I finally committed myself to beginner's training for a 5k run with a professional, which is probably the best option in my case. Running a 5k is on my 30 things before 30 list and just a healthy activity that I think would be enjoyable. I think Jogging is just a fun and beautiful thing; you are outside with nature, using your whole body, you just feel a sense of wholeness and makes you feel awesome.
My goal is to run to feel good and have fun. Not necessarily that I want to lose weight; I am happy with whatever body I have as long as I am keeping my body content.
Day One Of Training
I have training twice a week, Monday & Wednesday 5:30pm-6:30pm
Today I learned the four simple steps to
good form.
- Posture
- Mid-foot
- Cadence
- Lean
And then we did a one mile run on the big track outside the student rec center. I must say I was slightly surprised at how out of shape I am to run. I went around the track one time and had to walk half of the track on the second round and then i'd run all the way around and then walk again for half of the track. I went around the track a total of 4 times, which is a mile. My lungs and body were just working against
me, probably saying something along the lines of, "What? What are you doing Sloan? We are not use to this, slow it down!" I have a long way to go in six weeks, but I am hoping that this beginners training will pay off and I will be a 5k champ and run with all my other cool friends and my body will thank me after.
