Is just running in your backyard bad?

Again, what I said yesterday. If your yard is a farm in iowa with acres to run on, fine. You are trying to "run" on a postage stamp with constant changes of direction. Use your friggin head. Between that logic and your reading comprehension, good grief.

Thank you. Then, Kvothe shouldn't have said "Easy run - little difference in effect. Workout big difference in effect. Unless you have a giant yard."

No, he didn't assume you were an idiot and lived on a postage stamp. You should have realized you couldn't actually "run" in your yard.

Your biggest issue is your inability to see yourself being at fault. You were wrong, now go run outside.

I agree, except it's not unhealthy and beating the legs to hell. More like a basketball player jogging around on a half court.

What if he can’t go run outside? Is just running in his backyard bad?

Maybe you shouldn’t be such an idiot and take every single word literally. He probably imagined you having a yard in a spread out suburb, not some jail cell sized lot. Use some common sense, you turd.

I do live in the suburbs, however

You said your yard is 2 car lengths wide. That's the info you should've provided in the first place, then Kvothe probably would have given you a different answer. That's puny, probably even for suburb standards.

You have the reading comprehension of a 9 year old. I said “spread out suburb”, which yours clearly is not.

How long is it?

I think it's selective reading, so he can place the blame on others whenever he wants, and not be held accountable.

My backyard is around 15 meters wide

You’re not running five miles in a yard that’s 15m wide, assuming it is shorter than wide. If you are doing that, based on advice from a message board poster who has never seen your yard, you are even dumber than previously thought.

I was running for 50 minutes. I assumed I was running at a 10 minute per mile pace.

It is not funny. I was running at a heart rate of 150 BPM. I assumed since that was my easy pace and given that my mile time is 6:51, my easy run pace in my backyard should be 10 minutes per mile.

Do your milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard?

A. Never assume anything.

B. Optical heart rate (wrist watch) is notoriously inaccurate.

C. Turning slows you down.

Alright I have real work to get to. Good luck. Go run.

How am I dumb? I was running at a heart rate of 150 BPM. I assumed since that was my easy pace and given that my mile time is 6:51, my easy run pace in my backyard should be 10 minutes per mile.

Where did you do your tempo run?

I guarantee you weren't running 10 minute mile pace in your yard - especially if your 20 minute tempo on the street was 9:45 pace. They were probably more like 15 minute miles considering you have to turn tightly constantly. Your "5 mile" runs were probably more like 5 km runs.
