    For 1, nobody said anything about split sprints!
    and for 2, look at long distance runners, there all skinny and low muscled!

    sonia o sullivan been 1 example.

    Running will not build muscle, as i already stated (unless your a genetic freak)

    Your wrong, and on a negative calorie diet you would not gain either so there is lots of truths been left out here.

    +1

    the whole time i read this thread i was picturing sonia o sullivan :pac:

    anyone who thinks sprinting/running builds muscle hasnt a clue what there talking about

    bodybuilders do f*ck all cardio for a reason

    way too many people who think they know what there saying, but giving people completely the wrong info on this forum

    cardio is catabolic. simple as

    Tom Seabourne, who has a doctorate in exercise science. "They're all muscle from sprinting, using ATP [adenosine triphosphate] as their energy source." Sprinting recruits fast-twitch muscle fibers; slower running does not. If your goal is to increase the muscle mass in your legs, then include a day or two of sprint training each week

    A clueless doctorate in exercise science.

    they hand these things out to anyone these days :mad:

    yes by sprinting 100 metres in 15 seconds. do you honestly think if you or i went out sprinting we would build much muscle?

    our version of sprinting and hussain bolts version of sprinting are slightly different :D

    Well now we're talking about two different things - does running build muscle vs did the OP built muscle and this it the cause of her 'weight gain'.

    The answer to the latter is no - as we've said. Re the former - of course you can build some muscle while running - any stress placed on muscle that is sufficient to trigger adaptation will results in muscle gain - but this is when someone starts off doing it for the first time - newbie type 'gains'.

    Also - recruiting fast-twitch muscle fibres does not necessarily equal building muscle.

    *shurg*

    I don't claim to be an expert, I didn't think one had to be to post.

    I definitely gained some muscle when starting out maybe it was newbie type gains, but I was under the assumption from the poster's post she was only running a few weeks and would be seeing those gains.

    But as you mentioned for me anyway it might have been the muscle's just hardening up and having more definition with weight loss.

    crazy idea. why dont we try help the OP rather than argueing?

    this thread is getting funny at this stage. :D

    i think we need more info from the OP to be honest

    fact is theres a lot of different reasons why she could have gained 5 pounds.

    Ya see, one is just taking an interest, and one is just being a tool. Which category do you think you fell into?

    Rio1... any news. Are you still keeping up the training?

    Ok my weight definitely went up a few pounds for a week or two & seems to be going the other way now.
    Definitely can run/jog longer so am seeing some fitness results. Enjoying this running malarky, apart from the sore knees & hips :mad:

    ++1 to that - a lot of people underestimate their calorie intake .. A tough weights session followed by say 30 mins of hard cardio would have a huge calorie burn if your working your ass off ..
