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 our mind much more effectively than standing in gym or Yoga Studios from all the distractions Running is self reliant and self sustainable many times running is dependent on several factors like food, weather, track, energy bars, gels, shoes etc.Running is powered by all the free resources available in the universe. This is the only time you will be with yourself.
After 50 years of age, running is one of the best companion when you are alone. Be kind and appreciative to yourself. Like you appreciate your good friend, ups and downs will be there like minor injuries will be there, that don't matter be good to yourself.
