior, he hit a 10 minute PR because he finally memorized the course, lmao. We were all so happy for him.
You guys are awesome! Running is no easy task and training for anything running related is a huge mental game. I run everyday for 6-12 miles and there are days where I want to make excuses, but the mental part is just as important as the physical part. Glad you guys are always pushing yourselves!
This is one of the coolest channels on CZcams. I love the way Brandon & Hudson present their content & their tutorials on various exercises has helped me a lot. Thank you guys🙏
It doesn't matter if you guys finished last, as long as you competed the challenge. You guys trained non-stop without giving up. Good job you guys
Man great job y’all! Nothing wrong with last, the fact that you made it that far is amazing! 💪🏼 I’m on the Endurance portion of your Super Hero plan (fantastic btw!) and I’ve definitely seen Buff Jesus a few times doing it 😆 y’all definitely have to do the natural bodybuilder comp, I bet you would crush it! Much love 🙌🏼
I appreciate you highlighting how difficult distance running really is - those of us who do this everyday as part of our lifestyle have fought a lot of mental battles to get to that point
this video was awesome. I love how you dove into the mental part just as much if not more than the physical part. Great content guys!
You guys are amazing and so underrated. There's so many new fitness youtubers that have blown up, have their own supplements and follow a formula that so many other fitness CZcamsrs follow (not knocking it but I'm just saying). You guys are by far the most creative and in a whole other lane of your own. Been following your channel for the better part of 10 years and I'm so happy to see the content has never gotten stale!
Great work guys, I find that 3-4 15-20 minute runs a week is a good balance with the strength training and I can really feel the benefits in my cardio health especially during supersets at the gym. Would love to see you guys enter the natural bodybuilding comp!
As an ex cross country runner this was funny to see, for 5 years I ran long distance for highschool and a year in college. I still run but not in a competitive way, I really enjoyed that they did this many people think runners are weak but it is actually very mentally and physically tough to do. very good vid guys
You must have like 0% muscle mass and fat.
I tried cross country and quit after the first day because I couldn't go down the stairs without pain- whoever says it's easy or thinks you're not strong is completely wrong 😭
Running is the most challenging sport in my opinion... First of all because it's pretty fucking boring, but also very painful. After 8years of lifting weights i switched to running one year ago. I realized that 5mins of running was a challenge and that was a switching point for me. Started to run more but STILL after one year, it will ALWAYS slap you in the face even after my stamina has gotten better, because you realize its hard as fuck, every second, every minute is pain, no breaks, and there is still fkn hour to go. What's been really amazing to see when I put running my #1 priority and gym #2, is that lifting weights at the gym is easy AF (excluding legdays tho)!! I can do almost twice as much sets beacuse my oxygen uptake has gotten so much better. It's actually enjoyable to come to gym and just get the pump or lift heavy!
Bodybuilders seems to have high ego and think running is just easy (me in the past) and they laugh about how they suck at it. It's fucking hard. And your bodybuilding workouts doesn't gonna improve your running and aerobic capacity no matter how hard you work (usual misconception among the meathead BBers). But it would actually help you get more sets and not get gassed out immeadiately!! And no, running will not make you lose any of your gains.
@@TidusL2 why you say that?
I would never call David Goggins weak!
you two are informative , hilarious & it keeps me coming back.
Thank you for sharing this video. I am embarking on my own 30-day running challenge starting tomorrow, and it was great to hear your insight!
Wow amazing video! As a runner it was impressive to see you guys clear 9 miles straight in 30 days, nice!!! Greatest fitness channel on YT by far
It’s really nice to see you guys being honest about times on the long runs. I’m 6’2 210 as well and recently started training for a half marathon after years of lifting. It’s hard to relate to runners and friends that weigh a lot less and can sprint for miles. It’s nice to see a realistic starting point for larger guys getting into running
at 6 2 you should be under 200 pounds if you want to make running a thing . There just isn't any way around it really. And, even then, it really isn't a ton of fun.
Thank you. I appreciate you go beyond your comfort zone and you really built your cardio, speed, and endurance skills while maintaining your strength.
Great video! As a younger runner its always great to see encouraging people like ye lads. Your runner inner monologue had me laughing out loud because of how relatable it was :D
Great experiment. I’m a runner and did a load of climbing in the past. there’s a big difference between power and endurance and you guys hit the nail on the head when talking about fast and slow twitchers. Awesome job guys! Your farting whilst running thing had me in creases! Truth!!
Yes! Absolutely would love to see you dudes hit the natural bodybuilding stage!! Stay Buff!
Great vid guys. I would realy enjoy wacthing you prep for a competition.
I love your channel. I’ve been watching it since middle school. Now I’m in my last year of grad school. Keep up the great content and do the bodybuilding show!
While this is a fun video. If anyone is just starting their running adventure try these workouts. Week 1 run 3 or 4 times for 30 minutes. However, break the run down to 1 minute of running and 4 minutes of walking. Repeat 6 times and BAM 30 minutes done. The following weeks just add a minutes of running and subtract a minute of walking from each interval. Before you know it you will be running for 30 minutes straight. Good luck to everyone that got inspired by there DUDES to start running.
no. do what you want.
@@porchturds8149 yea like a workout plan. who needs that shit
I’m a 290 lbs dude and I’m always so proud to say I can jog 4 miles in the treadmill, takes me 40 mins though. I’m on a weightloss journey and I can’t wait to see what distances I’ll run as I lose more weight. Major goal is to do a 10k
@@Cadenza93 Good luck on your journey. I was aiming on loosing weight too when I started running. Went from 115 kg down to 105 kg. I can only say: Each pound makes it easier to run more, keep at it! :)
@@Cadenza93 good luck to you. 4 miles in 40 minutes is great! At 290 pounds that is better than great, that is very, very impressive. Your are close to a 10k now, there is no doubt you will get there. Just be patient with your running to avoid injuries. Again, best of luck.
Always a pleasure to watch new content from Brandon and Hudson! I hope the buff family is doing well!
DO IT!!! You guys have been having my dyinnn laughing and inspired for years! Love you guys! Crank it out! We believe in you!!
I appreciate the honesty and sharing your inner monologue. Spot on.
The Buff Dudes has uploaded yet again top tier content today is a good day!
@Text Me At Telegram👉@Buff_Dudes i am due back from holiday “vacation” when i am back i do swear i shall become a 5ft 7 BUFF DUDE!
You guys are great, because it's easy to keep doing what you know you are good at. Not so many do the other way around.
A lot of it is down to genetics. I've got a runners body, can't gain weight, will do 10kms in about 40mins but I like weight training more. So here I am, 53 soon, still weight training after 30+ yrs, with my long limbs and short body. Probably do 10kms in about 50mins now. But who cares: you do what you love because you generally just get one good swing at life. Stay buff.
Oh, and yes - do the natural comp. I've forgotten what natural competition looks like nowadays...
Great job guys!! Not just for completing the task and meeting your goal, but for even giving it a try and stepping out of what you know and love to do 👏
glad you guys are still doing these videos, massive props
I've been preaching this exact comfort zone thing to everyone who cares to hear it (or not) for years now, this is the first time I've seen someone else mention it!
I'll add the unspoken bit here: If you don't go out of your comfort zone regularly, it continuously shrinks, until nothing is comfortable anymore.
Thinking about it this way really made a difference in my consistency and my drive to push myself a little bit further constantly.
Bluff Duds (LYING ROIDERS)!
Stay natural buddy!
Yup, exactly this. Thanks for saying this.
you got me on this
I'd love to see Hudson and Brandon hit the stage. That'd be amazing.
It would also be be cool if they posted their weekly progress leading up to the video upload.
Same

@@tanelviil9149 No need to paste this every where. You are jealous, as your life's path led you to having to slave every day, with no time to train.
If you had a youtube channel with over 2 million subscribers, you could be doing what they are. Jealousy serves no practical purpose, try another emotion.....
Running is great for confidence and inner peace! You 2 have big hearts to share vulnerabilities as well as strengths❤️❤️
Great video! I love seeing these challenges its really motivating to see you improve yourselves and stepping out of their comfort zone.
I would love to see you competing in a bodybuilding show!!!
Awesome display of mental fortitude guys 🙂 And YES would be cool to se you at a natural bodybuilding comp, you already look the part, so that should be an easy challenge for you 💪💪😃
Yo awesome video! Relevant to what I've been doing this month, I'm on my own 30 day running challenge. Doing at least 3 miles per day, I'm 18 days in and feel phenomenal! Love your content guys keep it up!
definitely try the 30 day bodybuilding show prep, i'd be rly interested to see how that works out🤣 this video was awesome, i love the marble analogy and all the great mindset tricks you guys talk about!
Hilarious! Super helpful, love the dialogue, off to the gym-just joined yesterday!
Yoga everyday for 30 days would be a great video!! Thanks guys for everything.
That's a good one
Do nothing for 30 days would be the same.
@@krak3n852 Seems like someone has no idea of Yoga at all. Not surprising, given its disintegration in the West where people think Yoga is just body acrobatics and making strange poses
I'm so proud of you and you have inspired me. I used to do 10ks and 1/2 marathons but thought I was too old (not retirement age yet). I started running yesterday and decided I'd do it every day. 💖
Good for you man, have fun with running. It takes awhile but once you get to the point where you start to love it you won't regret it
You two Dudes are honestly, THE BEST. Thank you for being REAL!
Love you guys, love that you have sponsors, and love the running challenge! I usually find that the first 30 days of running is absolute shit, but after that my body gets used to it and it becomes... enjoyable? At least most of the time. So props for enduring the worst part of it and still being so upbeat! You guys are an inspiration.
I’m 6 4 230 and do lots of cardio and weights. Maybe try to do low impact cardio and weights as your next challenge. Less systemic fatigue. Great video and congrats 🎊 for the challenge. Last is better then not finishing
Totally would love to see u guys prep for bodybuilding contest. Awesome video, keep up the good work
That Marble ide is just briliant. Thanks a lot for that tip as I dearly need some extra motivation for my upcoming 28km run.
man, entering a natural bodybuilding comp would be the most epic videos you guys have ever done lol that would be a bad ass series, with workouts, diet, lifestyle changes...id love it!
"When you think you can't go any further, that's when you push it out!" *Messy Times* applauds Lou and these two dudes. Stay buff!
Running is great! Awesome video!
This video was awesome. Made me laugh a bunch and also inspired me. Thanks guys.
Earned a new subscriber with this 💯❤
Thank you, Guys ... I'm 60 and have been inspired to continue on to my 3rd day of running.
Nice work guys, I'm a new subscriber and your content is quickly becoming my go to videos 💪
Love your channel because of your dedication to test things on your own body
Exactly how I felt like when I started running. Including the inner monologue hahahaha.
I managed to keep it pleasant by running easy 4 days a week for 15 min, and once a week 30 min. Greasing the groove. From there I add 10% more time every week. After some weeks it feels really nice and comfy to run and I could really enjoy it. Now I run 1 5k tempo run, 1 long run (90 min), 1 sprint interval workout and 3 times easy a week. It just feels great doing and improvement has been great!
I've been a regular lifter for about 7 years (6'1'', 225ish) and decided as I approach 40 to get my cardiovascular system in order, with rising BP and a family history of cardiovascular disease/atherosclerosis. How hard could it be, I figured - I ran lots playing sports in high school. I never could've imagined how difficult those first baby steps were into running at this age and at this size. I couldn't even run a single full lap around a track at the start, so the fact that you guys are immediately cranking out 3 to 6 mile runs is pretty great. It was super humbling, but I'm finally making some headway in endurance (and getting healthier at the same time)
Edit: I laughed so damn hard at you guys placing last. Perfect.
This i is a a great video xxx very Inspiring xxxx body building challenge sounds nuts! You should totally do it- I believe in you guys x
i stopped watching your videos...just got back to it again,,, and surprise surprise a running video ::)) Nice I love running. Going back to your channel again for fun and motivation
Would you guys consider doing 30 days of sprinting? I'd be interested in seeing the difference between the both types of running and how they affect your physique. Thanks for the great channel!
That can only affect your physique in one way and it's called shin splints
That would be nuts to go from a non runner to a sprinter. It would be like how soon can I get injured?
Blown hammys
@@Twistedmetal456 thats bc of weak tibialis muscles, which they have developed. They have the muscular and bone strength to not get into overuse injuries.
@@-guitarhero Weight room strength has extremely little influence on the chance of getting a running related injury.
I'm not super serious about running or weights, but I'm currently doing 3 days weights and a 10-13km every week. I'm steadily progressing on both fronts, and I'm happy since it's a different mental challenge doing both. The key thing is to up your protein for run-recovery, it makes a huge difference.
And make sure you supplement with collagen and oral hyaluronic acid! This is critical for the joints and connective tissue!
Facts bro! I always make an effort to consume protein 4 - 5 times a day and I've noticed a significant improvement
Eventually ur body will decide which stimulus is more important and you will stop progressing on one or the other but just keep riding it out until then

Thank you guys for these videos. I’ve been carrying around a lot of bad energy lately. I gotta go for run now!
This is awesome been subscribed for a few years and I never thought I'd see this💪👍
When it comes to running and mentality, I’m big on Goggins just for the mental game. Very motivating
Inspiring*
“I hate running so I run everywhere I need to be.”
If only they had david goggins in their ear the whole time
This was very funny and inspirational at the same time. Thanks Buff Dudes!
Totally awesome, you both did phenomenal. Sure, I'd love to see the 30 day challenge to enter a body building competition. Best of luck in your next challenge.
It's interesting that even training for years you can still have a hard time when getting into specific facets of fitness. After doing this, do you think you'll incorporate more running into your routine to become more hybridized, or will you go back to the level of cardio you did before the challenge?
We'll definitely continue to incorporate more running. As hard as it is, it's also very rewarding. We'd like to continue to try and grow and implement other facets as well! -Hudson
@@buffdudes would highly recommend the running app zombies run. Makes running so much more fun and it is very rewarding. Well done 👏
When I first started out running, it was a miserable experience. It was a long process to run 3 miles non stop. But the sweet taste of victory of running 3 miles was awesome
Love the calendar man👍
I like the look of those brooks running shoes! 🤙🏽 doing my first ever marathon relay tomorrow. Thanks for the content guys!
Thanks dudes, you've motivated me to give running a try, though at 260lbs (maybe too buff), not sure how my joints are going to go, but think 4 days running is plenty
Get on a road bike or hit the trails in a mountain bike. its easier on the joint. Skipping rope is another great alternative
@@imaXkillXya i like the idea of a mountain bike, but trails 1 hr drive each way, too many drug and drunk drivers on the road, rope maybe an Idea, thanks.
Start with very short distances frequently, take small steps and watch your foot placement, make sure you're landing under you, not in front (maybe youtube it). You'll need your tendons to get used to it, you're muscles will be fine if you're strong. Went through all that, now running half marathons comfortably on the weekend at 210 lbs. Best of luck!
@@shortclips9620 thanks for the advice, I'll try it after i train legs today
Bodybuilding or a powerlifting meet could be really cool to see y’all train for
Keep doing what you guys do !!
This was fun watching! I loved it!
The best method for running further that I've found is to run the distance you want but set checkpoints for yourself. Once you reach that first one walk to your next one, then once you get to your third one run again. Just repeat this until you get to the end. Once you start getting used to the distance run straight to your second checkpoint instead of stopping at the first. Eventually you'll reach the distance without stopping at all.
I find it interesting how you had issues getting used to not taking breaks. I enjoy running and struggle with lifting because I am so used to exercising at a pace I can maintain for an hour or more. I find it very difficult to get into the mindset that I need to push my body close to it's limit with minutes in mind instead of hours.
@ALEXA----------👇💋 LMAOOOOOO
I feel exactly the opposite. I would love to enjoy running but it feels like exausting waiting

Great Video.... I have been using brooks since I started running a couple years ago great shoe! I love the fact that you are big guys and run.. You don't have to place it's the journey... complete not compete works for me.... thanks for the laugh
DO IT GUYS! enter the body building tournament lol. I've been watching your guys videos off and on over the years. Always fun and hilarious energy! Keep it going guys :D
That inner monologue was hilarious. My best mate entered me into a 10k a good few years ago.
I was in a low point, hadn't trained for a while, wasn't eating properly etc so it was essentially from the couch to 10k in 4wks.
First attempt I couldn't even do 700m without gassing (always been a short sprinter type, pretty fast, if any running). Day 4 I cramped HARD in the middle of the night and literally tore both calves. Couldn't walk for over a week.😂
Less than 2wks until the 10k, just find out he's booked me for a 5k the week prior. I slow my pace, finally break 1k and keep pushing, stop at 1.2k.
Day before the 5k I did my first 2k. Yipee lol.
Do the 5k, can't remember the time, I think I walked for 30s and then jogging again.
During the week between the 5 and 10k, I was never able to break passed 2k again.
10k day comes, it felt like it was never going to end but I didn't wanna give up as I was trying to prove something to myself. The slight but long inclining road leading up to the final stretches felt like the hardest thing ever, my body telling me to slow, stop, rest, but my will driving me on, the finish line was after a loop of a Running Track at the local Leisure Centre.
I had a plan in my head for the final section that I'd slow my pace and then gun it with everything I had as soon as I hit the track and I did exactly that.
As soon as I touched the red surface I slowly picked up my pace, passing people like something out of a movie, everything hurt and was burning like mad but after the corner section, the finish line was in sight and I gave it everything. I saw some old faces cheering me on unexpectedly and I pretty much collapsed to the floor after crossing the line.

My best mate asked if I had the "running bug" a few days later. I told him, "no, I hate running, unless it's for a bus or I'm late for something, it doesn't do anything for me, I'm gonna goo back to weights which I love. Fuck running".
Haven't ran since, but it was an achievement. 😆
Great story 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 that's funny.
Its definitely a. Tiring experience. I like running but after running a 10-miler on Saturday. I was dead ass like "I ain't running anymore for 4 days." 😂
Perhaps a bit unfair to judge running from that experience, although I understand the responce after your 10k.
Running should be easy 80% of the time, you went hard 100% of the time if I understand correctly.
If you wanna put blame on anything, put it on your friend and your own mindset.
You exercised for 2 weeks, and called it a day, with no prior running experience.
I think a lot of people have the "I'm a sprinter, not a long distance runner" when the first start out, because a simple 1k is already hard.
A quick anecdote. I used to run regularly 10k with around a 6 min/km pace, and I was in shape, I ran easy and enjoyed it.
I got nerve damage in one of my toes and stopped running, and training altogether for over a year. Got big and squishy because of it, from 93kg to 106kg
Recently I started running again (and training in the gym), one of the first run I went on, I ran around 3km with 9-10 min/km pace. I felt fat and heavy and really really slow. But atleast it was easy running.
2 months later, I run sub 6 min kilometers again and have my eyes set on running a 10k soon, did an 8k run last week. And around 102-103kg heavy.
Running might not be for you, but from your limited and harsh experience, it's no wonder you only run for busses or when you're late for something.
Running can do a lot for you, if you treat it like any other skill, and not something you're inherently good or bad at.
It would be like trying to swim in the ocean when you've only ever sat in a jacuzzi.
Take more time, built the competence and skills slowly, learn from other more experiences people, and never let your friend coerce you into something that silly again.
@@NinJaTrainee Oh absolutely. I haven't ruled running out completely, it's definitely a means to a good end and I will utilise it for cardio, but just in 2k increments once or twice a week when I get my training routine back in place.
I used to run in school and stuff, for me I've never clicked with running and that's cool with me.
Some people connect with it, it's not for me, I don't find it enthralling like I do with weights/HIIT etc, but I do realise it has a place.
Appreciate the input though as many people do give up fairly quickly, but other than 2k for cardio running serves no purpose for me personally and there aren't any goals I want to achieve with it, whereas I do with my weight/body training, so it'll just assist with that. :)

6'2 254 here. I've been training my mile, 2 mile and 5k time. I work a full time job too. So lifting and running is extremely challenging (2 young kids also ;) ) so I've only been doing 1 a day. And u better believe my strength is gone. Went from doing 430 on bench last spring to now even struggling to do 365. I've also lost 25 pounds too so that doesnt help. But yeah, unless your on juice or HGH and getting 250 plus G of Protein a day, no way you will keep your strength up. Now u can stay shredded like these 2, but you ain't gonna be pushing up monster weights anymore.
Legitimately didn’t think buff dudes got tired haha! Very cool to see you guys NEVER STOP
OMG I am a runner and you made me laugh so hard, a lot of it is so true. I love the humour and the fact you don't take yourself seriously. Keep up the good work!
