On the "dark side" of running

We always talk as a result of running your health and weight in the order of an efficient way. But few people think about the fact that jogging is a downside. That's about it, we'll talk today.

Closer to 30 people are thinking about their health. Not even so: most people want to 30 finally "grow up" and do something serious as a hobby (Not yet listen to music and beer bars "killed" in the dispute). Running - employment and requires some serious investment of time, effort and even certain material (not just physical) training. Now the cult jogging - it's even better than a fan club cool American rock band, cosplay Vikings and urban car-racing together.

There are, however, in this fashion, and the reverse side of which mere mortals annoying: people who "sat" on the jogging relatively recently, no end to their spam tracking and jogging Chekina to Facebook. There also bombarded a ton of posts from various blogs on how to run "early 5000" easy and relaxed (almost on the way out of the office with a bundle of contracts in kindergarten for the favorite child). And around the newly runners begins to circulate the whole "Mountain" events, such as "free race" and "races for the fans" (this when a lot of people who think that they can run around, stepping on each other's feet, runs 3 km through the city, reminding the crowd of refugees at shelling).

Of course, the Cubs want to go to New York or Boston to participate there in the collective marathon. However, if you dig deeper, the manager of an average hand for half a day at business meetings in different companies at the center of these cities due automobile "toffees" and tight schedule of meetings for the time to run almost the same amount and for the same time as a runner this marathon.

Critics and skeptics at the same time quickly put in place the phrase "Yes, you will not last a mile!"

After such skirmishes, and often "to the dispute" novice undertakes training. Exhausting exercise, they eat up time, literally every muscle in your body aches and sore. And yet - if you are certainly not going to become a professional runner - you still need to go to work, to cope with various family chores, sleep and just deal with some their current concerns. In this crazy whirlwind it takes months. And then comes the "Day Run": day when your alarm clock "undermine" you at 5 am, because you run your first 5-10-15-20-kilometers or more.

And it's too late to retreat. All the previous months you have read Facebook, picking up applications for jogging and tracking the distance covered, to buy special shoes, trained with the help of video lessons, read books about how to run a half-marathon, Accessories and bought shorts, controlled the level of gluten, proteins and carbohydrates bother - just plunged into madness "HWL" with his head.

Moreover: for the preparation of terminally annoy you with all your relatives, friends and even colleagues at work. Now it is all up to date, how many times a week do you go to the gym, how many kilometers run through why eat chicken instead of pork, how many liters of water a day should be drunk and why shorts 10 and $ 150 - this is not the same for the runner. However, it is not important that in order to lose those extra kilograms of it would be better to run you a little more in the nature, and not dully cranking the pedals bike in a trendy gym membership to which is equal to the average monthly salary of many of your fellow citizens: you "because preparing iso all my strength. "

The sessions at the gym, incidentally, also has a "dark side". They say that before training is necessary to replenish the stock of carbohydratesBut still have to drink. And then, once you have climbed the trainer and train 10-20 minutes - you start unbearably want to "men's room" (or ladies - if you are of the fair sex). Ceased to pedal or run - and the toilet did not want to; We started - and again the same. Especially the "dark" side of this training looks, if you come into the hall, and then packed people, and costs you release an exercise bike or treadmill - like the new you will not find an hour (and sometimes more). Later you learn that - it turns out - go to the toilet too sure (so I have before a workout "Teach" your body for the new schedule, not only in terms of food, sleep mode, and training, but also in terms of visits bathrooms).

Now that you know about all the "dark side" of jogging, you may no longer seem so much brighter prospects run the first 5 km (and even in the heat). We hasten to note that the goal of our note - does not discourage you from running. Just remember: Running as a way to improve your fitness and running as an end in itself - are two different things. Professional running and marathons / triathlons - generally a separate conversation. There are enough problems with their head, and lash out at such a distance on the enthusiasm - more harmful to health than beneficial. You want to start - start with small distances with small goals, with basic training and simple with comfortable running shoes. Wardrobe racing clothes and accessories, lots of books and a furious training schedule - not the required attributes of a novice runner. Do not forget to take a run at the most important: common sense.
