Running is a great hobby that combines benefit and pleasure. There are many reasons why people start running. For example, for weight loss, health, to strengthen muscle mass. In general, running is interesting for many reasons.
Running is a popular activity
As stated above, many people are involved in running for a variety of reasons. Another reason to go jogging is because it can be combined with meditation. While jogging, a person does not think about anything bad, so running at an easy pace is like diving into a trance.
Running also develops willpower well, because it is difficult for an ordinary person to get up an hour before work and go for a run, and for those who are running, it is easy, though not immediately. Another reason to start running is accessibility.
You can run anywhere, anytime, and it doesn't take years of training. But still, in order for running to bring more effect, it is worth attending special courses. There are quite a variety of running schools, which will be described in detail in this article.

Runner reviews of running schools
For seven years now I have been going to Krasnogvardeets, a very good club for not much money. Preparation for classes is free, and the classes themselves are only 200 rubles.
Michael
One of the best schools in St. Petersburg is I LOVE RUNNING, which increased its performance in less than 2 months. But I still continue to go there.
Andrew
There is not much money, so at first I ran on my own. Then I came across Run_Saintp, also everything is free, but in a circle of like-minded people.
Julia
The proRunning club is expensive, I didn't go there myself. Friends say that the school is not bad enough.
Boris
Second Breath is a cool club, I have a lot of fun. Oleg Babich is great.
Victor
I went to the Outdoor School run, but it's quite expensive, the whole course costs about 22 thousand rubles. Then I found Piranha, not as professional as Outdoor School run, but cheap.
Natalia
A typical marathon runner is not a bad club, sent his wife there. The effect was amazing.
Valery
She started walking in I LOVE RUNNING, in 2 months she achieved great success in running.
Tatyana
I liked the Red Guard very much, jogging on busy roads is to my liking. Besides, I'm not local. And the club helped me to get to know the city.
Nikita
proRunning is a good club, expensive, but effective.
Maria
There are a lot of clubs for those who like to run in the city on the Neva. Therefore, everyone can find for themselves what will be to their liking. But if, for whatever reason, there is no opportunity to attend running schools, you can practice on your own, no one can forbid it.
