These are three famous sayings carved on the rock of Elados in ancient Greece more than 2,5 years ago, reminding people of the significance of sports.
There are three books that make me completely fall in love with running:
I fell in love with running more than a year ago.
Haruki Murakami is one of my favorite writers, but I'm ashamed to say that what I like to read most is actually a book about running written by him: What do I talk about when I talk about running?
It can be said that without Mr. Murakami's book, I probably wouldn't have started running. It is said that many people are poisoned by this book and then fall in love with running.
in 1978, 28-year-old Haruki Murakami began to write. In 1982, at the age of 33, he started running. He has been running for 35 years on the road of running.
He runs almost every day, runs a full marathon at least once a year, and has participated in numerous long-distance sprints all over the world.
From Kauai, Hawaii to Cambridge, Massachusetts, from listing in Japanese village for triathlon, to setting foot on the ancient Greek marathon, he is always running.
running for many years makes all kinds of thoughts surge from his heart; I insist on what I see, hear and think about running every day, and it becomes what I talk about when I talk about running.
Yes, because:
Many people are studying how many days they should run every week, how long they should run each time, what equipment to buy, what running shoes to wear, when the air is good, which street is flat and which season is the most comfortable for running.
In fact, these are all details. Just go out and run. As long as you run long enough, you will have perseverance, habits, health, weight loss and good health, and these are just by-products brought by running.
"Don't worry about the three seven twenty-one, let's talk about running first", so I casually put on a pair of shoes and started running ...
After 1 days, one year and ten years, when I look back at this sentence, I realize that it is so reasonable. Running and running are naturally professional, and running and running equipment are naturally complete.
thinking too much sometimes affects your actions.
I really have a say in this. It's been two years since I quit smoking, and I haven't smoked a cigarette yet. There are two colleagues in my unit who have been quitting smoking with me, and only I have persisted.
After quitting smoking, all three of us gained more than 2 kilograms, and our appetite soared. Only I kept running, so my weight was much lighter than before quitting smoking, from 21 kilograms to 17 kilograms, a full 4 kilograms.
it's hard to quit smoking simply by perseverance. Only with a new habit can another old habit be replaced. I have replaced the bad habit of smoking with a good habit of exercise.
So I read Mr. Murakami's passage and felt the same way.
Running is the simplest exercise, and one person can control everything. You can run as long as you want to; If you don't want to run, you don't have to run.
everything is up to you.
people who want to run don't care about any external factors, such as wind and rain, cold and heat; People who don't want to run won't run with or without smog.
if you say something inappropriate, even if you smoke a little smog every day, you will be digested by the great benefits brought by running.
So, just run, because the benefits of running are really not one or two points. Instead of listening to the negative words of some lazy people, why not find someone who runs every day and see how refreshed he is after insisting on running?
getting into the habit of running is like washing your face and brushing your teeth, eating and sleeping every day, so you don't need to stick to it. Who needs to insist on eating and sleeping every day?
Nowadays, running has become a popular sport. Many people love running, and even go crazy. There is a joke that if you eat at the wine table, you will be embarrassed to speak if you haven't run a marathon. But some people think that running is a boring and long thing.
why do so many people keep running? You can borrow Mr. Murakami's words:
If I hadn't started running, I would never have found so many songs and exciting sentences in this book.
A book about your running feelings is so brilliantly written and beautifully written that only Mr. Murakami has this charm, right?
whether you want to run or not, whether you have run or not, I suggest you read this book seriously at least once in your life, and you will find that it is not just a running book, but also a book about life thinking and refinement.
every once in a while, I always take it out seriously and read it. Even if I choose to read it, I will find it beneficial to open it.
In "Running Bible: I Run, So I am", Dr. George Shinn tells us about his life experience brought by running since middle age, and deeply tells about all kinds of great physical and mental changes brought by running.
Since its publication in 1978, this book has been on the best-seller list in The New York Times for 14 weeks in a row. It is a "philosophical bible" for global runners and a spiritual reading for 5 million Americans.
Dr. George Shinn is a doctor. He started his running career when he put on running shoes at the age of 45.
After running countless marathons, in 1969, he ran a mile in 4 minutes and 47 seconds, setting a world record for the 5-year-old age group.
In 1972, he began to write a column in Runner's World and became the most popular columnist.
As a mentor and thinker in the field of running, George Shinn inspires people and inspires us to follow his teachings. -Former US President Bill Clinton strongly recommended Douban Review: This is a running masterpiece that combines practice and philosophy.
here, you can see the tenacity of the runners; Here, you can feel the mind of the runner; Here, you can listen to the spirit of great thinkers and athletes; Here, you can talk to the "thinking" of the body.
Through this book, you may be able to find the answers to "Who are you after all" and "How should you adapt yourself".
The correct way to read this book is not to read it all at once. Whenever you are too lazy to run, read a few paragraphs.
The Running Bible: The Most Comprehensive Running Training Plan has been selling well for more than ten years since it was published in Germany in 24, ranking first in the sports bestseller list for many years.
This book is a five-star book, which is regarded as a classic by runners. It was carefully created by the German champion running coach, benefiting 1 million readers in Europe.
both beginners and experienced runners can benefit from this book.
The contents covered in the book include: how to choose running shoes correctly, preparation for running, running psychology, running nutrition, recovery methods after injury, detailed training plan ...
It can be said that everything about the technical aspects of running is taught in great detail. From the first day of running to the marathon, detailed training plans are provided in stages. As long as you do it, the marathon will no longer be a difficult task.
a book in hand travels all over the world. People are born runners, let this book run with you all your life!
Hulbeart Stefani, a famous German long-distance runner and coach, has won the German Marathon and other long-distance races for 16 times, and won the European Marathon in 1986.
In 23, Stephanie, who was over 5 years old, took part in the German 1km race and broke the German record.
At the same time, as an excellent running coach, he has trained many excellent German runners and world champions.
The first two books were written from the ideological and spiritual level, while this book was written from the technical level.
Some readers shared their feelings:
In fact, running is so simple that we can't find any reason to refuse:
Any book that is not used after reading is useless; Anything, without action, will never have a result.
No matter how detailed a map is, it can't lead its owner to move half a step.
if we don't try something, it will never appear in our life.
influenced by these three books, I used to run for as many as 3 days every day, which became one of the most exciting events in my life.
Not everyone has the talent to run, but running is easy to become addictive after a period of time:
First you fall in love with the ease after sweating, then you fall in love with your gradually tightening body, and then you fall in love with your pure hair. Running brings subtle and intense changes to your body. This change will really offset the strong mental fatigue.
how easy is running? Just go out and run every day.
but I don't want to go out every day: I'm tired after running; Is it raining outside? Will you catch a cold if you run away? I'm so tired today, why don't you run again tomorrow? There's still a lot of work to be done. Why don't you do something else first? ......
Before leaving, there are always countless voices of giving up in my mind. I don't respond. I choose to listen to these thoughts quietly, put on running clothes, running shoes, take my mobile phone, headphones, keys and money-go out at once and run.
do it first. As long as you act, you are half successful.
