“Yeah, I run a lot. I run quite a bit. I get up in the morning, I run.” Eminem says of his current routine that helps him stay in shape. It wasn’t always this way, though. “I was running twice a day for a little while. I was running, I was – there was one point where I was running, like, it was a little too much, it was a little extreme. It was a total of 17 miles.


I know this debate for and against running has been had before but come on, look at the kind of shape it got him in. Cant argue with results.

Maybe not, but i still believe that as part of a well balanced training program that it does help. Too many people have successfully used running over the years for it to just be dismissed by some new research. Science is constantly changing its mind and contradicting itself. And then there's theory's like string theory which, based on my admittedly limited knowledge is solely based on theory with no real world application to it. .

Yea he ain't just running, even though those pictures were super small I can see his body and he doesn't just run.

Maybe running to his local steroid dealer?

The guys worth what $200mil or something? possibly more and your telling me he doesn't have access to the best sports supps money can buy?

He weighs like 175 pound so i doubt it, i know guys who are older and have never used drugs. U cant just assume anyone who looks good is taking something.

yea but hes also american, seems if u go to a gym in america u take steroids, have a look on a american bodybuilding forum its a maaaasive culture out there....bra

gotta say what I remember he was skinny then bam he looked like he trained - personally in the time frame I recall he hadn't had enough time to put on the 1 or 2 stone of pure muscle that seemed to appear in that time - impossible to do naturally if I remember correctly, seemed to be about 1 year.

I am all for running....I still know boxers and MMA'ers who still do it as a light session to burn calories - you can't train 100% full bore all the time (even HIIT will burn you out if you do it often enough and are weight training and fight training every day - which is what the pro guys do).

For 8 mile he lost weight. Even now he's still only 175. Guys can easily be light and ripped naturaly. Big and ripped is a different matter. Anyway, love his music. Really good for motivation and focus.
