Becoming An Improved Experience Runner

Of the more than twenty million Americans who are running today, most who start do so for the wrong reasons, with the wrong attitude, and tend to lose interest after a few weeks or months. Many quit. This is usually because they become concerned with superficial goals such as time and distance and never discover the more profound mental benefits that running offers. (Lilliefors 15)

Running shoes can vary from racing flats to spikes to cross training shoes, which are used for distance running. In order to get good running performance, it is important to research the various different shoes that is best for the different running conditions. When I first started out running I had to make sure I got the perfect pair of running shoes that best fit me as a runner. Literacy played an important role when I was searching for my running shoes because without the knowledge of what would be the best fit for each runner we wouldn’t know what shoes works best for us. I was running at least thirty miles a week so I had to make sure I was getting a shoe that was protecting me from injuries and giving me just the right amount of cushion and support I needed. I started out with no support at all when it came to my running shoes and it ended up causing myself to have shin splints, which is a pulling pain on the lower leg near your calf, but with the help of running experts I was able to find the perfect fit that worked best for

After every race, you can vaguely expect what you will see up on the clock. I know, now, how much I put in, is only as much as I can expect to get out. Running has helped me form some ideas that are still fresh in my brain but will hopefully help me become a better version of myself. Just remember, someone may have a lifetime ahead of them, but they need to make the last bit just as good as the

You need the can do attitude to run. Running is a mental game. It can be a lot of fun, but it takes a lot of work. If you think you can, you can. If you think you cannot,well, you are probably correct. There have been so many times when I have wanted to quit during a run, but I did not because I knew that I would disappoint myself by turning in. But guess what, I kept on going, finished the run, and felt good I could

Each culture uses the same techniques to perfect their running form and each one is successful in their own way. Running may not always be the fun thing to do, but it is a great way to stay healthy. Also, it makes you stronger both physically and mentally. Generations and generations of people have been running for years, and it has evolved into something unimaginable.

I have never breathed so hard, felt so strong, or faced such challenge as when I am running. Running trains me to always keep

Running is a good form of aerobic exercise, and there are several benefits for both the body and the mind.

Although running may not seem like a big sport like football, basketball or soccer, it takes a lot of courage, heart and strength to be able to run. In the article called “Cool like me” by Donnell Alexander he says, “cool is finding the essential soul, while being essentially lost”. When we feel stressed and feel like we want time for ourselves away from society, running is a solution. Running is not just considered a sport, running is a lifestyle that people choose to live. It makes them feel good, look good and it makes them happy.

The shoes in cross country are very important, working out and being in shape is also important. Lots of people run like to run. Injuries are very common. Running is a fun way to stay healthy.

On 11/21/16 I met Mr. and Mrs. Messing at the office of Dr. Adams. Ms. Messing said she has not made any other follow up appointment. She wanted to wait until she saw Dr. Adams and spoke with him. There was a long wait for Dr. Adam. Ms. Messing arrived in a wheelchair, her neck was still in the Miami j collar but her chin was towards her chest, head was sinking down in the collar. This was not how the collar fit her when I saw her at the rehab unit. She continually pulls on the collar due to a skin break down under her chin. The wound to her chin is almost completely healed. Ms. Messing rates her pain at a 4 to a 10. She reports having a jolting tingling burning pain to the top of her head. She is alert and oriented. Family brought the MRI disc from test ran while in rehab unit at St. Joseph Mercy. Family also brought the entire cervical collar that have been tried to

If you are a runner, whether new to the sport or a veteran, you know there are those days where being motivated to run is difficult. Whether it is the distance or overcoming the soreness and pain associated with a previous run, there are days when the idea of running is completely unappealing.

The best way to prevent injuries from occurring is to take the appropriate precautionary actions. The first major rule is: don’t strain. The majority of running injuries occur from overtraining. It is important for a runner to incorporate hard days and easy days into his/her exercise routine. You need to give your body time to rest so that it can repair itself. Fatigue accumulates and if you don't ease up occasionally, you won't improve. Being overtired will eventually lead to injury because your body needs a chance to recover and strengthen itself. Also, avoid doing too much too soon. Dr. Stephen Pribut suggests that "Mileage should usually only be increased approximately ten percent per week. Every third week, you should drop back a small amount. For most runners one or two days a week, at least, should be devoted to rest or

A big part of running is not just your physical abilities. It is also a mental sport. Your body can be pushed so far and hard and keep going, but it is your mind that tells you to stop. We learn what is good pain and bad pain. We teach ourselves not to stop when we feel like it.

My four years on the cross country team taught me so much more than how to run. I learned some of the most valuable lessons of my life through cross country. Most years, we had a quote on the back of our game day shirts. One of my favorite quotes read, “Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.” This quote is not only relevant to running but to life as well. Every person will experience pain in their lives just as every person will experience pain while running and training. Suffering is often a choice. It can easily be self-inflicted, and, just as easily, be avoided. This quote encouraged me to push through

If I am not in shape, I am not going to do so well. So while it is cross country season I watch what I eat. That is why we run over the summer so I can get better at running. When I run in the summer I run some days slower than others like 1.5 miles faster, and 2-2.5 miles slower. I do that because if I run too fast like spriting i will lose all my energy, my side will start to hurt, I might feel like I am going to fall over. But as long as I am running i will stay in shape. The real purpose of running is not to win a race, the real purpose is to test the limit of the human
