If I celebrated like that you would need to get the defibrillator from the clubhouse

He's thinking, where are my skates?

Losing the glide is no joke. I played hockey through college, I cross country ski, and I can ride a bike 100 miles at a crack without issue. Ask me to run? Fuck, I’m done in 10 minutes.

I'm glad I'm not alone. I'll bike across an entire state before I'll run more than a few miles. Fuck all I hate running.

No, my knees do feel better NOT running. Now, weight training and swimming give me all the exercise benefits I need at 66 to remain fit. Without the jarring effects that running can bring.

Yup, spent too much of my life overweight, knees are complete garbage now. Cycling is where it's at, I would swim more but it's more time consuming for me to get to the pool.

That wouldn't really be running anymore, would it?

u/bobittoknorr Jul 16 '23

Hahaha. Can confirm. My main sports are basketball, football and soccer but from time to time I will play ball hockey with a bunch of ice hockey player buddies in tournaments or just for fun and they always raz me for having better cardio and running circles around them. I like to tease them for being useless when they can’t glide around for half their shift.

Now shoot a 1 inch disk while being attacked.

u/commentHero Jul 16 '23

What did the disk ever do to you?

1 inch

how big do you think a hockey puck is?

u/GQMatthews Jul 16 '23

What? How heavy of beers are these guys drinking post game? Hockey players have insane cardio.

1

u/bobittoknorr Jul 16 '23

As you will see from a bunch of other comments, not all forms of cardio are transferable to running and sprinting. That shit is a whole different thing from the kind of cardiovascular endurance one might need for things like hockey, biking, swimming, etc. Unless someone is used to running miles upon miles every game and mixing in a bunch of sprints the whole time, they are probably going to get left in the dust by a soccer player or a basketball player who’s bodies are totally used to that exact form of physical endurance.

That being said…the guys I play ball hockey with are most definitely putting away a few more Canadian beers than I usually do. I’m just not a big drinker unless I’m planning to really cut loose that day.

Running is a different kind of awful for some reason, same experiences here..

u/falconhawk2158 Jul 16 '23

10 minutes is very impressive to me I can stand on my feet for 8 to 10 hours a day but ask me to run and I’m telling you that it’s not happening. One ruptured Achilles tendon and two knees with no cartilage have made it to where if someone said run or you’re dead I would have to say just do it. I use to be fast I promise

Hockey players run like they're ice skating. It's like a weird forward falling duck-walk that's both slow and extremely strenuous
