"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

No!!!!!!!! It will get your cardio vascular system in condition, however you will not be a better runner. You are working different muscles, to get better at running....the only thing that will get you faster, and give you more endurance is running and lifting weights.

It doesn't help....I thought the same thing about a year ago and found out the hard way! My cardio was good, but when I came back to football to start out two-a-days I wasn't any faster!

If your talking about spring squats, lunges, dead lifting, bounding, plyometrics at low reps is how you get faster! Spring in a combination of reaction time to the gun, power from the block or starting area, then around 40 yards your spring, after 40 its more of hold the sprinting speed! With endurance running, squating, lunges, bounding and plyometrics doing high reps is the way to go!
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

If you want a cheap way of getting more speed.
Two words:
hill sprints
They suck i know, but it's a good way to get explosive power off the blocks.
If you want a running program there are some good AIS sites i know. But if in doubt talk to ur coach, ok bloke?

im looking for ways to get faster speed for two and five miles. not sprints. its probably ust an endurance issue. im gonna do about 8 miles a day this summer. which leads me to a question. is cardio the same as weights where you need to rest and do it every other day or so. or can you do it every day

How serious are you for those distances?

Is there a meet up ahead which you are planning for?

Go get some info!
i personally don't know because i'm a 800m runner. There are plenty of places where you can get reasonable info, but to get the great stuff you have to fork out some money.
In short, yes you do need to rest in cardio work or else you risk overtraining (the overwhelming tired feeling) and injury.
A friend of mine used to say if you don't train for 3 or 4 days you start to lose fitness. he was a state rep for race walking so he may have known what he was talking about.
Usually you train hard and ease off closer to the event like starting running 10miles and as you get closer to the meet reducing distance to closer to race length but running quicker.
Cheers

I have heard sprints will increase your over all long distance speed...
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
