PETITION for a Cardio/Running Board

Synpax

Well-known member
This training board is intended to focus on all 'training' - weight lifting and cardio/running. As a runner, I think we should have an additional board for running/cardio type training.

These are two very different types of training - there is a clear dichotomical difference, and that would merit having a seperate board.

Anyway, if you agree, please bump this post. If I can K you for it, I will.
 
good idea... not really practical on elite imo. Most guys on elite are serious lifters, not serious runners. I dont see alot posting on a running/cardio board-- but ya never know :)
 
Interesting idea, but cardio is a part of training too, so cant say I think it would be too useful. If the training forum was clogged up with cardio stuff and little lifting related subject matter, It would be worth looking into. As it is, you can search the topic of choice anyway. JMO
 
Cardio: yes. But not running. Why running? What about all other forms of cv: rowing, cycling, hiking?
Cardio board would be wicked.
 
I think it sounds great, it would be more of a "fitness" type board rather than training in regards to weights. Fitness as in cardio, (swimming, running, things like that). I used to swim competitively so I could help with things like that!

Bump!
 
i think a cardio board would be awesome!

and i agree with gaucho - not a running board, but cardio.
 
I'd support it just cos I think it would bring a lot mroe people into the fold. I have friends who I suggest the site to and they're like, nah, I'm just into running mainly.
 
Thanks for the tags. By cardio/running, I meant that running is the most common type of cardio that people do, but by all means, it is open to all types of cardio.

Walking Beast - You make a good point, yet remember, 'if you build it, they will come.'

Discussions on such a cardio board could be:
1 - Best types of training shoes
2 - Regional running clubs and race discussions
3 - Monthly training journals
4 - PR bragging for 1 mile, 3 mile, 400s, 10ks, half marathons, marathons
5 - technical discussions of techinque for rowing
6 - comparisons of the best types of road bikes and trail bikes
7 - who makes the best GPS/HRM hardware

The board could also attract sponsors who specialize in cardio type activities.
 
i think an overall cardio board would be a good thing to tryout, and if it doesnt work, oh well. but cardio is a big part of being healthy, so i think it does belong on ef.

so any news on if the board is going to happen ?

It doesn't look like it, at least not right now. Maybe later on, if the posts show a need for a new board, it might be considered.

I am going to unstick this now.

Whose decision is it?

You could email/pm ef anton, or George.

Their main concern would be that it might turn into another board that hardly gets any traffic on it.
 
Yeah I second for a cardio board. Cos even weightlifters need cardio some time. Sprints can also be a form of high intensity cardio right?
 
+ 1 for an all cardio activities forum
 
I think it is an excellent idea. I have been weight training and visiting this board for over 4 years and have learned and gained alot. This spring I have decided to run my 1st 10k. Finishing it not an issue, I want to be able to run it in under 50 minutes. I have yet to find a forum as good as Elite for runners. Training for racing and Cardio are two different things, plus this would not only be a runners forum, but also, how to combine Running, Weight Training and Dieting to achive the best of all worlds.

They have plenty of them now. What's one more?? :D

J/K ... But no one is ever gonna know unless they try it ...

Give it a trial run for a month or so. If the admin is unhappy, they can shut it down. Simple as that.
 
Ruuu...R...uu..nnn....
R...Uuu...N..a...N...ING

Running. Oh yeah! I heard of that once.

What does it mean though?

Despite my aversion to that phrase [unless there are cops or upset husbands involved], it's probabbly a good idea.
 
Running is just the principle form of cardio and the most intense (other than boxing and maybe a few others).

But the board would cover things like:
- cycling
- swimming
- speed walking
- marathons
- sprints
- spinning
- canoying/kyaking
- etc.
 
wow, how'd I miss this thread :martini:
definately, although most here can outweigh me, I can outrun you as if you were standing still !!
 
Really? Care so share your PRs?

I may not be as fast as you, but I can still say that while most here can outlift me, I can smite them something awful on the track.
 
I think you guys can stop bumping. I PM'd Anton, emailed George. No response. The fight is over.

Obviously, there are no shortages of OTHER cardio/running/etc boards out there. It's just too bad that one can't be here because there are a lot of folks here I know and trust.
 
^^
and up it soars like an eagle!
c'mon, whoever, endurance board is an asset to community - what's good about being able to lift 600lbs and look like a brick wall if you start coughing after walking a flight of stairs :o
 
^^^love hits from below :o

and sonny don't hate on BTS, grow a dick and spine and get a testosterone rise :dolphin:

Could you point me to some? I have yet to find one with the format, Member Knowledge, and size as Elite.

This could bring a new and good group of members to this site.

Yes, that's why we need it here on Elite :o
Only one endurance board I'm aware off, but most people are either radical adherents of the owner, or never venture there because they despise him :martini:
 
Count me in.

word. & add another anabolic board cause runners use different drugs :D
Click to expand...

not really, with the exception of maybe erythropoietin (procrit) and its synthetic modifications :o
 
If there were to be an anabolic board for weight lifters, and an anabolic board for cardio, there would have to be a third anabolic board for people who do both. And to perfect the permutation, an anabolic board for those who don't do cardio or lift weights.

So.... If you post that you emailed George Spellwin, and we'll get you some K.

BTW - speaking of George, did you ever wonder what he looked like? I did, so I looked around and I found him here.
 
This cardio board is definitively needed

George, please ! :)
 
won't matter....people will still bombard the diet board with cardio questions or the supplement board with sauce questions........
 
I've been tempted to post cardio type stuff many times on the training section, but was reluctant, and decided not to.. because I didn't think it would get much attention; I get the sense it's so weight lifting oriented.

If it had to replace a board... I'd say gambling and casinos :p

hehe
 
This is the reply I got.


"This issue has been discussed at length. There is not nearly enough want or need for a cardio board. Cardio and running can be discussed more than properly between the Training and the Collegiate Sports boards. The demand would have to be in the hundreds before a new board is created (this is not the case)."

Thank You,
EF Anton
Elite Fitness
 
Really? Anton didn't give me a response.

His response is sillly. HUNDREDS of people would have to sign this to make it worthwhile?


Look at all those slow moving boards. Video games hasn't had a post in over a week. Life extension, grooming, etc. are all a joke.

And it's not like it COSTS THEM ANYTHING. I've run a similar board to this. It takes about a second to set up one more board and doesn't have any additional financial costs. Hell, it's a chance to get more sponsors.

Anyway, here's the new deal.

Get three hundred different people to tag this petition. When we hit that, we will again notify the board gods. I'm not saying 300 bumps, but bumps from 300 differnet people. I'll get a count going tomorrow.
 
only reason I'm voting for the cardio board is to get you homos off the training site.......lol...kidding......I always have cardio ?'s and think it would be a solid addition.........
 
A cardio board is defenitively the next thing to do on EF
 
:rolleyes:
No. It means that there are people who, due to the absence of the Endurance Board, have no incentive so far to become permanent members of EF!
 
im all for it, i think its a good thing and may be help people who hate running and cardio with all thier guts find ways to run :) no reason there cant be with the rediculous other boards that are here.
 
So, where are we with this board ?
 
Read the new "Gangs invade..." Sticky. Soon you'll be able to start your OWN Boards (assuming this is simply a "private-topic" forum) but it will allow you to create this board if you wish. It IS seemingly a good idea to do so.
 
Just wanted to bring to the attention of mods/admins: recently, if you take notice, there have been quite a few threads relating to cardio on this board. But it shouldn't just be limited to cardio alone - an endurance board could address these concerns, and attract those who are predominantly concerned with setting pr's on the track field, swimming pool, etc rather than weight room :martini:
 
Hmm. Well, I'm an entrepreneurial type. So if they aren't going to make one, maybe I will make and host one. We can have a board for talking gear, etc. It seems most of the big hitters here (Mr. X) and others have their own board thing going on.

I could get some google adwords to help pay for it too.

Not a bad idea

So, Mr Spellwin, what do you think ?
 
Interesting....a new 'Martial Arts' board is up...

Wonder how many have begged for that...?????

Then again, I'm not plat...so who cares what I think....

(considering plat though....probably would, but my ISP is filter and this site is blocked by them as 'porn'...so I only get so view at work....hoping to upgrade to broadband soon and then I'll more than likely try it out for a few months....)
 
Replace the PL board? Why don't we free up room by killing everybody's avatar that's not involved in the truly lovely sport of PL?

Even the little german board that educated me had these to training forms seperated.
 
This is retarded that there is a martial arts board, and a platinum video game board! Who comes to a fitness site to read about video games??? Do something useful with this board instead of clogging it up, both of those boards are a waste of space IMO.

We could at least combine the cardio board with something else if it helped, but seriously, a video game board??? Get real.
 
I was a competitive runner for 8 years, after lifting for 4 years and not running I have now turned back to running again and would love a board like this at EF
 
Cardiovascular Endurance Training board.

That sounds like a kickass board I would likely visit daily.

BOOT THAT SHKIT UP!
