Growing up, I didn't think of myself as an athlete in any way. Exercise and sports intimidated me so much and I avoided them at all costs. But then, my college RA told me that he didn't even think that I could run two miles — and that lit a fire under me.
Hi! I'm Matthew. And when I tell you that I was not a runner for most of my life, I am not lying.As evidenced by the fact that I am dressed as a whoopie cushion eating a Snickers bar with a plate of...yes...ranch dressing in front of me.To be real though, I did not think of myself as a runner or an athlete in any way. Exercise and sports intimidated me so much and I avoided them at all costs.
And so I started training. It was the middle of winter, so I was doing laps around an indoor track at my college, but I was doing it. It was miserable, but I was not about to let someone tell me I wasn't good enough to run two miles.Well, I eventually ran those two miles. And it turns out that — at least for me — running two miles wasn't actually that hard once I got used to running. Running at the start was low-key miserable, but if I pushed through it, it got easier and easier.
he goal, therefore is getting your mind to be unfazed by jogging and to do that, you've got to jog. Even if it's only a few blocks, if you do it consistently several times a week, you'll be amazed by how soon you'll be able to run a mile.Another misconception is that a run doesn't count if you walk. Au contraire. Especially at the start walking is your friend .
