| Hey, to all you mass monsters and beautiful people-> I have confirmed it. Whey Protien (multiple brands) can be had at decent prices in the undergrond market of Namdaemun, I bought 5 K's of prolab for 40.000 (price is $30 in the states). Aslo they sell L-glutamine, Aminos, and creatine. Check them out! Note, please check the expiry dates. They are usually printed on the case. |
Is that at the Soong rae moon import market? Did you happen to see what Myoplex is going for there? |

If you've got a contact on the Army base you'll be able to get supplements for dead cheap (i.e. under 20K). Otherwise, yeah, Namdaemun's your best shot. |

The cheapest 42-pack of Myoplex that I can find is for 88K on a Korean site. My gym quotes 120K, and I read elsewhere that the Namdaemun guy used to charge around 100K, but that was 2 years ago. And I wish the protein bars weren't so friggin expensive. 
On this note, anyone ever price out low-fat cottage cheese anywhere? Forgot to check at Hannam, last trip.

I'm looking to get in shape, but in a different way from before. I want to start sprinting, or doing sprints. My sister does them. What benefits do sprints have compared to jogging?
I'm getting tired of jogging. It doesn't get my heart going, is hard on the hip joints and knees. I don't feel that 'runner's hight' either. Do you think sprints are a good way to keep in shape, or better than jogging? |
Sprints will work fast-twitch muscle fibers more than jogging will.
Sounds like you might have some injuries, but if you are healthy might I suggest running instead of jogging? Running will get your heart rate going and increase endorphines. If you are carrying some extra weight you might feel it in your legs when you run, sprint, or jog. If that is the case, slimming down should help.
I think running is a much better way to get in shape than sprinting. Also, it seems to be better for mental toughness (you don't get to stop to recover the way you do with sprinting), but also as a sort of escape as well. Sprinting never really appealed to me because it didn't give me the same kind of chance to really confront myself and get to know myself better the way that a long hard run can.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but stretching all major muscle groups in the legs after warming up and after running (or sprinting or jogging) is very important and should not be neglected. Take the time to do it properly; not only can it make running more enjoyable it can reduce your chances of injury. |

Everybody's constitution is different. I found that about 4k jogging, followed by 2k sprinting at about 90% increased my endurance in the long run. I did this three times a week, followed by about four days of 6-8k regularly jogging.
If your joints can't handle jogging or running, you should take up golf. |

You could sprint at 90% max for 2k? 
How did you accomplish this? |

Yeah, right. I was running 10 K's when my orthopedic surgeon told me not to run after a bus ever again. That was many miles of speed walking ago. Swimming is also a great exercise for those with compromised knees and joints.
And it can happen at any age. Dancing ballet on pointe did in my daughter's knees when she was 13. She was told also not to run.
Your kind of advice is exactly the worst thing to tell someone, as fitness becomes more, not less, important after a certain age. And swimming, proper weight training and yoga can help build quads adequate to protect delicate knees. |
