The essence of running is persistence, and persistence is difficult. Life is like a long-distance race, every breakthrough is a challenge to your life, and every setback is to exercise your will. When you find that every setback in life is more difficult than running, running becomes a piece of candy, giving you the belief to stick to it.
Fortunately, there are so many people in the world who share my knowledge. Many famous people in the world are also experienced runners.

Whenever they talk about why they choose to run, their explanations are similar, that is, training their self-concentration and persistence, and calming down, thinking while running and talking to themselves.
The book "Running Charlie" is a running life story, which records the growth experience of world-famous long-distance runner Charlie Engel.
Charlie Engel has been running all his life. He started with a marathon, followed by an ultra-long marathon. Thirty-five miles, fifty miles, even hundreds of miles, go deep into the barren land of the earth. He opened up his own life path with his own feet. Running not only saved his life, but also gave him a new life.
First, start a different life from running.
On an ordinary day, nothing really makes people feel energetic like running.
Running is also a simple way of exercise in life, which can not only strengthen the body and enhance human immunity, but also accelerate energy consumption, lose weight and maintain a beautiful figure curve.
When running, muscles will help blood flow through the whole body faster. The nervous system becomes active, and positive signals spread to billions of cells in the nervous system within a few minutes. Your body begins to wake up, and then you feel better and better. On the best days, you will feel real vitality.
When running, the positive hormones in the body increase obviously. Intuitive signals tell us that if we feel better, things will get better. When we run at the right pace, our whole body is laughing. At the end of the day, there will be a delay effect after running.
Or in the hot sun, or in the dark, or in the lonely morning, when running, I hear the echo of my heartbeat. Running for the light with hope. Excuse me, are there any difficulties that can stop them from moving forward?
Second, stick to a belief and run out of the width of life.
Running can temper perseverance, and you will infect many people in your life, and this perseverance will be passed on.
We have seen Forrest Gump and Forrest Gump running in the movie, and we have always adhered to a belief: "Run, run forward!" " "Just running on the road by instinct, he ran past the discrimination of his childhood classmates, the football field of the university, the jungle of Vietnam, every corner of the United States, and finally ran to the end of success and happiness in life.
Charlie in this book is such a person. He has been running all his life, trying to find something and get rid of it. Running not only helped him quit his drug addiction for ten years, but also helped him find his true self and grow into the person he wanted to be.
In 2007, Matt Damon made the film Crossing the Sahara specially for him. The film tells the story of Charlie Engel crossing the Sahara desert in11day, and he becomes the first person to run across the Sahara desert.
Charlie opened up a new life world with his own feet and lived a different life width.
Third, persistence will produce beautiful flowers.
In fact, many people also want to run there. When making running plans, they are all ambitious, and slowly they can't hold on. They will find various reasons not to finish, such as bad weather, insufficient time and being too tired. Especially in winter, crawling out of the warm bed is simply a kind of torture.
Perseverance is victory. Long-distance running is a relatively boring sport, and the ultimate victory is to stick to the end. Persistence requires willpower. If you can train according to your own plan, you can gradually cultivate willpower, which will provide motivation for long-term persistence. This is a virtuous circle process.
If you want to do something occasionally, you can call it that. If you often do something, you can call it love. If you can do one thing to the extreme all your life, you dare to call it "home" However, we are not running to break the world record, nor are we running to be "home". Instead, train your body to support mental work and improve the functional operation of all parts of your body.
As long as you keep doing it and get used to this kind of exercise, it will give this kind of exercise a pleasant reaction. Muscle has memory, and it will know your needs for the body. It will be lazy when you are lazy, and it can persist when you insist. This is also the meaning of persistence.
Any accumulation is a release process from quantitative change to qualitative change. When you persist for a day, a week, a month, half a year or a year, you may not get too many results, but when you persist for three to five years, you will definitely bloom a beautiful flower.
Stand up, put on your sneakers and go out for a run. Sprinkle your youth and erase your spiritual predicament. Let life run!
