AI Running Excellence: Achieve Endurance Building with RunBox [64c5]

In high school, while others were buried in endless books, desperately studying, classmates who insisted on running would always find time to run on the track, no matter how busy their coursework was.

In college, while others were hiding in their dorms skipping classes and playing games, classmates who insisted on running would always get up early, go for a run, and then head to the library.

At work, while others were struggling in the whirlpool of workplace pressure, either socializing with bosses and clients or feeling down due to lack of success, colleagues who insisted on running would always go for a solo night run after work...

Persisting in doing one thing not only makes you different from others but also makes you different from your past self.

Thus, classmates who insisted on running got extra points for their sports skills and were admitted to their dream universities; those who managed their time more scientifically in college graduated with excellent grades and were hired by Fortune 500 companies; colleagues who kept running had better physical fitness, could handle overtime better, and could positively vent work-related negative emotions, making them well-liked by both leaders and colleagues...

Running is a sport that is hard to stick with. I've seen too many people hesitate and quit on the path of running. I've also seen many people who have a lifelong love for running, starting and never stopping.

The physiological and psychological changes brought by running will make the people and things you face vastly different from before. The long-term changes brought by running are indispensable qualities for anyone who wants to become better. So, by sticking to running, you will experience better changes.

Physical changes

1. Your body will become more toned and shapely.

Long-distance running is the best aerobic fat-burning exercise. It will make your legs slimmer, your lines more beautiful, your abdomen flatter, and your hips rounder. Aerobic running not only consumes excess body fat but also prevents high blood lipids and lowers blood sugar levels, alleviating symptoms of high blood sugar, so you don't have to worry about 'three highs' issues.

2. Your joints will become more flexible and strong.

Within a reasonable running volume and with the correct running posture, running will give your joints more enduring stamina. Relevant data shows that the probability of knee pain in people who persist in running is 21.1%, 25.3% in those who used to run but stopped, and 29.6% in those who never run.

In fact, those who sit for long periods without running are more likely to suffer from rheumatism and arthritis in old age. As long as the posture is correct and the running volume is not excessive, running is beneficial and harmless to the joints.

3. Your neck and shoulders will be more relaxed.

Nowadays, many people work sitting in front of a computer every day. The fixed sitting posture makes the muscles stiff, accompanied by various aches and pains. Only exercise can gradually tear apart the adhered ligaments and soft tissues and slowly loosen the stiff muscles. Running is a great choice, especially when swinging your arms, which relaxes the shoulders, and the upright running posture is also beneficial to the body.

4. Your immune system will become stronger.

Immunity is the body's protective shield against external viruses, and running is one way to strengthen it. Running can improve the overall quality of the body, adding points to your health. When running outdoors, you will become more adaptable to changing temperatures, humidity, and other environmental factors, making you less likely to get sick.

5. It helps increase bone density.

Running is an activity that exerts a certain impact on the bones, which helps increase bone density. Long-term exercise ensures that even in old age, you can have strong legs. Relevant surveys show that men who engage in jogging weigh less and have fewer chronic health problems. Additionally, the bone density of these men's leg bones is on average 5% higher than that of non-runners; compared to men who do not participate in any exercise, their bone density is 8% higher.

6. Your heart will become stronger.

In long-term running training, the runner's heart gets fully exercised, making it larger and stronger than that of ordinary people, thus having a stronger blood supply capacity.

7. Your mind will become sharper.

During the process of persistent running, blood flow to the brain increases, promoting brain development and making you smarter. In fact, running is closely related to memory improvement and also helps activate the growth of gray matter in the brain, enhancing brain power.

Mental changes

1. It will make you more diligent.

Running is a process from laziness to diligence, which will help you get rid of more and more bad habits, and procrastination will be cured. Anyone who has persisted in running for more than a year will not be a lazy person.

2. It will make you stronger.

Running will enhance your resilience, making you more adept at handling pressure. Resilience will help you better deal with unfavorable environments. A person who runs is definitely a strong person.

3. Your personal charm will increase.

Due to changes in body shape, various hormone secretions will greatly enhance your charm, making every gesture exude the aura of a god or goddess. Even walking down the street, the confidence gained from running will make you stand out.

4. You will have higher standards for yourself.

Persisting in running is a self-discipline behavior in itself. The requirements for diet, nutrition, and exercise will make you more disciplined. You will gain a more regular lifestyle, and as your body shape changes, you will become more aware of the correctness of your methods. You will become a person with increasingly strong principles.

5. Your mental state will improve.

People who run daily will be energetic and radiant. Their abundant physical strength will bring changes to their lives. In a group, runners are often the ones with the best spirits.

6. You will have a strong sense of happiness.

Health is the source of all happiness, and runners often understand this truth better. A healthy body will bring happiness to your life and work because you have more energy to enjoy life and work without worrying too much about physical conditions. This confidence will bring more positive influences to both life and work.

7. Your social circle will become richer.

Through running, your confidence, charm, and health will make you highly attractive. You will also passively join more positive circles, easily helping you find friends with similar interests. Through running, you can discover many like-minded friends.

————

From a daily perspective, there is no difference between people who persist in running and those who don't. The differences are also minimal on a monthly basis. The real difference between running and not running does not appear immediately but accumulates slowly in your body.

Five years, ten years, twenty years later, as time goes by, the gap will become more and more obvious. The differences in physical and mental states will gradually widen, and decades later, it may become a chasm between one kind of life and another.

As long as you start running, the road you have run will not deceive you; it will settle in your body, allowing you to enjoy it.
