Fappers can become so self-absorbed and full of themselves over the years of fapping. Ego sucks balls. NOW THIS IS SPEED:

Oh, actually I am not angry at all, so feisty seems rather out of place. Honestly, I thought we were leading a normal, mature internet conversation. I see, a tip of mine would be to use smileys if you mean something sarcastically. Sarcasm in real life is usually noticed by mimics, gesticulation and tone of voice, all of which lack in the internet. Ofc, it´s your freedom to use smileys or not. I am rather unhappy with you calling me a kid. Do you do it to insult me, undermine my reasoning as lacking in experience or do you just have a bad day? Don´t get me wrong I don´t have anything against you I just find your reaction a bit out of place. No hard feelings bro
Never stop seeing the image of yourself fully recovered. Fuel the hope, give energy to your goals and never stop believing.
About a month ago I got it in my head to start running and to run a 5k in order to help in my recovery. I was doing pretty good, running 3x a week, up to 2.5 miles, and averaging 10-11 minutes per mile, but then a minor calf injury made me stop for about a week. Then the next week my ankle starting hurting, so I took another week off. Tried again yesterday, and so far my calf and ankle don't appear to be in pain, so hopefully this is the end of beginner's injuries for me unless my technique is completely out of whack. I'm hoping to keep this up, although I've given up on the 5k. The one I wanted to run was this past weekend.
Maybe you are going too fast. If you fail pain, don´t go running the next day or next two days, no point in forcing it.
Perhaps you're right. I was increasing by 1/2 a mile each week in order to get up to a 5k, but then the injuries started happening. Monday I ran 2 miles with a slightly slower pace, and so far I just have normal soreness. I'm hoping this is simply my body adjusting to the torture of exercise since I sit on my butt all day in front of a computer.
Around the middle of last year, I was inspired to run after reading one of Haruki Murakami's books. I tried running around 3 times a week for about 3,5 km. But I too got a minor calf injury that eventually lead to a fall that bled my jaw. Still, I still got inspired to try running daily. Recently, I've been trying to run more often but with shorter duration. I've been keeping my runs under 15 minutes so I can do other exercises. I have to admit, it's a good way to deal with stress. I almost always run with music too. I kind of need it to boost my state of mind.
Yeah I've read it, actually met Christopher McDougall when he came to my city for a writer's festival earlier this year. He joined our running group for a few runs and hung out with us. Nice fellow. My goal is to run a marathon before I'm 30 so I have until August next year. If I do the 60k in November I think that counts.
What was he wearing on his feet after he really slates the modern running trainer in his book, which I'm in agreement with him 100% I've been on and off injured for the last 12 months and think alot of it is due to trainers.
I suppose I'd describe them as "running sandals". A couple of group members have followed suit and started running in them too. I wouldn't mind trying it at some stage. I don't have too many issues with injury so I'm inclined to stick with shoes - though mine are currently way too old and need replacing.
How far was your run with him? Once my injuries subside I am going to go minimal and then eventually barefoot as I have so much potential it's not good not being able to run, it's been 3 weeks and I think I'm going mad.
Went on a run today. Good thing I went early enough - the day before yesterday I went at like 8pm or so, felt masturhorny the whole day. Even edged, once or twice (without porn, only fantasizing). Sport really is a good way to redirect that physical potential. But I can only imagine what it feels like to let it bottle up inside you and release it in creative endeavors. Just... feeling anxious for the whole while, trying to channel that anxiety into something readable (if writing's your thing) and never feeling sated. Even if you've finished writing, there's no little death, only a gnawing sense of this not being enough. But it'd be a good, directed anxiety. It'd be a productive insatiability. Running relieves you of that. Any exercise does. You get a sense of completion. But I kinda get the feeling that this is also a kind of aversion technique. Maybe I just have to let it bottle up even more. I'm only on my 15th day, first time. Not even hard mode. Maybe there will come a time when running won't relieve me as completely for the whole day as it does now. As it stands, running seems the more comfortable choice of action - as opposed to trying to get used to the constant discomfort. I run because that seems easier.
Running helps, as would any exercise I imagine, but I've learned the hard way it isn't the only solution as evidenced by my 4 resets since I joined NoFap and started running. It doesn't help that I had minor injuries that derailed my progress. I know it's a good habit, and it's a way to exercise my self-discipline, but in the end it should only be one of many weapons we deploy against porn. I'm only running at most 3 times a week, so I'm not hardcore about it, but it is helping in other areas of my life, and my wife is starting to be proud of me for finally exercising. At this point any positivity I encounter can only help.
It wasn't a long run because lots of people with different skill levels wanted to come along. Probably not longer than 10ks. Let me know how you go with freeing the foot. Be interested to try it myself sometime.
man that must have been an amazing, I listened to his book on holiday and its really got me thinking of my future in running, ive done a lot of track running this year and won some medals at county level, but im injured because of it I think, I may sign up for a marathon in april or a friend is running a 50 mile run in feb which I may join him on but I have a baby due in Feb, not sure what the wife would say, how long have you been running for?
