I just ran on a path in the bushes this morning and i just realized.
I passed near a field whom the owner didnt cut the grass since the winter, even if you remove the rocks, the holes and the leveled ground, (the field was level and probably without too much holes) all those things which dont happen in nature, the grass was still so fucking dense, atleast 50-60 cm tall, and there was so much thistle and wierd looking herbs, i thought " how the fucking hell are you supposed to run through this mess?"
i'm not even talking about the lacerated calves, but the fact that you wouldnt even go fast by running with high knees
he's saying we aren't built for running in the wild lands like cavemen style. no we aren't, animals mog us in just running speed and agility in dense territory. but that's why we developed fucking weapons
Nicholas Gutierrez
>and im talking about france, not the jungle The word you're looking for is savannah

It sounds like he's crying that someone didn't cut their grass

Humans are built for sprinting, it's why we have anaerobic capabilities. What we're not built for is like 400-1600m or anything over 2 hours without refueling. The people who run those distances have to ignore their body yelling at them to stop.
whats wrong with this? I do it all the time at home, especially going up the stairs and growling Im not a weirdo who films it though
Hudson Bennett
rofl holy shit
Kevin Ward
>what we're not built for is long distance We are literally the best long distance runners on the planet. We used to hunt by simply chasing down animals until they collapsed from exhaustion and we just poked them to death as they lay there entirely unable to move. What an American post.

American education. Weapons are not going to help you kill a deer, cow or pig running in the opposite direction. Early humans had an advantage by becoming long distance runners. The Masai still do it today. Animals can sprint but they don't moderate their pace like clever humans can. Prehistoric humans would chase their prey over long distances until the animal would tire themselves out, ultimately being caught by the better LDR conditioned hunters.
Sprinting was only a thing for defence or for a small proportion of the hunt.
Austin James
It's not pace moderation that gets animals killed. It's sweat. Us being able to sweat is the difference maker.
we have actually built to run long distance, we're certainly the animal with the best endurance on earth all thanks to our superior sweating system, that's how our ancestors hunted back then the animals they pursued, they had to rest while humans could keep tracking them down during hours without being exhausted and with the domestication of dogs no animals could escape our stomachs
Aiden Gutierrez
Seems to me the Earth isn't built for sprinting on it. This is just proof we came from Mars or some other planet where it's just dust and is ideal for sprinting
Gabriel Lopez

Bentley Wood
It's an American and a """french""" negro. What did you expect?
Jace Brooks
by you running there you made a path, so the next time you or someone else runs there it will be easier every time
hence the earth needs to be explored
Aiden Bailey
You have it completely backwards. We were persistence hunters. We were literally built to last longer than any other land animal so we could just follow prey at a jogging pace for miles upon miles until it collapsed from exhaustion where we could just walk up and start eating it. No other land animal on the planet can cover as much ground in as short amount of time as humans. Our ultramarathoners are mountains and leagues above the next closest animal. It's the one feature our species had as 'best in the world' until our intelligence exploded in areas other than our native spatial tracking brilliance.
Brody Adams
That's a big factor yes, but c'mon now prey animals have no pace moderation when instinctively running from predators you're being stubbornly thick saying that.
Jaxson Cook
not now boner
Nathan Morgan
No, I'm being objectively correct when I say that sweat is the difference maker, you spastic leaf.
Kevin Fisher
>It's an American and a """french""" negro. What did you expect? >A dozen other flags
Easton Bell

Michael Cox
I'm not comparing us to other animals, I'm talking about our physical limits. Sprinting full out for more than ~30 seconds results in lactic acid build up. Running at a fast long distance pace for more than 2 hours without refueling results in glycogen depletion. Long distance runners have to ingest carbohydrates during a race to avoid that, and middle distance runners just have to live with the pain of lactic acid. Sprinters on the other hand don't have any biological functions telling them to stop.
Levi Jackson

There really isn’t any evidence for this just speculation as to why we can run so long. You wouldn’t need to chase down big game for miles. You could get plenty of protein and essential nutrients just with a slingshot and a fishing net and use far less energy.
Elijah Thomas
If you were white you'd understand this clearer.

John Carter
Have you ever sprinted? Just watch the finish line of any track meet. The sprinters are walking around just fine after their races, while the longer distance runners collapse into a heap because they were ignoring their bodies cries for mercy.
Kayden Martinez

Dominic Murphy

Xavier Gray
I didn't find anything that contradicted my point, which was that humans are built to run for up to about 2 hours before our glycogen stores run out or sprint for up to 30 seconds before lactic acid builds up.
Yank "athleteic" capabilities have skewed their perception of all physical activity, can't really blame him init lad he doesn't know any better when pic related is afternoon snack
>throwing a spear won't help you kill an animal at range >throwing weapons don't allow you to effectively increase the rate at which you can reach the target since the weapon will fly faster than you can run.

Ethan Wilson

Anthony Russell
No, you can sprint for ~30 seconds. Sprinting is an anaerobic activity that uses the limited amount of energy stored directly in your muscles. Running is an aerobic activity however. It uses the energy stored in your liver, which will last for about 2 hours.
Mason Perry
this but unironically
Cameron Williams
No evidence for this statement. Just look at left vs right. Left is emaciated, weak, looks sickly. He'd probably die after one bad season of drought or a harsh winter. You know in the original story of the "Marathon" the runner dies right? Marathon runners are immunocompromised for weeks following their race. Humans likely hunted with stealth and weapons and tracked wounded prey for maybe a few miles. Not 20+. Simply chasing an animal in the heat of day for 20 miles until it collapses is retarded and the tribes who do it today are all IQ 60 subhumans. Horses can run marathons faster than humans en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_versus_Horse_Marathon. Are you going to tell me horses evolved to chase down grass over 20 miles until the grass gave up and got tired of running? It makes no sense for running to lead to bipedalism. We became bipedal because our hands were more useful at using tools and weapons than being used to cover ground.
>that point in every argument where an american goes 'b-b-but look at this phyaical superior black man!!'
The fucking state
Andrew Cox
no it was in a plain with private gardens and fields but minus the leveling and absence of rocks etc the field was quite natural, it was not seeded with grass so there were many different plants thistles etc which looked quite tough.
it was so tall you woudl have to run knee high and you d end up with bloody calves
also i remind to others that without shoes its harder to run because you cant use the protection and the traction so you have to land softly and you have to use more power from the ass and hamstrings because you can't just "hit" the ground and use the traction, you have to land and rebound in a more vertical manner
when i ran on the path there were also a lot of holes which slowed me down considerably
i think food was already hard enough to come by, most animals are way faster than us, and in a single hole you can break your ankle after which you are basically fucked so theres no way in my mind we were built through evolution with sprinting in mind, we can go faster for a short time, but not particularly faster
i think selection was stronger on other things that happen before you get chased or how to catch preys through other ways, but even for fleeing from any predator, i dont think you d flee from anything in that fucking mess
you can read here and there that we would not run for long away from a bear, but i call bullshit, in a wild terrain with holes wild grass and all i dont think usain bolt would outrun a bear for more than a single minute, hell im not even sure he would outsprint the bear
as the forest i dont know there many things into which you can stuck you feet, i d imagine by sprinting you d hit the ground more often than not + sprinting by dodging trees holes covered by leaves humid slippery spots etc ...
Long distance running is the deepest spiritual experience you can achieve whilst sober.
We were made for this.
Adam Morales
I wonder how that vag must feel. Must be the tightest in the world from exercising in that position.

Horses and some other equines are literally the only animals that can run long distance in the heat like humans can. Kangaroos also I think.

Jacob Campbell
id like to see a video of you running like a circus horse through that tall grass, you wouldnt look very gracious
Matthew Ortiz
my theory sprinting has only recently started being selected for, as a result of human culture. in the Illiad a sprint in full bronze armor is part of the funeral games in honor of a dead hero. that's 4000 years, at the least, of sprinting as a human activity, enough for evolutionary phenomena to emerge also war. there was sprinting involved in pre modern war I would think
Matthew Smith
its not only about tall grass, like i said we have less traction and more vertical strides on real terrain, especially with shoes without spikes, even more barefooted, almost all animals run faster than us, we can fuck up our joints in a single hole that we missed or hidden below grass/leaves. also you say areas but outside it would be mostly either rocky terrain, terrain with shitty grass like that or woods, and most of the plaisn you d believe natural were leveled, with things removed from it, and planted with grass seed, but when the wild reclaim its rights you start to get shitty grass and things with thorns like the field i saw
even if theres areas in africa where you can roughly sprint it was probably more accessory than anything, but in europe (in the north of france) its not like that, so i dont believe people who migrated in europe in old times sprinted in this at all.
keep in mind that most shoes have ankle support but barefooted but with support free shoes it takes only one slip to fuck your ankle, and theres many many irregularities on wild grounds.
Jaxson Garcia
The yellow jackets have the wrong enemy. They should be targeting the grass!
>humans are built for sprinting >AND running long distances up to 2 hours That's why we have both anaerobic and aerobic systems. Watch the video, and become a little smarter today.
Colton Hall
You are, quite unironically, dumber than the nignog frog.
Dominic Wright
lad stop embarassing yourself. since according to you we are built for both sprinting and long distance running, you should try doing both so you can lose some weight
Humans evolved into bipeds on the African plains and the point of this was to get to the other tree as fast as possible before a predator got hold of them.
the predators are SO much faster than us on those grounds, and most of them CAN go on trees
Brandon Evans
Are you running from a bird?
Jordan Sanchez
Depends where their starting point is you fucking moron, you ain't going to jump out a tree if there's a band of wild dogs waiting at the bottom or a large cat in sight, you retard. Some can but it's safer then the ground. You special or something?
anyway maybe you are right about african savannah, i was just amazed by how dense and rough the field i saw looked and im pretty sure most abandoned field look like that where i live
Christopher Johnson
Na, you're definitely the special one mate. We didn't go bipedal to outsprint and out climb big cats, given that we literally can't do either of those things.
Nolan Wilson
Maybe I'm drunk but this is making me laugh way harder than it should idk
>Have you ever shot a gun Mate, I'm the proud owner of an air rifle. I shoot paper targets with it nearly every day, lol. My middle names gun, but I prefer to do my maiming with my mouth, shooting of lyrical round.
Sometimes I have dreams where I'm running after something, and to move faster I always drop to all fours and 'run' like this. I imagine it's because of that shit in your dream where you can't really move very well because your real muscles aren't responding. Anyways, loping along like this on all fours works for 'speed' in my dreams.

Do you even know what glycogen is? As far as I know, it's just sugar. If you run out of it nothing, will happen you just have to eat.
Joseph Lee
Based post. Science has lied to us.
Xavier Scott
Are you retarded? If you run out of energy you can’t expend more energy. You will hit “the wall” as marathoners call it and be completely unable to continue until you get more sugar. Unless you are in a state of nutritional Ketosis.

Jaxson Martin
Humans evolved for team work and use of weapons/tools. Your defense from big prey was your tribe. 20 brave men with spears can fuck up a bear or cougar. Most other species don’t hunt in packs other than wolves. Once we tamed them we were unstoppable. We outsourced smell and endurance to the dogs, and used our cunning and stealth to wound the prey. Some weird tribal nogs running down gazelle in the savannah isn’t relevant since they arent really human.
Michael Gonzalez
Apart from having thumbs, long-distance running is our only natural physical advantage over other animals.
Noah Cook
You need to be able to survive for a couple million years before you can unlock the tool building part of your intelligence, you tool
That's exactly why we are omnivores you mongoloid. We ate off the vegetation during the hunt.
