What should you think about when you run long distances?
Long-distance running for most people is a rare and precious time completely your own, you do not have to communicate with others, do not care about other people's feelings, completely by yourself to enjoy this time. Many people feel that long-distance running is very boring and uninteresting, because in the long tens of minutes or even a few hours, your mind is a blank, can only be repeated to listen to their own breathing, to see their own footsteps, that is indeed very boring.
By the way, the long runs I'm talking about here are runs that last about twenty minutes or more. If you're only running for three or five minutes, then I suggest you think of nothing else, sing yourself a song and get to the end.
Most people who are just starting out with running are at this level, where their mind is full of themselves who are running.
Listen to your breathing and then adjust your breathing. The frequency of breathing should be something that each person learns on their own in practice, running a few steps a breath, how deep to breathe each time, and maybe a deep breath to adjust at what point in the run.
Count your steps and adjust your pace. Counting steps is a method I really use, and it should be especially useful for people who run repetitive laps of a track. Running the same distance with the same number of steps is actually an effective way to adjust your breathing.
Get a feel for your posture and then adjust your movements. You see athletes running on TV or actors running in the commercials, it feels very easy and easy, but when it comes to their own time to run, they feel that their legs are like lead and can't lift up. So after you run up, you can study how the body so forward, how to straighten the waist and back, how to feet on the ground, how to swing the two arms, how to make a fist with both hands.
In fact, running is not a simple thing, why many people running will be injured, first of all because of the wrong action. So when you first run, it's best to focus on your movements first, which should also be considered a work in progress.
Compared with the track in the stadium, you would prefer to run on the road or in the wild, because you can see the scenery.
The most fearful thing is to run 400 meters or 800 meters of small circle, always repeating the same scenery is boring, the unit in the courtyard of a circle is about 1800 meters, which running are too annoying. The furthest I've run is about 17 kilometers, which is a big circle with a map between a few villages and towns, and it's really a different feeling.
Stadium:
The plastic track is really different, running on it makes you feel lighter, and you want to go crazy for a while.
The stadium is full of people, so there are so many people running.
Students are also not even, how there are also adults, you should not go to the square dance?
Well, these girls are from the next college, right? They look a little bit familiar, and it's true that wearing sportswear is not the same.
How to wear a Converse to run, do not burn feet? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a pair of shoes or boots.
Who is behind you, breathing so thick, I thought who brought a cow to the stadium.
Shit, running so fast, you have the courage to stick to 3 kilometers, to show what ah.
How come everyone is overtaking me, and I'm running so slow?
The next door school is playing soccer here, and they are running around here all day long.
The first thing you need to do is to get out of the house.
The first thing you need to do is to get out of the house and get out of the house.
The breakfast stalls come out very early ah, a moment back to buy a pancake to eat.
Yesterday, I did not pay attention to the roadside trees are sprouting, I should take a picture and send a circle of friends.
The dog is so cute, I want to have a dog, what should I have?
The middle school students go to school so early, it's really hard, when our school is what time to go to morning study.
This small square is good, there are old men playing tai chi here, I do not know if I have to practice that when I grow old.
Run this road, I have never walked before, see what the street is like.
There is also a Japanese restaurant ah, look at the sign like a new look, time to see.
It turns out that the previous fruit seller moved to this ah, it seems that in the future, you have to go around a little more after work.
The fun of looking at the scenery is that every step forward may encounter a surprise, which is also the advantage of outdoor running, especially field running. I've been running for a long time without realizing it.
Of course, you can't see all the beings, but you have a thought, and the thought can go through all the things. To put it bluntly, it is not subject to what the eyes see to think about something.
Most people like to listen to songs, in fact, to fill the time with repetitive melodies. I feel that running for such a long time listening to songs, a little waste of time, why not listen to something else, like Himalaya I have listened to, listen to stories and so on. Then I realized that it's easy to get lost in listening to stories, and it's really still a matter of not thinking with your head. So I started listening to lectures, because your brain has to follow it, so your attention goes there. So for my last long run I picked a 50-minute lecture to listen to, and the time went by much faster than I thought it would.
But listening to sound is actually prone to tension and fatigue, and after an hour, it's irritating and unsafe, so it's just a matter of adjusting in other ways.
I've tried memorizing things before, like poems and ancient texts, and it's a good time to use this time to review them. Especially find some long poems and long texts, such as "Pipa Xing", "Luoshen Fu", "Diamond Sutra" and so on, it is really necessary for home travel and long-distance running ah.
In fact, thinking about problems during long-distance running requires relatively strong concentration. For example, I tried to conceptualize a short story how to write, but because of their own more tired, in fact, it is easy to get lost, need to concentrate hard to do. After all, not everyone can write Reverie of a Lonely Rambler.
Have fun and enjoy your long run.
