Benefits of running - Why running ?

 Long ago Persians, Greeks and Egyptians employed messengers who ran long distances to carry messages. Greek messengers ran 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to carry victory message from war field. This is one such activity which began due to necessity and later take up as a sport. Some say humans are better distance runners than most animals - although we cannot match their short distance runs. Thomas Running is a social media icon created and a subject of meme.

I am not a talented guy through out my life but I enjoyed some physical activity like Gym or Yoga or Badminton as it gave me a sense of confidence and enthusiasm but could not consistently do it. Most of the days sleep challenges me to be in couch when in rain or cold. Some time I push my clock back or set my alarm off without waking up, maybe, low motivation.

It dates back to 2018 July I was watching people walking and running around parks, roads which interested me in running. I took this running activity and gradually started to enjoy finally I was labelled as a runner.

As everyone thinks running is logistically simple with simple gears. Get a pair of shoes, shorts and t-shirt, come out of your apartment and start running. Yes its simple. Some times physically it can be challenging more than any other sports. My weight was 82 kgs with no health issues.

It reminds me of a story of the beggar who had been sitting by the side of a road for over 10 years. one day a stranger walk by. "spare some change ?" mumble the beggar, mechanically holding out his old bowl. "I have nothing to give you" said the stranger. Then the stranger asked: "what's that you are sitting on?" "nothing," replied the beggar. "Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember." Ever looked inside ? asked the stranger "No," said the beggar What's the point ? There's nothing in there. Have a look inside insisted the stranger. The beggar managed to open the lid. With astonishment and disbelief he saw the box was filled with gold. The stranger had nothing to give to beggar but he helped the beggar 

This stranger maybe a fellow runner, a friend, a teacher or anyone who will help us to identify a box that we have not opened for quite sometime

Runners above 50 years age

  Often beginners think logistically, its simple, you need a pair of shoes, get out of the apartment and run, yes its very simple. Sometimes physically it can be challenging more than any other sport. Being outside is brain food, running along with nature is a nice rhythm by itself. There are physical hurdles to overcome when the body has cramps or soreness, but resisting the urge to quit a run, or not run is challenging. When you push through these road blocks it makes other areas of life much easier to handle. Running is intense repetitive motion will make your heart and lungs much stronger. However running well has to do with knowing the result you will get from a particular effort. Cadence and stride with proper diet help us to move on growth curve. Running is the best cardio exercise. I met a seriously over weight person she felt like a Rock Star after her 5 kms run. She also has plans to reduce her weight in couple of months down the line. Most of the times running clears off...
