My First Time |
|
That's right, at age 25, I've decided to learn how to run. Some people are naturally good runners and other have to work at it. I'm a level below that where I can barely run a mile. So instead of believing I need to work harder, I've decided I must be running wrong. Whether it's my breathing, my stride, my shoes, something clearly has to be wrong. How do I learn to run? Read a book of course. Running for Dummies and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Running were both checked out so I went for two other books that sound equally enlightening. Today I began reading Runner's World Complete Book of Beginning Running. I learned my stride and posture is current, but it could be my eating schedule that's holding me back. I eat when I'm hungry (which is quite often), but apparently you're supposed to eat two hours before you run. I also needs some sweet running shoes. I'm currently wearing some athletic shoe from Kohl's. I've never had real, nice running shoes so maybe those will help. I also believe positive thinking has a lot to do with it. Hopefully, once I stop hating running and start thinking positively, it won't be so bad. Hopefully that's soon too because I really need to be able to run more than one mile for the Tough Mudder, more like 7-10 miles. Needless to say, I have much more to read on my journey of learning to run.
