In terms of running talent, the second brother is quite outstanding. The second brother was weak since childhood, born with short legs, clumsy gait and slow movements. If he runs slower than anyone else, he will certainly surpass most people. When I graduated from junior college, the physical examination for boys was running. After trying three times and failing to reach the standard, I threw the shot and barely passed. I vaguely remember that the shot put was a physical test for girls, so it can be seen that the teachers of that era were quite considerate and tolerant, and the PE teachers were particularly amiable. I wish the teachers a long and happy life!

A few years ago, my second brother was in a low state, and he was sad and listless all day. One ran for five years and ran for more than 10,000 yuan. He couldn't stand it any longer, inciting the second brother: Run with me! Second brother said yes, yes ... no action. I ran for about 1 month from childhood and gave me 1 pair of running shoes. Under the double temptation of spirit and material, I succeeded in getting my second brother.

On May 20 19, 50 years old1August, my second brother started running.

I ran 500 meters and ran into a dog panting. Take a walk, take a deep breath, then run, or gasp at a dog. Run wildly for half a month and complete the first 3 kilometers; I ran randomly for half a month, from 5 km to 7 km; Then, I got hurt and stopped. Small question: Did you stretch it?

What is stretching? After the injury, the confused second brother had to think about this question with his brain: what is stretching? What is running? How to run better? How to avoid injury?

2065438+June 2009, the second brother began to learn to run.

So, what is running?

Sweating is part of running.

Some people say that running does not sweat? Yes, even if you don't sweat, can you still call it running? Be sure to sweat. Sweat comes from our bodies. Sweating accelerates body fluid circulation and promotes metabolism. Most of the waste discharged with sweat is excess garbage from the body.

There are two kinds of perspiration, one is passive perspiration, such as eating Chili; One is active perspiration, such as running. It is said that active perspiration is more beneficial to health than passive perspiration. Who says not? In most cases, initiative is good.

Of course, sweating will also cool the body. In fact, the human body is an "adaptive ecosystem", which can handle almost everything quietly without peripherals. That's awesome! Please trust our bodies.

Breathing is part of running.

When the second brother became a dog panting, he knew nothing about running, nor did he know how to breathe during running, what was the running rhythm and what was abdominal breathing. Running and running, the second brother heard his unhurried breathing and stepped on his own pace.

Here, let me give you a subtitle: Is fat consumed by sweating or breathing? Multiple choice question ... sweating? It will be wrong to distribute sub-questions! Go out and run 10 km back.

Breathe, of course! The human body inhales oxygen, which decomposes fat into carbon dioxide and water through oxidation reaction and excretes it. Sweating is the circulation of body fluids, and breathing is the circulation of oxygen.

So, can you promote fat decomposition as long as you breathe more? Don't be naive if you want to lose weight while lying down! Spontaneous breathing consumes very little fat. If you want to burn fat faster, run!

Of course, the breathing rhythm can be changed, just like the running rhythm.

Stretching is part of running.

Don't stretch and don't run. Stretching is an important and necessary running process, the minimum respect for running and the etiquette of running. For example, entering the door is a ritual sense of singing, cheerleading is a ritual sense of basketball, prayer is a ritual sense of Christians, and stretching is a ritual sense of running.

I started running without stretching, my body didn't warm up, I accidentally got hurt, and I turned my head to blame running. Doesn't make sense to you? The old driver pays attention to preheating when sending the car! No foreplay? Not stretching before running shows that you are impolite to yourself; You don't stretch after running, which means you are very casual with yourself.

As for the function, effect and method of stretching, second brother need not go into details. In the era of information explosion, network information is everywhere, you can collect it yourself!

Of course, you can stretch without running, and you should stretch. Lesbians are easier! Lesbians are softer Lesbians are happier! Lesbians are healthier!

Pain is part of running.

Running a honeymoon, with the pain of 1. I'm trying the third 7 km, and I have a sharp pain in the back of my right calf. I can't continue at all, so I have to walk home. The sharp pain made the second brother understand one thing: running is not as simple as it seems.

Do you want to keep running? Yes, I'm just addicted. Check the information quickly and make up all kinds of running knowledge. I soon understood one thing: with my second brother's small size and age, plus the "good habit" of not exercising for many years, it is absolutely impossible to breathe from 500 meters to 7 kilometers in a month without being injured. Second brother is also a wife, too "white"!

I ran three times and failed, so I had to take a walk in the park to see the vigorous posture of those who ran freely, envious and jealous, wishing I could have a pair of charming palms. After two and a half months, resume running after injury, starting from 5 kilometers, with a pace of 7 points+. I will warm up before running and do the whole set after cold running. Have you learned your lesson?

Still get hurt. Despite the full set of stretching, the pain is inevitable. The last injury was at the end of May 2020. After running for four days, I pulled my left achilles tendon. How can you be healthy without suffering? The weaker, the stronger (I am weak, then I am strong). I can still run. I'm still raising.

It is said that most runners will get hurt. You can't blame the runner. Running can create pain, reveal pain and cure pain. Run Jun sternly accused Xiao Er of lumbar disc herniation and took time off to cure Xiao Er's obturator internus.

Of course, it takes persistence to run hard and wisdom to stop. The best running is knowing when to run and when to stop. Adequate rest can get better running results. Rest is also part of running.

Strength is part of running.

Like many sports, strength is the foundation of running.

If you don't have enough strength, you will usually get hurt, even if you can't run fast. But who doesn't want to run faster? Running faster and farther is an instinctive impulse of human beings, which is caused by genes. There was a time when my second brother tried his best to run every time, and I couldn't wait to brush a PB every day. That's stupid, but I just can't help it.

Like many sports, running is a combination of strength and skill.

While stepping up strength exercises. Skipping rope, squatting, flatbed, buttock bridge, push-ups, lunges, one-legged hard pulling … Try all kinds of exercises, no matter whether the effect is good or not, and practice when you have time. Through practice, I learned about gastrocnemius, soleus, hamstring, quadriceps femoris, tensor fascia lata, piriformis, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, iliopsoas, rectus abdominis, trapezius ... all kinds of muscles, as well as various joints, tendons and bones. Forced by life, the second brother of the liberal arts student became a barefoot doctor in the rehabilitation department.

At the same time, practice the rational use of strength. That is running skills! That is, running posture! Look ahead, relax your shoulders, swing your arms naturally, tighten your core, bend your knees slightly, speed up your steps, reduce your stride, land your forehand, and so on. One day, at a certain stage, the second brother selectively ignored the existence of legs and feet, focused his thoughts on the core parts of his body, and instantly felt a lot lighter and easier to walk. Do you believe me?

Of course, if you can forget things and me, so that you forget the passage of time, you can keep running lightly. Perhaps, no self is the source of strength!

Equipment is part of running.

Life is inherently painful. Even if not, there will always be some difficult moments in life. Running is a demanding task, infinitely close to the essence of life. So some people try to fight the pain of life with the pain of running. Although there is joy in pain, those runners who enjoy it need some equipment, or they can avoid some pain and alleviate some pain.

Running is the armor of the second brother, and the equipment is the armor of the runner.

Equipment is important, or it may not be that important. Speaking of importance, running shoes that fit the feet are essential. You'd better buy an extra pair before changing. It doesn't matter. Can't you run without equipment? Some people don't run for days, and the shopping cart is full of all kinds of equipment, from brand running shoes to sweat-absorbing hair to armed teeth. As for it? I hope you can use it. Second brother's equipment is quite simple. Besides running shoes, there are only quick-drying clothes, sports watches and Bluetooth headsets.

Of course, you can still run without professional equipment, and equipment is at most another ritual feeling of running. However, the second brother reiterated that running shoes that fit the feet are essential. And love may be the best equipment.

Happiness is part of running.

Happiness is the welfare of running. Running on the road will really make you feel happy. On the eve of honeymoon, the second brother fell down for the first time and took the road of no return.

On the night of May, the climate is warm, neon lights are flashing, street lamps are bright and the road surface is smooth. The world is so beautiful, the second brother runs along the path by the lake with one foot deep and one foot shallow, looking like he has no love, a little disappointed, a little inappropriate but involuntarily. After running for more than two kilometers, I felt a strange but long-awaited feeling of coming uninvited. My legs and feet became light and powerful, my mind became fresh and transparent, my mind became clear, I suddenly became clear, facing the sea, and spring blossomed ... It was great! In heaven!

Why is this happening? It is said to be related to endorphins and dopamine. Those professional topics, such as the origin of species, gene evolution, neurotransmitters and reward mechanism, are just a liberal arts student. Don't make a fool of yourself! What's more, this is an era of "knowing what it is, asking less why". Say something else.

-running is a thing that can get a sense of accomplishment. There are too many things in life that are fruitless or futile. "The beauty of sports is that you can see the results of your own efforts." This sentence is copied from Han Han.

-running is a process of taking pains and having fun. All suffering and pain are self-inflicted, voluntary, self-inflicted, without any reluctance or complaint. The happiness brought by running is a very personal experience. Different people have different opinions, so run and cherish it!

-Running is a process of letting go. Put down your coat, sweat, fat, anxiety, anger, desire, secular disputes and troubles, and walk ahead unhurriedly.

-Running is the process of lighting yourself up. Running can change the outside. The second brother ran for half a year, and they said: thin, strong and energetic! The second brother secretly looked in the mirror for a while: Q-shaped skin and bright eyes. Well, not bad! Tell the truth, narcissism is a disease and can be cured.

-running is a process of taking static while moving. Running can keep mental health. As long as you are willing, you can feel the evening breeze or morning clothes while running, listen to your own breathing and feel the power of tranquility. When you move, you are quiet, and when you are quiet, you are blessed. Who copied this sentence?

Music may be part of running. Running and listening to music can reduce fatigue, enhance endurance and enhance pleasure. To be on the safe side, the earphone sound can be lower.

The euphoria of running in the morning may be stronger and more lasting. Simple personal feelings.

-not every time you run, you will have pleasure. If not, don't worry. The second brother presented a small prescription for free: Please give a thumbs-up to the oncoming runners. No matter how others react, keep doing it, and one day, you will also gain others' thumbs. There is no praise in the world. If there are more people who order, there will be praise. The praise visible to the naked eye will definitely be much bloodier than the circle of friends.

Of course, it is quite meaningless to give too much meaning to runners. Too much meaning is meaningless! Second brother wants to talk too much about soul, rebuilding life and managing philosophy (see photo). Why not make running pure? Running is running. Run if you like. I don't like it. Try it a few more times, maybe I'll like it.

Of course, the best running either evolves step by step or lets go step by step.

Sweat, breathing, stretching, pain, strength, equipment and pleasure are all part of running.

Running is a part of life.
