Walking alone is fast, traveling together is far.

Title: I received an invitation from the leader of the group at noon yesterday, saying that there was a small gathering of the running group in the evening, which is equivalent to the annual annual meeting. I was really looking forward to participating, but I was worried that I would not be " "Safety Body", I had no choice but to reluctantly reject it. I would like to use this article as some thoughts!

1. Interview Q&A

1. Question: What kind of running team are you most willing to create?

Answer: To be honest, as a running club that is purely voluntary, it is really not easy to run it well and requires a lot of hard work behind it. The ideal running group should be a running club that is suitable for all ages, both men and women, and has attractiveness, influence, and brand power. First of all, it is recommended to improve the cultural construction of the running group, have its own club slogan, have an exclusive team song for the running group, and design a unique and energetic team uniform (it can have a team name, but it is too low to advertise). Secondly, in addition to unified running group activities, training activities at different times and routes can be set up on weekends to meet the needs of different runners. For example, some work overtime late on Friday and cannot get up too early on Saturday morning. For example, some do not want to. Run small circles around the park, want to run big circles along the road, etc. Finally, it is recommended to increase communication opportunities among running group partners. Annual meetings once a year are obviously too few. Is it possible to consider once a quarter or even once a month? There are no restrictions on the form of activities, including eating, drinking tea, and other forms of exercise. The activity fee is AA and all based on voluntary participation. In this way, the cohesion and centripetal force of the team are increased, instead of just relying on running as a means of maintenance.

2. Question: What kind of teammates do you like?

Answer: It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and the running team members are all friends who love running. They join with a simple goal. Most of them are positive, encourage each other, and support each other. Empowering, but one thing I feel bad about is that some runners like to chat about everyday things in the group. Personally, I feel that it takes up public attention resources. A few words of laughter are okay, but teasing and joking in the group for a long time is a bit excessive. . In addition, the average age of the running group is too old and the energy is slightly insufficient. We should consider recruiting young runners to join to activate the vitality of the running group and form a reasonable age structure of the team.

3. Question: How important are marathons and PBs?

Answer: This is a question about purpose and means, process and result. Compared with running safely, without injury, and happily, marathon and PB are not so important, but success will come naturally. It's something that comes naturally. No matter how good the marathon is, no matter how fast or short your personal PB is, and you are covered in injuries, what’s the point? Regarding the three realms of running, I once wrote an article "The Self-cultivation of Runners" to elaborate on it in detail, so I won't go into details here.

4. Question: What kind of help do you need most from the running group?

Answer: The running team most needs to establish a complete and mature training system, and teach according to the situation of different team members. For team members who just want to exercise and are not ready to participate in the competition, we can teach the basic knowledge of running and how to protect themselves. Injury-free methods; if you are a runner who wants to compete, scientific training methods should be developed for each individual. Because it is true that a marathon cannot be participated in by running casually, nor can it be improved by running blindly with brute force. However, ordinary runners lack scientific and effective training methods and an atmosphere of cooperation and competition among teams.

5. Question: Is it important to check in for running every day in a running group?

Answer: Very important. People are inert, and self-discipline also has blind spots. Through the constraints of heteronomy and the stimulation of others, people are embarrassed not to run away. When the atmosphere becomes warm, they can interact with each other. Infected, otherwise it will become a "zombie group" over time. At the same time, it is recommended that running groups increase the fun of check-in, such as setting up activities such as 7-day (21 days, 30 days, 90 days, 100 days, etc.) continuous check-in training camps. By paying the contract fee in advance, the contract fee will be returned if the standards are met, or even Item rewards give partners of different running ages the opportunity to participate and quickly develop running habits.

2. 2020 Running Gains

Speaking of the first attempt to run can be traced back to 2015. I kept running for a few months, and then shelved it because the weather turned cold, until 2020. Only then did the operation resume.

The reason why I restarted running was that I felt that running is a healthy exercise. The main reason was that my weight had broken the record at that time and I was so fat that I was "intolerable".

At that time, the work union at my workplace had formed a running group. I was wondering how to run at home on the weekends? Are there any running groups nearby that I can join? So I searched for the current running group on Gudong.

It is said that people should not compare, but "comparison" can also play a positive motivating role when used in the right place. Before joining the running group, the longest distance I could run was 10 kilometers. In the month after joining the group, my longest distance exceeded 15 kilometers. Within two weeks of joining the group, I ran my first half marathon.

It was a period of excitement. I would run a half-marathon almost every weekend. I even wanted to challenge a full marathon. I ran my personal longest distance of 30 kilometers in less than two months after joining the running group, and I didn’t even finish it for a week. Slow down and start facing the marathon with awe.

It’s funny to say that I didn’t expect that my first official half marathon would be a cross-country marathon. Now that I think about it, it's still "childish" and sloppy. If there's anything to say about "paying for pain", I'm afraid it has to be the cross-country marathon. I made a strategic mistake by not standing in the front at the beginning, so the crowds gathered together and I couldn't get away even if I wanted to. For nearly half of the uphill and downhill sections, I was neither able to run nor dared to run, so my results were very poor. It was really different from running on the road. , fortunately, I can finish the race safely, and I won’t try cross-country running again in the future!

In any case, 2020 can be regarded as the first year of personal running. I have made great progress in terms of running volume, pace, and technology. Although compared with the running masters, I am still a runner. As a primary school student, the road must be walked step by step. Running safely, without injury, and happily is the greatest meaning that a qualified runner should pursue.

3. Have a wonderful run in 2021

Originally, I was going to participate in the New Year Half Marathon with my running group friends to celebrate the New Year. However, due to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, the race was temporarily canceled. , I had no choice but to run alone to celebrate the New Year. Of course, running is a journey of one person.

In 2021, I hope that I will be tireless in running, keep my original intention, and use running to savage my body and sharpen my mind. If there is a KPI, it is to increase the maximum oxygen uptake. , lower your aerobic running heart rate, run at least a half marathon every month, and complete your first official full marathon.

Looking back at 2020, a year full of magical realism, I really can’t calm down for a long time. It is destined to be an unforgettable year for both the country and individuals.

“On the same train, some people are infected and others are safe. This is the body’s immunity.

Under the same isolation, some people have no worries about food and drink for a year, while others have financial difficulties for a week. This is financial immunity.

Also staying at home, some people are very self-disciplined in reading, studying, and taking classes on the air, while others are sleeping, playing mahjong, and playing poker, and live in chaos throughout the day. This is value immunity.

In the same disaster, some people are optimistic and move forward bravely, while others blame others and even hate society. This is psychological immunity.

This natural disaster is a process of sweeping away the sand, affecting everyone. Our physique, experience, cognition, humanity, conscience, courage, thoughts, morality, soul, attitude, values, etc. are all a selection process. Therefore, the most important thing for us to overcome accidents and misfortunes is to enhance all immunity. ” p>

Whether it is running for fitness or reading and studying, they are all ways to improve yourself, to create a better self, and to improve the immunity mentioned above.

The roads you have traveled and the books you have read are all embedded in your spirit.

Haruki Murakami said that the body is everyone’s temple. No matter what is enshrined in it, it should be kept strong, beautiful and clean.

In fact, what is enshrined inside is your soul. Only if you keep running and reading can your temple be prosperous.

The running water will not rot, and the door hinges will not be beetrooted. Life is short, you have to be sexy. Without an ecstatic body, how can you support your strong soul?

Have expectations for yourself,

Have expectations for the future,

When they go low, we go high.
