When it comes to running, my original intention is to lose fat and keep healthy. It is simple and direct, and requires few equipment, venues and partners. As long as you have a pair of suitable running shoes and sportswear, you can run for a while when you are in the mood.
The benefits of running
To talk about the benefits of running, George Sean explained it very well in the running Bible: "The body and mind complement each other and cannot be separated, so running is an experience of physical and mental integration, and health may only be an auxiliary function of running." Self-discipline, persistence and optimism are the greatest benefits of running.
Running can effectively eliminate negative emotions.
Now the pace of life is getting faster and faster, and the pressure of life and work is increasing dramatically. We are more likely to fall into anxiety and burnout, so we need a healthy way to eliminate this negative emotion. Dopamine and endorphins produced by the body during running can bring mental pleasure to runners and stretch their body and mind. This is definitely more effective than sleeping, brushing Tik Tok, chasing drama and playing games. For me, there is nothing unhappy that can't be solved by running 10 km. If there is, I will come back 10 km.
Running is the best way to keep your mind alone.
In the workplace, we are faced with different people and things, and most of the time after work is kidnapped by mobile phones, computers and televisions. More fragmented information is also killing our concentration, and there are few opportunities to be alone with our hearts. Our hearts need to be alone, need to be blank, and need to stay away from the noise of the world from time to time and get a short time, even if it is a moment of dialogue with our hearts. However, when running, you don't need to talk to anyone, you don't need to listen to anyone, just stare at yourself; When running, you don't need to compete with anyone, and you don't need to beat anyone. If there is, it is your past self; When running, you can think of nothing or everything. Think about confusion when you are sad, and think about happiness when you are happy.
Running makes me realize the meaning of persistence more deeply.
Choosing to run is equal to choosing to suffer. Running is hard, but it's hard to stick to it. Cultivating persistence and self-discipline is a painful journey. The charm of running is that it can make people experience extreme pain and happiness, which is also the most charming place of running. Maybe every runner is full of expectations at the beginning, and the more he runs, the more painful he is. He wanted to give up but insisted. After completing the target kilometer, the pleasure of success arises spontaneously, which will take root in his heart like a seed.
The windfall of running
In the third month of running, I finished my first half-horse race, which was a great challenge for me. In this long 2 hours and 20 minutes, I not only fell in love with running completely, but also looked at myself with a brand-new eye for the first time. Running makes me understand that no matter what I do, as long as I persist day by day, there will always be unexpected gains, which also strengthens my determination to persist in running.
Beyond yourself, always on the road.
Running is nothing more than a pair of shoes and a road. It is also a process of self-cultivation and self-exploration. I started running three years ago and accumulated more than 3,000 kilometers. I am not a great runner or athlete, but I am just trying to surpass myself yesterday. I firmly believe that life is like a marathon, and I am always on the road. ...
