I run to the pub sometimes if im late or from a taxi if i have no money!

Thief!

Highly respectable. Wish I could make time for running too :/

Don't tell me you don't have time to run when you got the time to hang around on an esports site. Takes like 1-2h max and you don't even have to run every single day.

Willpower is another issue :))

Agree with ya man. The cranky bit...aint it summat to do with the lack of endo what ja ma call its not being released into ones brain from no exercise when your used to it.

i run from the police

Damn irish terrorist

pohliceee

You can run, but you can't hide :o

You do look like the typical runner person. Athletic and slim. I probably would hurt my knees if I tried it. Need to lose some more weight. Kinda got the blubber thing happenin' right now you know wut i'm sayin

ill race you

ps, exercise might be a cause of death as well. running too much, or being run over.

i don't know which of the two extremes has a bigger chance of killing you, tho.

yes, you run, congratulations, bloody chump

Running is definately helpful for many people (including myself), helps to get rid of stress and get your head clear again. Also one of the things a senior graduate highly recommended to the audience in a speech at uni some time ago, especially when you're going to live a rather stressful life in western society + economy.

if your talking about heart conditions then excercise doesnt guarantee to prevent them. one of the oldest runners who attends marathons etc. has heart disease and he's been running all his life. what you eat is more likely to prevent heart disease and such than excercise.

Exercise beats cancer. Just look at Armstrong.

armstrong? im sure it helps a little but far from guarantee being free of cancer.

Doctors said it was due to his extreme daily exercises (5-7 hrs a day riding bike) that beat off cancer, including his regular daily healthy food.

INCLUDING

Proof? Evidence? Links? Every single article and study I have read says that running/exercise decreases ones chance for heart disease.

decreases, not stop

ok he did start running at 55 but he still got heart disease. it prevents, it doesnt stop. need to eat healthy too. cant be bothered to find the articles but theyre on bbc news and newscientist i think. loads of articles on food effecting cancer. especially a good 1 somewhere on high starch and high carbohydrate diets causing breast cancer and a couple of other type of cancer, discovered in mexico because of high cancer rate and they eat a lot of starchy food. a couple i think of news posts about a study on the bbc about how 30 minutes exercise is enough in a week. diabetes type 2 strongly linked to lack of or too much protein depending on the diabetes, the number of vegeterians i know that have diabetes type 2 including my dad astounds me, god knows why doctors dont recommend more protein. caffeine linked to diabete type 2 also (also 1 or 2 saying coffe e helps, from experiance with my dad, it worsens). im sure exercise helps but i think its far from the number 1 cause of the greed diseases. anyway, some random links, probably more, cant be bothered though. im too fit to waste my time on this anymore.

oh yeah i remember now, the caffeine thing and diabetes. 1 article said how caffeine increased tummy fat/waist size and another 1 saying how diabetes type 2 people had bigger waist size, link the 2 and walla. ofc there are more specific studys out there too on diabetes and caffeine. theres salt and heart disease as well, a very strong link there, although i do wonder if thats correct, probably is.

I've been in some kind of sport since I was 4 years old and running strenuously since I was 15 (Cross Country at school, etc). If one hasn't been doing anything but flipping channels on the couch and driving through McDonald's pickup windows for 55 years, I'd imagine their body is in horrible shape as well.

especially a good 1 somewhere on high starch and high carbohydrate diets causing breast cancer and a couple of other type of cancer, discovered in mexico because of high cancer rate and they eat a lot of starchy food.

I'd imagine eating those foods without exercising is BAD. I am a pasta freak. I run about 20-25 miles a week which really isn't that much. You need to eat lots of carbs if you are going to be excersing a lot.

The articles you post talk about bad genes and how you don't need as much exercise. Take a look here http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/0072.htm This shows that the more you work out the better it is for you. The "fact" that running more than 30 miles a week does you no more good is false! I personally don't run more than 30 miles a week because I don't want my joints to get injured. I bike for 1hour opposite the days I run. Excessive running can cause injury, which I've personally been through, and as a result, I only run every other day. I used to run 6 days straight, 1 day off. Varying my distance from 10km on an easy and and 15km on a hard day. Now I'll do 10km Monday, 15km Wednesday and 10km on Friday or so.

On diabetes.. http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/riskfortype2/

Either way strenous exercise is good for the body. Would I simply eat right and not exercise? Hell no. Would I eat wrong and still exercise? Haha, I probably some bad things, but I'm quite sure that I would not be able to run a 5:48 mile if the things I ate were totally killing my body.

IM NOT SAYING YOU SHOULDNT EXERCISE BUT EXERCISE ISNT EVERYTHING TO HELP PREVENT THESE SORT OF THINGS. GOD CANT YOU PEOPLE READ. and the the mexican breast cancer thing was huge, it was something like 40% women in 1 area developing breast cancer in their life, exercise helps prevent, it doesnt completely prevent 100% of all conditions. god sake, you people are stupid, oh ill run all day and eat 10 meals a day at mcdonalds and i wont get ill. god your idiots. all that article says is that it has benefits, its not bloody everything, sodding idiots. i know people who developed diabetes type 2 who exercised, that link shows nothing, its just another self diagnosis page. both those links show nothing.

expected some fat-chick-dancing.avi... pleasant surprise

if it wasn't so cold in scotland i'd be out running at least 3 times a week.

But the fact that its raining and cold makes it a task to get out.

I'll go try it when this shit cold finished up :)

i miss the gym :P

who need looks when you have aim?

lol @ running

there are animals that hunt and animals that are prey, you notice that at the way their eyes are aligned. humans have a choice, and runners definitely are flight oriented instead of fighting. I prefer fighting, if the world goes to shit I'll hunt you down and eat you.

do you run many "milez" :) ?
