I wonder how many people listened carefully. Some people may think that this knowledge is too basic and nothing new. But for me, the sharing of old sayings is sincere and true, and his eight-character proverbs also touched me.
Running seems simple, but it is actually the easiest exercise to start. You only need a pair of running shoes to start running.
But running and running, the problem comes. In addition to the old saying above, many people will care about deeper professional equipment and running skills, how much and how fast they run, when they finish the first full horse and when they show their constantly refreshed PB. Everyone who loves running will come into contact with these problems sooner or later, and they will be a little confused. Why can some people run several horses in a short time, some people run faster and faster, and some people are easily injured?
I have been running outdoors for almost two years, and I always meet some classmates and friends who want to run and ask all kinds of questions. Many runners around me have also experienced various painful adjustments. I myself, for more than half a year, have been upset by the pain in the soles of my feet, and I haven't recovered yet.
I have been seriously rethinking these days, and I have specially asked an old saying, why and how to do recovery exercises. After listening to the sharing of the old saying, I pondered over the seemingly simple answer and suddenly realized something. Step by step, seemingly simple, is actually a test in practice.
Patience is more important than perseverance and running.
Before you start running, you will find it too boring and difficult to stick to it. Once you get through the initial ordeal, you will form a habit and begin to enjoy running. You can run longer and faster, and you will enter the promotion period. Excitement will make you unconsciously compare with your friends, check the monthly running volume repeatedly, and be excited about your constantly refreshed achievements. Although I feel tired sometimes, I still want to make up the number, sign up for online and offline competitions and get excited with my friends.
What's more, there are always some legends in the running group: after running for a few months, they ran to Ma Quan for nothing; The monthly running volume is high, ranking first all the time; Novices who just started running are faster than you ... they can do it, why can't they do it themselves?
I don't have the patience to wait for my body to adapt, to learn skills, to learn basic warm-up stretching, and to be the one who is always at the back of the running group. I just want to run happily and feel the carefree feeling of continuous progress.
But this is really dangerous.
In fact, many people blindly increase the speed and quantity of running, but as a result, they have to stop because of injuries. Their initial enthusiasm has been hit, and some people even give up running altogether.
What is the most difficult thing for a novice runner? Many professional articles will tell you to slow down. Beginners are most likely to run too much and too fast with initial enthusiasm.
Everyone's situation is different. Some people start running, their posture is fine, their physical strength is good, and they may be greatly improved in a short time. This kind of person is what we call the kind with potential. However, some people may have poor running posture in the past, or have limited physical reasons and congenital conditions, so they are not suitable for higher-level sports in a short time, and need more patience to study, train and gradually improve.
For example, when I first started running, I felt that I had been running on the treadmill for several years before, and my physical fitness should be no problem. After participating in the tour group activities, I saw that my friends made such rapid progress, and I soon tried to run farther and improve my speed. At that time, my subconscious was: You see, most of them run faster than me. I've always been very cautious, and I'm sure there will be no problem. This is a slow progress, and I must catch up.
At the beginning of May last year, I ran the 16 km long-distance race for the first time, and I basically ran a long-distance race every week for the next few months. I ran the first half horse in early July, and basically ran two and a half horses every month for the next two months. But once and a half horses in September, I began to feel pain in the forefoot of my left foot, and it became more and more severe, and it would hurt when I walked. From 10 months, I had to rest, which greatly reduced the amount of running. I didn't dare to run long-distance races or improve my speed for several months.
I know some people make rapid progress, but the foundation is really important. Run away, feet know. Step by step, from the combination of running and walking to extending running time, the result of gradual accumulation is that you can run longer in the years to come.
Another sign of patience is to know the importance of spending time outside of running. Learn correct posture, learn stretching movements, do enough warm-up and relaxation, and do core muscle training regularly. Over time, your body will naturally be ready to provide more stable support for your running. At this point, I didn't do very well. I have basically never participated in a professional training camp. I didn't ask the coach to watch my running posture. I just read books and watched videos by myself, and I didn't find my problems earlier.
In fact, in the running group, I didn't run much or fast, but I was injured. For this reason, I was once very wronged: why can't others run as much as me, and I can't? Probably everyone who is injured has this psychology: Why me?
Unknown white people at that time had different reasons. When I went to the hospital to see my feet, the doctor said that I was not a typical plantar fasciitis (the heel didn't hurt, mainly the forefoot), and I couldn't tell the reason for the pain. I just feel that my big toe bone is slightly everted and my forefoot is thick (in high school, my left forefoot has corns, which may have an impact). The doctor said, maybe your foot walking habit is not suitable for running, there is no good treatment, that is, run less and walk less. He also stressed that not everyone is suitable for long-distance running, so don't compete with your body.
But I still like running so much that I can't stop.
I read a lot of special articles, asked some coaches, and my running friends helped me find a lot of information. I also prepared tennis balls, frozen water bottles and bought professional muscle effect stickers.
It took me a while to start rehabilitation training, but I didn't stick to it very well. Always remember before doing it, I think it's not necessarily fasciitis anyway. The treatment of plantar fasciitis may not work, so I have been half-hearted and thinking about running. As long as I'm a little better, I've always wanted to run Anxiety, wanting to catch up with my friends' footsteps early, makes me even more impatient to insist on doing boring ankle turning, playing tennis, soaking my feet and grabbing towels every day.
In the first half of this year, my running volume increased gradually, from less than 80k per month to 140k in August. I still feel pain in my feet when running, but it will be better to adjust my foothold as running will ease. Until the last run in August, the weather was cool, the state was good, and the start was fast. 10 km has been running for another hour, almost a year, so I am still very happy. But in fact, my feet hurt when I was running halfway. The idea of running happily made me ignore these signals and still didn't slow down.
When I finished stretching, I felt obvious pain in my feet. When I was walking to lift my foot, I pulled it. The next day, it hurts to walk.
Sure enough, I didn't recover well. It was too hasty. In this way, it is necessary to enter the recovery period again.
In other words, for me, I should have done a good job of relaxing and patiently restoring my feet, but I was still anxious to stand on the runway and run decent results. I didn't take my pain seriously, and I didn't insist on pedicure. The present situation is a reflection of the accumulation of pain.
In fact, I am lucky, unlike some runners, who suffer from knee injury and iliotibial tract pain, and it takes a long time and great energy to recover. But because of this, I haven't paid enough attention to it. No matter what kind of pain, we should resist the urge to run and spend enough time to recover and adjust. Long-term neglect has turned into irreparable pain, which is the most terrible.
Haste makes waste, in fact, everything is the same. A solid foundation, if you stick to it, will naturally realize a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change.
For some lucky people, this process may be smooth and it doesn't take long, but for most ordinary people, a short leap is really unreliable, and it is unwise to overcome the pain and stick to the finish line only by perseverance.
It is not difficult to go forward, but it is difficult to slow down and know when to persist and when to give up. Body signals will be transmitted to you in various forms. All you have to do is listen patiently, distinguish and respond.
Life is so long, I don't want to get hurt because I want to run farther and faster, and I don't want to be forced to stop because I am in a hurry. If you want to run all your life and get old, you must begin to understand the importance of gradual progress and recover little by little.
Knowing this, I am determined to stop looking at the scale of running, stop caring about pace, pay more attention to running posture, resume training more, and use today's patience to get more enjoyable running tomorrow.
