Running

 

1. I think it’s because running teaches you how to persist. The entire act of running is to not listen to your body’s urges to stop and to persist instead.

2. You will also learn how to focus on a singular goal, to keep your legs moving until you reach your destination. The skill of focus is one of the most underrated and misunderstood. Many people think your ability to focus is inborn, but I know from personal experience it’s a skill that we train through out the day.

3. Running also tends to weed out bad habits like smoking because it’s so difficult to run and to keep smoking.

4. Also when you travel, you will get a intimate view of the city because you will know what it’s like to see the city on foot.

5. You will also be able to learn things because podcasts​ and books are some of the best things to listen to while you are on a long run.

6. Also runners tend to eat healthier which helps them lose weight and have good skin. I know I don’t like eating fried food if I’m going to be running later because I will feel sluggish.

7. When you run you also feel very confident because you will feel like you are becoming a stronger person.

8. Finally, you should run, because one day, you won’t be able to.
