And even then, not necessarily. I have barely visible calves. People who run long distances aren't bulky at all and you get bulky from doing A LOT of heavy weights. You don't have to go to the gym if you're happy with the pace you're running at and you're not planning on racing at some marathon or something soon. <BR/><BR/>Having said all that, I'm pleased to announce that I can still outsprint my school athletes more than a decade younger than I over the hundred metres. :)And I don't gym, at all.Ondinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08486356326673266056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1117120939335691832005-05-26T11:22:00.000-04:002005-05-26T11:22:00.000-04:00I've just consulted the husband, who says, tersely...I've just consulted <A HREF="http://terseandatlarge.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">the husband</A>, who says, tersely: "Yeah --- depends on your running posture or style."<BR/><BR/>Argh.

If you only run and do nothing else, your muscles get used and toned but don't necessarily get any stronger, so when you push it even harder, it begins to complain. That's why athletes always supplement running with weights training. That's where the strength is built. Gym, pilates, all those strength building exercises will help you break the half hour, under 5 km barrier. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps. :)Ondinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08486356326673266056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1117036236059112902005-05-25T11:50:00.000-04:002005-05-25T11:50:00.000-04:00Nobody seems to understand my logic of running, an...Nobody seems to understand my logic of running, and then going drinking/eating the next day, and then running the day after... I try to tell them so that it becomes a zero sum game, rather than a plus plus game... but they still wonder why I bother!!! Finally, someone who shares my logic!!!<BR/><BR/>On another note, I can't seem to get past 4.8 km in 30 min. The legs just won't move any faster. And the more I run, the worse it gets. Shin starts to hurt etc. How ah?Little Miss Drinkalothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15161014305021810660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1117002234667847572005-05-25T02:23:00.000-04:002005-05-25T02:23:00.000-04:00"bak chor mee"!!! must get me some in my tum!!!"bak chor mee"!!! must get me some in my tum!!!儒https://www.blogger.com/profile/15245047481382161439noreply@blogger.com
