  1. I just went on hike up mountain. 3.5 hrs to the top. ten times harder
    than running. once my tendinitis in my leg is cured, I will be winning
    some races. i have great cardio from mountain climbing. i feel sorry
    for people who think 40 minutes of running is exercise.

  2. Allow me to point out why you are a pathetic GAY numbnutz.

    [censored], you couldn't win the race "up n down the pillow case".

    Any dork who thinks 40 minutes of running is enough, is NOT a long
    distance runner, nor barely a jogger. Any real runner knows that a
    minimum of one hour per day is required for proper fitness.
    You are still at "[censored] level".

  3. Unfortunately in this case, what went up did come down.

    Nearly everyone in this forum would find your pace too easy. Try actually
    running instead of staggering around like a drunk.

  5. i acquired tendinitis running so i obviously run fast.

  6. i'm beginning to suspect that you have nothing substantive to say.

  7. Tendonitis is usually from spending too much time "on your elbows and
    knees", if you get my drift...

    You ignorant [censored]! You can get that from walking, like a wuss, as you
    have done.

    Donovan, how can you bite such a gait?

  11. It's not bait. 3.5 hrs of huffing and puffing up a mountain is much
    more painful than 40 minutes of jogging. naturally, if you just mosey
    up the mountain, it is easy but if you push yourself it is a damn
    ordeal. basically, the cardio demands are the same but the duration is
    5 times longer. the main thing is that you don't get injured hiking the
    way you do when running.

    Not really. Its just that cross-training only carries so far.
    To best be fit for a given activity is do that activity.
    I remember when I was fit enough to run marathons
    I still wasnt that great at soccer. Soccer has a difference
    cadence than running and uses some different muscles.

    Running is still a good conditioner for mountain hiking.
    Doesnt help a whole lot with altitude breathing.

    Maybe, but that's only because you're spending more time mountain climbing.

    Try 3.5hrs of running.

    It doesn't have to be. I could do a 2 hour run, and a 40 minute hike. Then
    the run is 3 times as long.

    You posted some of your times, and they didn't look very fast to me.

    Provocateur or mere troll, you'll never win the Troll Cup (a regional
    orienteering race in USA) hiking. Hiking trains the muscles differently, and
    if you check your heart rate, it usually only puts you in the mild aerobic
    zone anyway. As you know from your orienteering race in early April (the
    beginning of your troubles?), if you want to do good at such events, you've
    gotta do a hellva lot more than just hiking.

    troll boy- don't over generalize. i gave up hiking anything steep or
    over 15 miles or multi day trips because doing routes that intense was
    giving me iliotibial band friction syndrome in both knees. in addition
    to that issue, my left knee started to stick and pop after a steep
    descent and i had to baby it for a year 24/7.

    have a nice troll,

    A pair of Lekis is magical relief in these conditions.

    You might try either massage or stretching as well as strengthening
    exercises for ITB and knees. My PT has found a couple things with me and
    gave me suggestions to steer me away from potential injury.

    As Dave mentions, poles work nicely also, although I've only used mine
    for stability on ice so far, which is why I got them. I do see lots of
    people using them both on ice and downhills.

    He just needs to run to the top - no need to split the two sports,
    unless it's over about 40-50% slopes.
    (for non-trolls, don't try this at home without building up to it, but
    there are people up here that can run 40%+ slopes for short distances,
    although 20-30% is the more usual slope)

  19. We at The Springfield Harriers had quite a chuckle when we looked up
    his times.

  20. You are STILL a punk! I would've jogged that mountain.
