Running slowly is not shameful, and it has no effect on your life. After all, running is for health, not for injury!
If you run slowly, you can run farther. 8 minutes pace 1 km is not shameful. This is jogging! Persistence and time will make you better!
Running is not afraid of slowness, but of worry! Fast speed is easy to cause problems! Many runners actually start from a low pace and a low distance, and no one can run very high from the beginning.
So running a kilometer in eight minutes is a normal starting speed. After all, the requirement for running at this time is only for health, not for competition, so don't worry, the running speed will increase slowly, otherwise the running injury is not far from you!
What is jogging? See!
Jogging, as the name implies, is running slowly! It is a kind of low-intensity aerobic exercise, suitable for most normal people, and runs a relatively long distance through a reasonable heart rate and rhythm to achieve the purpose of warming up or exercising.
Jogging is jogging, and walking is walking. Although the speed is the same, there are still differences. The reason why the walking speed is high is that the stride length becomes larger and the step frequency becomes higher. In addition to the above two characteristics, jogging has one of the most important differences, that is, the legs are empty when running. So jogging at the same speed consumes a little more energy.
Another point is not to compare speed with others, because your current ability is one eighth of a kilometer, which matches your physical function, which means that this is your safe speed. If you insist on increasing your speed, your endurance may be challenged, which may lead to sports injury or decreased running enthusiasm.
