Eight benefits and three dangers of long-term jogging
html I know my destiny at the age of 0. I have been jogging for 15 months since April last year, and I have a very direct and profound feeling about jogging. Many people who don’t run or don’t approve of running have misconceptions about running. Many friends also advised me not to run every day. It’s not suitable for long-distance running because of knee pain, sprains, etc. Summer is here, and well-meaning people say "Runners are more likely to suffer from heat stroke in summer", just like they believe that "runners are more likely to catch colds in winter".
As an "entry-level" runner who is advancing, let me talk about the actual benefits and real injuries that jogging has brought to me, and what they are:
There are at least eight benefits to jogging all year round. :
1. Promote health: "Exercise and fitness" is well known and medically proven, no need for me to say more. I just listed some of my health conditions. Within half a year of jogging, my physical fitness has improved significantly, and I can intuitively feel that I almost don’t catch a cold anymore. Since running, gout has never had an attack. It turns out that I usually have mild gout symptoms once or twice every quarter, and severe pain once a year. It used to be that I always felt uncomfortable here and there in my body, so I sought medical advice and kept pills on my desk. Now I have almost eliminated them all, and I am no longer a " pill family ".
2. Improving physical fitness: Before I started jogging, I felt bulky when climbing more than a dozen stairs. When I climbed three or four floors, I would be out of breath and my legs would feel weak. Occasionally, I would be out of breath after running after a few-year-old child for twenty or thirty meters. ; Normally walks lazily, afraid of walking, sweating, and carrying heavy weight. After running for more than a year, my leg strength has been significantly enhanced, and my leg, upper arm, and chest muscles have become more prominent. My cardiopulmonary function has become stronger. When I run at a pace of 7 or 8 minutes, I won’t be out of breath. I can make phone calls while running, and I can swim and dive. Above 10 meters, it turns out that only those who can snorkel 6 or 7 meters; as a fifty-year-old man, I thought that time flies by and youth is gone, but if I keep running for more than a year, I seem to have regained my youth and regained my youthful vitality!
3. Strengthen your will: Running, even jogging, is very difficult to do if you insist on it for a long time or even run every day, no matter it is hot or cold, windy or rainy, busy or leisurely, it requires a lot of willpower; even if It is a long-distance run of 5 kilometers, 10 kilometers, and 20 kilometers. It is not easy to persist to the end. If you are not determined, there are countless reasons to give up midway. Any "runner" who can persist in running for a long time and can persist in long-distance running is a determined person. Firm will is the basic quality for moving forward in life, striving for success, and striving for breakthroughs. No success comes easily. Success usually requires ten years of hard work and long-term success. The runner's philosophy of not being impatient, doing things according to one's ability, and making steady progress is the same as the philosophy of success.
4. Tempering character: Many people think that character is innate, or developed in childhood, and is difficult to change. For a runner, the process of exercise is actually a process of tempering, transforming, and reshaping one's own personality. Whether you are working out or losing weight, you should not be too impatient. Rushing for success will often bring harm and be counterproductive; nor should you be too docile, slow, or lazy. What is the difference between running and not running? It cannot achieve the effect of strengthening the body. If you insist on scientific and moderate running exercise for a long time, people's personalities will usually change a lot. For example, anxious people become more peaceful; irritable people become more peaceful; introverted people become more cheerful; people with low self-esteem become more cheerful. Aroused strong self-confidence; and so on.
5. Cultivate interest: Running itself is an interest that needs to be cultivated. It takes a period of time to cultivate it. Once you fall in love with it, you will not give up easily. After you taste the benefits of running, your interest in fitness will expand to swimming, cycling, skipping, or team sports such as basketball and football.Personally, I have developed a strong interest in studying running. I have improved my running skills by reading books, watching videos, and listening to lectures. As my running skills have improved, I have become interested in running marathons. This is something I could not have imagined a year ago. ! By studying running skills, I also reflected on my reading habits over the years and found that I learned too little technical knowledge and focused on theoretical knowledge. To avoid rhetoric and paper talk, I must direct my reading interests to skill learning - this is A runner has a revelation.
6. Transfer emotions: People are emotional animals, and their emotions always fluctuate. Sometimes the mood is clearer than the blue sky in summer, and sometimes there are dark clouds or even violent storms. Many psychology books and the experiences of great people tell us "don't be too emotional", "use reason to control emotions" and "don't make major decisions in an emotional state of great joy or great sadness." We generally understand this principle, but it is not easy to control our emotions or even transfer them. I use running to control, regulate and even transfer my emotions. I feel that the process of running is a process of emotional control, calming and transfer. When I feel depressed or irritable, I go for a run. After 5 or 10 kilometers, I feel tired and have figured it out, and my mood improves. When you are happy and excited, go for a run and run with enthusiasm. You will not only enjoy the joy, but also infect the people around you and share it with the spectators. You will feel better and the joy will be sustainable.
7. Learn to give up: Since I started running, I have to squeeze out 1-2 hours a day for running, fitness and washing. After all, we are in the prime of our career, and time is very precious. There is always not enough time. If the time is occupied by running, you have to increase your efficiency to make up for it or give up some non-essential activities, such as drinking and socializing, playing cards and entertainment, or reading. Reading and chatting, etc., I adjust when I need to adjust and give up when I need to give up. Over the past year, I have read less than 20 or 30 books, and I began to feel very regretful. Now that I think about it, many books may not be useful after reading them. They are really just idle books! Some things are really free things that you can do or not do. There are many times when I am still worrying about idleness and hollowness! Why bother? Isn't it great to put aside your busywork, worry less, and run more? It can not only strengthen your body but also get rid of your baggage!
8. Adjust the pace of life: After falling in love with running, I gained some insights into the "runner's philosophy" and learned more about what should be fast, what should be slow, what should be allowed and what should not be in life. And because running takes up time, my life rhythm must be adjusted. Therefore, we follow the priorities and rhythms to grasp the 24 hours, the 7 days a week, and the 30 days of the month. The rhythm and melody of life are like a song, a piano solo, and more like the Erhu song "Ten Thousands of Horses Galloping." ”, and sometimes formed choirs and symphony orchestras with family, friends, and colleagues to perform the sounds of nature that are healthy, happy, and successful in life and on the world stage.
Of course, as a beginner runner, you will also encounter injuries and hazards, mainly sports fatigue , sports injuries, and sports losses - losing the fun of playing cards, chatting, watching TV, reading novels, etc. In order to make up for the loss, I fell in love with sports Bluetooth headphones. Because of my love, I bought them again and again, buying more than a dozen types, which cost me another money. Of course, I also gained the joy of consuming, listening to lectures, and listening to music!
