Keep running for 50 days, those new changes you didn’t even notice

Unknowingly, from July 20th to September 7th, I have been running for 50 days. In these 50 days, I ran a total of 1316 minutes and 175.41 kilometers. On the road of running, some people run fast and some run hard. I belong to the latter.

Some friends knew that I was running, so they joked, "You are not fat, so why should you run? Be careful when a typhoon comes and blow you away." I laughed and said that if I could really be blown away by a typhoon, I would travel for free.

Having said that, I have only lost two pounds in weight after running for so many days. But many clients come and ask me, have you been losing weight recently?

Although the weight has not changed significantly, the body shape has changed. The whole person is more upright, no longer hunched over the chest, and the abdomen is flat, making the whole body feel full of strength.

I have summarized the benefits of running once when I ran for 21 days: After running for 21 days, I have unknowingly changed. After 50 days of running, I made the following new discoveries and changes:

In the early stages of running, I struggled with whether to run or not to run every day. Now that I am used to running, I not only have to run, but I also have to run at that time. Sometimes I wake up a few minutes late or push the starting time back a few minutes, and I feel like something is wrong. If you can get up early and finish running early, you will feel very good (I guess the obsessive-compulsive disorder has occurred again).

Proper stretching after running not only helps the body relax, but also increases the body's flexibility. In the early days of running, I only did simple stretching after running, and my posture was not correct. I followed KEPP for a period of time. Before I knew it, my body became softer and my balance became better and better. Now I can lower my waist. But now I still feel pain when I stretch the back of my legs. It may be because I didn’t stretch it properly in the early stage.

Dysmenorrhea is a pain that every girl cannot describe. Dysmenorrhea is not a disease. The pain can kill people. I have had to take painkillers many times during my period. Every time I feel pain, my face turns pale, I feel weak all over, and I keep breaking out in cold sweats. After running, my metabolism may be faster, my blood circulation will be improved, and I will rarely have a bad mood. My last menstrual period went smoothly. Of course, there are many causes of dysmenorrhea, which are divided into primary and secondary types. Running can relieve dysmenorrhea, but it may not be suitable for every girl.

I used to have bad eating habits and liked to eat junk food. I often eat barbecue, stinky tofu, KFC, and instant noodles. Although I was controlled by Brother Xiong and refused to eat it, I would think of stealing it when Brother Xiong was not around. After running, my body shape has changed, my waistline has become beautiful and my abdomen is flat. In order to protect the hard-won running results, Brother Xiong does not need to supervise, and he will think about it before eating. Nowadays, the taste is not so strong. I eat more fruits and vegetables, but chili is a must. Without eating chili, everything tastes wrong.

When you become better and better through your own persistence and hard work, you will unconsciously want to become better. For example, I have persisted in running now, and there have been many good changes. I would like to set a goal for myself, such as practicing a straight cross within 3 months, and I am very confident in accomplishing this goal.

Since running, various benefits have continued to appear. I sleep better, my skin becomes firmer and smoother, and my eyes become clearer. When you do something to make yourself better and better, people around you will definitely sense your changes. At this time, you don't need to spend a lot of words to get her to join you. Your status is the best living advertisement. Now three of my colleagues have started running, and I believe more and more colleagues will join the running ranks.

Although running has become a habit in the past 50 days, I also know that persistence is not easy. I took a look at the exercise level data compiled by KEEP: Level T1, exercise time is 30 minutes, and there were 25,990,791 people in this level on July 20th. At level T6, the exercise time is 1000 minutes (I am at this level now). There are only 2,606,498 people at this level, which is almost 10 times less than the people at level T1.

Many people are full of enthusiasm at the beginning, but later on they will find various reasons for not persisting, such as running out of time or feeling unwell. And only those who persist can truly understand the meaning and happiness of persistence.

It is said that there is no difference between those who run and those who do not run every day; the difference every month is also minimal; although the difference is obvious every year, it does not seem to be a big deal; but every day Five years later, there is a huge gap between physical and mental state. When we look at it 10 years later, it may be that there is an unreachable gap between one kind of life and another kind of life.

Running and reading are both the most beautiful. Sanmao said: "When you read more, your appearance will naturally change. Many times, you may think that many of the books you have read have become a thing of the past and can no longer be remembered. In fact, they are still hidden in your temperament, in your conversation, and in your boundless mind. Of course, it may also be shown in life and words. "Similarly, the roads you have traveled will never deceive you. They are deposited in your spirit, and everyone can feel your changes.

I don’t know how long I can hold on, and I don’t know what other charming scenery I will encounter on the way to running. But one thing I firmly believe is that as long as I keep running, I will definitely meet a better and fresher version of myself.

Being better than others is not noble. True nobility should be better than one's past self.

Want to run tomorrow morning? I call you.
