Title: Effects of Running PROS

Today I am here to share with you the effects of not taking care of your health. What running and working out daily with the right diet and sleep will do for you. Many people are looking for motivation in a bottle or depend on a buddy. What happens when you buddy cancels out on you repeatly. You need to depend on yourself. You can do this you don’t need someone to motivate you it’s all in your head.
The spirit of this journey lies in you. You are in control of your own journey. I say all of things due to the mental toughness that running takes. There will be times when your body says stop and your mind says go. You will find out inside yourself what you are capable of. Everyone has limits and goals. You will find out what you can do. There is not drink or gym that will make you motivate yourself to workout unless you do it. Running is hard but it’s mind over body once you train and prepare your body.
I do realize the mind and body doesn’t work hand and at times. That’s why you are going to condition yourself to achieve that goal. The input will be hard at first to get into the mode of a healthy lifestyle.
On the other side the rewards of a health body are worth more than the struggles to get there. Starting today is the time NOW! Don’t wait for tomorrow and yesterday has come and gone – START RIGHT NOW. In my view running is the best cardio you can do. Running with the proper diet will get you the fastest and best results.
Let’s discuss starting day 1. You will need to do out and get a pair of running shoes that works for you.
Being cheap and saving money on a pair of shoes is not always the best. Many times cheap is not going feel right on your feet. Or shoes that look great hurt. When you’re in that moment of your Try on several pairs remember these two feet hold up the whole frame of your body. Look at the shoes as shock absorbers and pillow of cushion. You will know the difference when you start running and you get a huge blister on the back of your one of your toes. I work with several people run in shoes they got some a yard sale in the 1980’s. I always tell them you will pay for cheap in the end. The coolest looking shoes don’t give you any advantage if they don’t feel right. One of my co-workers thinking that it would give some huge advantage found out the hard way. Nothing makes up for blood, sweat, and tears. A great pair of shoes is only one the things that will help you. It doesn’t buy instant work on the road to getting yourself to a comfortable pace to running.
Very painful and not the way you want to start off on your goal to a healthy lifestyle. Once you find the right shoes for you. The next thing you need is get running socks. Look for actually sheer thin socks. This will help you from getting a blister too. Thick cushy socks will bend up in your sock and cause the blisters to start forming. Like I mentioned earlier cheap is not always good. So many times I have talked to people about buying shoes. Most people want to go for the cheap shoes that look great. Comfort is you ally and you are going to support your frame why wouldn’t you want comfort. Don’t wait till your 6 miles into the start of your training to find out the hard way. Great Shoes and socks are key I repeat.
Now that you have gone through the process of selecting the foot wear. Clothing is the next option depending where you live is what you wear. Warm and light wear loose fitting. Some of prefer to be cool running. I prefer both to look great is feeling great. I actually like to start off with layers I like to run hot at first than usually pull off layers. After that I go into cool down mode and feel the most comfortable. I like the Nike Combat Wear very light, but keep you warm and cool at the same time.
Having a comfortable body temp is comfortable. I remember growing up and every adult would tell you to put a jacket on. Was that really the wise choice were you getting sick from less clothing or over? heated? On a side note for years I have always walked out quick to do something barefooted and ran back in the house. Another Mom thing it’s wet outside put shoes on your going to get sick. Is that really true
I never remember getting sick walking on the wet driveway with no shoes. Switching topic on adding equipment to your journey for running. I recommend getting GPS tracker so you can track your progression how far you are running. Once again a huge market of never ending products of device when it’s come to picking a GPS. I use the Nike+ TomTom simple and it works great. I found when I started to run I wanted to know how far I was going. It’s kind of of mental thing for me to take a look at my watch every so often to get my stats. The nice things about the Nike+ TomTom the software is great lots of details once you load on to the site. Where you have run and all the details of your runs. It has the time and places. You can set up your own goals. When I first started to run earlier this year it helped me get over the hump. There is a detailed grid of where you have been. Looking to see where you have run can keep you motivated. . Places to run well for one where it is safe. I like to run in the open busy area or by the ocean. I have run courses that I have driven several times. It’s amazing what you notice when your closer to the street/road. Day of your run to your first week of running you want to keep it short depending on how you feel. Make a goal a mile then every week add a ½ mile or 1 mile. Make it fun and challenging. Create your own motivation from a start point to an end point. You control the flow where and when you run. Remember to stretch and drink water up to hours of your run when possible.
Look at your body as a car it needs fuel, and tires. Your Body is the same be nice to it. Take care it give it what it needs to run smoothly and efficiently. Decide what your ultimate goal is going to be. 5 days a week is a great start. You will find out that the more you run the easier it will get over time. I run with music some people love the silence.
Get a music player: MP3, IPOD, or whatever works for you. The best player is the IPOD easy, lots of choices and you can purchase them all over. With Apple taking over the world most of do enjoy the IPOD. ITunes for the software you can create playlist for yourself. Depending on what motivates you. The IPod has a great battery life. I have been trying out the MOTACTV with has everything in it: music, GPS, Heart monitor, wireless Bluetooth head set. The drawback is the battery is killed by all these devices going on at the same time. You’re probably looking at a fully charged rate use of 1 hour 15 minutes.
Ok so let’s do a recap: shoes, clothing, GPS watch, IPOD, and a place to start running. Eating try to stay away from coffee, milk products, and heavy food. Eat bagels which are great running food. Some fruit or something too filling. Drink lots of water. If I do go on a run longer than 4 miles I usually have a water belt on. Stay away from acid type fruits. You’ll just to see what your body feels comfortable with. It’s different for everyone. They say that runners are these different types of animals. I feel they are elite bunch of sizes and shapes. You don’t have to be super lean or skinny to be a great runner. It’s all mental and body mechanics. When I run I usually get in the zones a few miles later and go into this deep though. Everybody walks but to run you have to do better than that. What inspires each and every one of us?
Every one of us inside is something different. Just from my own experiences that it everything needs to line up.
Many times people use the excuse of what they use to be instead of what they can be today. We are all fighting age and it’s hard. Go out there give it your best. Things to add once you have started running.
After a few weeks and during you will be sore pace yourself. Just remember how you got here and what are your goals to push yourself further? Keeping your body healthy and your mind are mandatory to living a quality life. Looking back in time we are living a better life and longer. If we can all just stay away from fast food. Modern medicine is playing a role of helping us. There is no better weight loss program if you’re eating right and running with the right amount of rest you are on your way. They say that runners high is addicting. I am here to tell you it is so true. It just takes you and pushed you. When you get into the zone you can keep going if everything is working. Never give up on your goal to running and you can do it. Many of us give up before we try. Failure is not falling down but refusing to get back up.
