How can I keep running?

Many people know that insisting on running has many benefits, such as it can enhance people’s memory, concentrate people’s attention, improve the body’s resistance, and make people happy. Despite the many benefits of running, few people can stick to it in their daily lives. This is because they don’t know how to stick to running or what are the methods to stick to running.

1. Having such high expectations will only make you lose your spirit. At the beginning, I didn’t expect to persist for a long time, I just started with the mentality of trying to hold out as long as I could. I didn’t advertise it at the beginning because I wasn’t worried about the pressure from others. Besides, failure has happened more than once or twice, so one more won’t be a big deal. I remember when my friends first heard me say that I wanted to run for 100 days, they said to me, I don’t think you can stick to it. I said to him, I think so, but why not give it a try? That’s it, don’t put yourself in the perfect trap so you can go into battle with ease.

2. When making excuses, listen quietly before moving on. I have the thought of not wanting to go out every day. After running, my whole body will definitely ache. Is it raining outside? Will I catch a cold if I run? I am so tired today. Why not run tomorrow? There is still a lot of work to be done. Should we do something else first? …Before setting off, there are always countless voices of giving up lingering in my mind. I don’t respond, but choose to listen to these thoughts quietly, change into running clothes and running shoes, put on my phone, headphones, keys, and go out.

3. Keep records and see your persistence. I have specially prepared a notebook to record and summarize it once a month. As I watched the records increase little by little, I felt more at ease and my confidence grew.

4. Buy clothes and equipment to reward yourself. At the beginning, I bought a pair of running shoes to alternate with my previous running shoes. After wearing the new ones, I don’t want to wear the old ones anymore :P For sports equipment, you will only notice the price difference after you use them.

The question of how to keep running has been answered above. Of course, one of the most important prerequisites for persisting in running is to have strong willpower. As long as you are determined to keep running, and you implement these methods to motivate yourself to persevere, I believe you will be the one who has the last laugh.
