Many people think that running should be in a fast pace, at least not slowly, to get healthy benefits. In fact, sooner or later, running together to provide health benefits, both physical and mental, said Alissa Rumsey MS, RD, CDN, NSCA-CSCS.
"Many of my clients feel that they are not eligible to join the competition because it is very slow. In fact, running slow or fast, you will still reap many benefits. In fact, a recent report found that American runners have recorded a much slower race time in the last 20 years. That means you are not alone, "said Rumsey.
So before you throw away your running shoes, consider the reason why slow running is actually a good activity.
The risk of injury is reduced
One of the main reasons someone stops running is an injury. And one of the main causes of injury is running too fast or too hard. In fact, one risk of running at high speed is the emergence of extraordinary pressure and strain on your body.
After a quick run, both your muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones are at risk of some kind of trauma. In the long run, sustained trauma that is not handled properly can cause injury.
A good adaptation for the beginner runner
If you are a newcomer to running, slow running is a great way to introduce your body to running motion. This will help your tendons, ligaments, joints, bones and muscles build strength and get used to stress when running. Running slow is also a great way to keep up with the active movement after strenuous exercise.
Great mental and emotional benefits
No matter how sooner or later, the mental benefits of running sports are obvious. Running routines have been shown to reduce stress, increase self-worth, and even keep your mind sharp, followed by studies that show that running can protect your brain against Alzheimer's disease.
Whether because of the satisfaction of reaching the finish line or endorphins that appear after running, running is a real way to keep your good mood.
Cardiovascular health is better
Running very well for the heart, lungs, arteries, and research confirms that this benefit occurs regardless of how fast your running speed is.
Slow and fast have the same effect when the purpose of running is to lower blood pressure, cholesterol and heart disease risk. Unless your goal is to win, it's another story.
Running is more fun
Slowing runs are usually defined as running at a speed where you can still keep on conversation. You can keep chatting with friends while running and this is fun for some people.
Running does not always have to compete with other runners, not necessarily have to compete with time, but compete with distance while enjoying the fun.
