Why Run?
Practically...
Running is the most natural form of exercise:
- You can do it anywhere
- A minimum amount of equipment is required
- Is not dependent on any weather condition
- Anyone can do it
All you need to start your first run are a pair of running shoes, comfortable clothing and the motivation to get out the door and hit the road!
...other reasons
Running is a sport where you are only dependent on one person – yourself. It is your own motivation and discipline that makes you go running and it is you who profits from the benefits it gives you. Running will increase your pride in yourself and, soon, you will discover that you are capable of achieving more than you ever thought you could.
Running gives you time to yourself. Even if you run with others, you are essentially alone. It gives you time to think and is a sort of meditation. Most people may start running to improve their health, but many become runners for other reasons.
Running is a road to self-awareness and self-reliance. If a runner needs to have two outstanding characteristics, it’s independence and determination. When you run, you learn to face your physical and mental limitations and learn how to deal with them, get through them and become even stronger.
