The after effects after a long, hard run are undeniably enjoyable. Pounding your legs releases endorphins, your happy hormones, so you will feel great. Your energy level will be a lot higher and your health will increase further the more that you run.
This is not a sport that suits everyone, but I would advise anyone to give it a go. It is very therapeutic, as a good long run really gets the air into your lungs and clears your head. Your overall health will increase greatly and those unwanted pounds will be shed.
There are various things you can do to ensure that your runs are fun and pain free. These are a few of favorites so give them a go.
First and foremost you must have food and water. These are essential to ensure you stay healthy as you are running. You need to eat so you have something to burn off and plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
There are three things that you really want to avoid while you running, dizziness, nausea and cramps. Too little food causes the first one, and too much the last two. Be sensible and your runs won't include any of these unpleasant experiences.
One thing I never leave my house without is my iPod. Having my favorite tracks in my ears as I'm running really spurs me on to reach new speeds and distances.
Running is a very lonely sport, and some good music to run to distracts you, and you don't feel as if you are running as far or as fast as you actually are. This is very beneficial and before you know it there will be more and ore songs playing as you get better at it.
The last tip I have for you is to time your runs for a time of day that suits you the best. A lot of people find that a good run in the morning sets them up for the day.
If you are one of those you finds that they feel energetic in the evenings, you may well be meant to be an evening runner, or lunchtimes might suit you best. Enjoy your running, whatever time of day it is.
