10km daily is my bare minimum.Granted during winter I walk some part of it, up to 30-40% or even more because i need my body to slowly adjust to cold temps.This is especially true for sub 8-10C and almost mandatory for <0C(sometimes i don't need to, due to the godly cold showers).
Any physical activity is good at the end of the day.For those who want a 'scientific' explanation: during movement (eg walking) the amygdala "turns off", and you become more relaxed, because that's responsible for emotions.For the rest,take it for granted: better pump for the entire day, you don't feel jittery after coffee, and you actually don't feel the need to eat as much.(as in frequency, you might want to eat more but fewer times during the day)
- notacoward 5y ago> 30-40% or even more because i need my body to slowly adjust to cold That seems weird to me. I find that as it gets colder my inclination is to go faster. I regularly go out in -5°C; after no more than 5km or so my hat and gloves are off, and not too long after that I'm wishing I could take off more without being indecent. It's in the summer that I need more breaks. It's an unending source of wonder how differently people can react to the same conditions.
- sebow 5y agoWell depends on how much i want to run, that adjustment period i usually take for setting a deeper & slower breathing tempo which helps with energy during longer runs(i think some may call this trying to avoid 'negative energy' in endurance terms).I have the same reaction usually with colder temps: go faster->higher blood flow->feel less cold.I also do more breaks in summer,it's definitely worse.I guess my lower BMI & generally less time for recovery immediately after are the main reasons for these changes.
