Few doubt that running is very beneficial. How to force yourself and start jogging regularly.
Define running goals
Alas, if you do not understand yourself, why do you need to run, then you can hardly force yourself to do this. Even after going out for a run a couple of times, you will still give up this activity.
Moreover, your running goal should be really important to you. If a friend drags you with him for a run, then most likely you will quickly finish running, since the friend has an incentive, but you do not.
The most important goals for running are: strengthening the immune system, treating a number of diseases, which primarily include cardiovascular diseases, gaining self-confidence, increased endurance, self-development and striving to be better than others. That is, social status and one's own health are the main incentives for running. If you cannot find an incentive, then it is better not to start running, you are unlikely to like it, a rather boring activity if you do not understand what it gives.
Although, in fairness, it can be noted that after some time of regular training (usually two months), an addiction to this sport appears, and a person begins to run not for something, but precisely because he likes to run. And it doesn't matter if he is at home or on vacation in a hotel. Anywhere he will definitely find time to run.
Remember your results and improve them
You must make sure to memorize or write down all your runs. This will give you the incentive to run better for longer and faster next time to break your own record. Choose a distance for yourself and overcome it by running. Time yourself. After a week of training, arrange for yourself a mini competition and again try to run it at your maximum strength. You will see that the time has improved.
The technique is good in that you do not need to run relative to someone, but only relative to yourself yesterday. This both motivates and clearly demonstrates that progress is being made.
Running needs company
It is best to start running if you have like-minded people. Conversations during light jogging distract from the running itself, and it seems that less energy is spent. This is pure psychology. It is not for nothing that it is believed that not only the strongest, but also the most psychologically stable athlete wins in middle and stayer distances. Because when you run 100 meters, then there is no need to force yourself to endure. Until you start thinking about it, the distance will be over. But when your cross is over 30 minutes long, there will be plenty of time to think about how tired you are. And during this time, your body can demand dozens of times that you stop. Here you must either endure or have a company, during conversations with which you will not have to think about fatigue.
Music helps many. However, this is purely individual. For some, on the contrary, music interferes with listening to your body and does not give psychological relief.
Besides the company develops the spirit of rivalry, in which you strive at least to keep up with everyone, even if you are very tired. If I ran alone, I would definitely stop, and so I have to run further.
Try to run in the evening
Morning run it is much more difficult for beginners, since in addition to their own laziness, they also have to overcome the attraction of the bed. In the evening, when the body is already awake, it is much easier to force yourself to go for a run. However, if you are an early riser, and are used to going to bed early and getting up early, then running in the morning is what you need. Since it has a lot of advantages compared to running in the evening.
Buy sportswear
Not the most effective way, but sometimes it plays an important role. If you've spent money on a tracksuit and sneakers, then you will definitely want to put them on. But you just don't look like that in a tracksuit, only gopniks and athletes do this. But you are not a gopnik. So you need to become an athlete and go jogging.
Don't be afraid of pain while running
Most of the pain that occurs while running is an indicator of your poor physical fitness. Do not be afraid pain in the right and left sides, burning in the legs. What is worth paying attention to is tingling in the heart, in this case it is better to take a step, and dizziness, in which you can simply faint. If your heart and head work well while running, then run boldly, without fear of anything. We are not talking about people with any specific diseases. In their case, to run, you need to consult with experts.
The only thing is, if you choose the wrong shoes or run incorrectly, you can injure the leg muscles, the pain in which can be dangerous and sometimes it is better not to run after receiving injuries, but to rest for several days.
