ChiefsPlanet - Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread.

I have to do a fitness test for my referee grade level. We have to do a distance run, 50M sprint and 200M sprint.

I can run all day long while playing or reffing a game. But I can not run just to run.

Other than flexibility, can someone please fill me in on the benefits of yoga?

Strength, balance, stamina, meditation.

Fitness test for what? How far?

Distance running isn't really important anyway, unless you just like doing it. You get a better calorie burn from sprint/walk/sprint.

But if you're not running simply to burn calories, distance running is good.

Yeah, it's good. It just isn't as good as most other things.

Most other things being what? How are you defining the relative benefits?

The relative benefits being burning fat and building strength. Compared to something like crossfit, kettlebells, or plyo, distance running is a dog in terms of gains vs. time spent.

Distance running isn't meant to build strength, so I'm not sure why you're comparing it to resistance training programs. But distance running certainly has a place in any fitness routine. Neglect it at your own peril.

Nah, it isn't necessary. I have limited time and can get a better workout in half the time doing other things.

If you are a grade 7 or higher referee you have to do a fitness test.

I am grade 7 so I had to run at least 2200M in 12 min, 50M in 9s and 200M in 40s.

I did 2600M, 7.24s and 29.73s. I probably and should have done more for the distance but I was already exhausted from little sleep the two nights before (test was at 8am) and refereed too many games in the heat the two nights before.

On the 200M I felt a slight pop in my hip just before the finish. I feel so old now.
