Title: Signs of Running Change: Sinking in January, Transforming in Three Years, Why Does Someone Insist?
I've been running consistently for the past year. Some people may think it's just a sport, but when you really dive into it, you will find that it's not just a workout, it's a profound transformation.
The first month was a torturous time. I remember my legs were so heavy that I couldn't run more than two kilometers and I felt like I couldn't support them. Every step seemed to remind me that this was a challenge, a test of myself. The physical discomfort and fatigue made me almost choose to give up, but in fact, most people choose to withdraw at this stage.
However, a small group of people, including me, chose to persevere. It's not just about exercising, it's about overcoming yourself. Yes, I firmly believe that this is part of life, not to run away, but to rise to the occasion.
Over time, it took three months of running. The hardships at the beginning gradually gave way to adaptation to the sport. Cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength improved, and the 5km run was a piece of cake for me at that time. My body also began to lose weight, as if it was a magic in life, the weight burden was reduced, and I became more energetic.
You may ask, why do you stick so much to a seemingly simple movement?In the world of running, it's not just about exercising, it's about honing your will. Half a year of perseverance has allowed me to experience a significant improvement in various physical indicators. The sub-health diseases such as back pain that I used to have inadvertently disappeared. My immunity has also become stronger, and colds and other illnesses have drifted away from me. Compared to my peers, I gradually opened up the gap.
A year of running has given me a slim body and cultivated the quality of self-discipline. Running is no longer just a sport, it's an integral part of my life. Pleasantly surprised, in addition to the changes in my body, I found that the quality of my sleep has also improved, ** has become better, and the whole person's state has obviously improved to the next level.
Nowadays, running has become a part of my life, not just a workout. The three-year running process has opened up a bigger gap between me and my peers not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of inner mental state. I met a better version of myself and made a group of like-minded friends. This is perhaps the best part of running, not only for us to find a better version of ourselves, but also for us to meet better others.
All in all, running is not just a sport, it's a conversation with yourself. Whether it is a setback or a gain, it is worth our deep appreciation. Insisting on running is not only a care for the body, but also a love for life. That's probably why I'm so obsessed with running, because with every step I take, I find myself stronger and more confident.
Running, for us Chinese, is not only an exercise, but also a unique culture, a kind of care for ourselves and the body. In the past three years of running, I have found that it is not only my personal changes, but also the stories of people around me who also love running.
In the beginning, the running field may just be a playground or park near the community, but as the passion grew, we began to find more running worlds that belonged to us. In the streets and alleys of the early morning, you can often see a group of people wearing sports equipment, sweating while enjoying the beauty of the first sunshine.
In the past three years, I have made a lot of like-minded friends. During the morning run, we shared each other's joy and perseverance, as if we formed a big family. Sometimes, we motivate each other to go the extra mile and set new records together. This kind of solidarity and encouragement made me feel the unique charm of running culture.
In the process, I also began to encourage my friends to participate in fitness exercises. Friends who used to be addicted to busy work and couldn't extricate themselves have joined this running family because of my sharing and encouragement. Watching them get healthier and I think that's probably one of my biggest takeaways in the past three years.
Running is not just a sport, it's an attitude. In this bustling city, each of us is under all kinds of stress, and running has become one of the best ways to release these stresses. Whenever I feel tired or confused, a jog is like a spiritual purification, allowing me to regain my inner peace.
And the ancient Chinese culture is also integrated into the fun of running. Sometimes, I choose to jog on the historic ancient city wall, as if I have traveled back in time. In such an environment, you can feel the resonance of your body and soul, as if connecting the past, present, and future. This is a unique experience of running, and it is also a footnote to the inheritance of Chinese culture.
In my opinion, running is not only an individual exercise, but also a collective strength. Every morning, when we run on the road, we are united, a group chasing dreams. We interpret persistence with sweat and a positive attitude towards life with action.
Three years may seem like a brief moment to some, but in the world of running, it's a rich and profound journey. Everyone who persists has their own story and is writing the most wonderful page of their life with a running attitude.
Running is not only a kind of exercise, but also a kind of spiritual sustenance. In the past three years, I have found a better version of myself and gained more friendships. This is perhaps the most wonderful place of running, connecting the soul of each of us, allowing us to run farther and farther on the road of life, and the more exciting we run.
