Despite the confident, sometimes arrogant attitude that Jim pretends is his own, he takes this sort of thing seriously. How can he learn if he doesn't listen to people who know more than him about something? That's part of what being a starship captain is all about, and right now, he trusts Steve to know what the hell he's talking about.
He frowns a little in thought, flexing his fingers to loosen them up a bit. "So treat it more like running, basically." Can't cover the distance if you tire yourself the fuck out early on. Dial back, pace yourself, save some for later. Not exactly what he's going for when he wants to punch the shit out of the leather bag until he's too tired to think straight, but he was already pulling back from going to that kind of extreme at the moment anyway. He'd hate to work himself into collapse on a new friend's floor. He'd rather save that shit until they've known each other for a few years.
