Start Running Today

Did you know that running is an activity that can increase your lifespan?

From running after your kids to full-blown marathons, running is a highly beneficial activity for your health. While so many people have taken on running to lose weight, this fun exercise can quickly become addictive. Once you start running, getting stronger and healthier, there’s no stopping. Around 97% of runners feel that their days are better when they run.

Running releases endorphins in your brain which makes you feel content. Why shouldn’t you reap the benefits of this dynamic workout?

If you are trying to improve your lifestyle, be healthier and focus your negative energy elsewhere, running may be just the thing for you. No, you don’t have to be as fast as Usain Bolt, and you are not meant to run a marathon straight away, but start somewhere and see how you do. Stretch out, grab your Nikes, and become the best version of yourself.

What are the most important things to remember before you begin running?

  • Listen to your body.
  • First of all, don’t tire yourself right from the start. Add a bit of a tempo to your walks and gradually increase speed.
  • Your body knows best when it can’t go on anymore. Take breaks and make sure you are properly hydrated.
  • Pay attention to unusual pain that gets worse when you run.
  • Find the right equipment.

  • Eat for the win.
  • Consume food rich in carbs and protein; these are your body’s fuel.
