  • I was feeling stagnant and finding it hard to concentrate, so I set myself a challenge to get me out of the house and clear the fog from my brain. I tried to run 5 kilometres every day for 31 days in October.

    9:45 that feeling you're talking about is often referred to "runners high", which is when your mind just becomes clear and running feels as eazy as taking a stroll.

      the other day i ran my first race on a last minute invitation from someone, a very hilly trail run 10k. i had no time to train, a shitty old pair of road shoes, and the furthest i’d run before was 4 miles at most, so i totally exhausted myself at the beginning and on the hills. but around the last 2ish miles i just started to feel so good, almost giddy, and taking in energy from the other runners and the volunteers at the aid stations. the finish felt amazing, and i’m really hooked now. just sore as hell.

      @@harrisonbrand8985 yeah doing a big distance straight out is a good way to get injured. Been feeling it myself after recently getting the running bug again. Trick is to start short & slow gradually increasing mileage per week by no more than 10-15%. Zone 2 heart rate is also optimal for long runs which is a really hard (slow) area to stay in. Can feel like your barely exercising but it is the best for increasing fitness.
      Hope your training is going well!

      There's actually 2 different things at play here. The "clear mind" effect is different from runner's high. It is due to our brains entering meditative state. At walking speed, our brains has plenty of capacity left for thoughts other than spatial analysis. But when you're running, your brain, who is not used to the task, needs to "focus" more on keeping up with the surroundings. The most important thing for your survival is to decode everything that's appearing and happening around you, the other people, the cars, the terrain, etc. So your brain will clear up any other thought and just focus on that alone. This is not a mindful process, it's an instinctive task running in the background, but it's enough to keep you from thinking about other stuff too hard. So you enter a meditative state. That's also why some people love driving (especially long drives on easy roads, not city traffic). At high speeds in a car, the brain does the same and you feel like your mind is clear, uncluttered.
      With runner's high, you experience euphoria through the release of endorphin. It's bliss. It's not reliable though and it typically happens after at least 30 minutes of exercise. But it does feel amazing.

      I don’t disagree with you in principle. You should not push your body if you feel discomfort or try these feats if you don’t have enough condition. If you are not new to running, don’t have pain while running, and have decent mechanics (180 spn cadence, not over stride) then this is a non issue. I actually have done it for longer than 30 days and feels great! You are super energize all the time, no need for coffee and sleep really well too… 😎

    After a 20 year hiatus I started running again at 58. The first 3 - 4 months were torture. But I stuck to it and got fitter and fitter. Three years later I am now 12 kilograms lighter than when I started and I'm training for my second 100 kilometre ultramarathon. In my first 100km I was passed in the last 5kms by a seventy year old! Age is therefore no barrier. Discipline and Determination are the key factors in both running and life as a whole. Well done Andy.

I started on the 1st of January 2021 and will only stop on the 1st of January 2022. So yeah today I completed my 3rd month in a row! Running is actually an amazing sport, wish more people did it and found out the benefits it brings. Specially the benefits to the brain. It really makes you feel happier and relaxed.

I wish more people would realise that running is good for you if you learn from others mistakes. Awesome effort all round. I have done 5k RED January (with a couple of half marathons thrown in lol) but I was previously running 10k alternate days so it was just spreading out the same distance over the days. Good video and you'll enjoy the half marathon. If you push for speed sometimes, read up and give yourself time to adapt to faster paces, with rest days and not increasing weekly mileage at same time as increasing pace. This way will be better for your knees AND your brain.

    Really nice summary of your monthly run. Great achievement. Well done mate! Without doubt a training exercise which boosts our mind and help to crack our goals is a very important part of life. I think a reward of some kind is also essential to unlock those hidden adrenalines we all behold. Even if it a pathetic mobile app flashing up a medal. I’ve done my fair bit of running and cycling in life to help me keep sane and will continue to do so.

      Thanks, Andrew! Yeah, I think it's vital for a clear head - if I don't exercise at all for a few days I definitely feel that fog return, and small rewards are a handy way of ensuring you hit your targets, although hitting the targets themselves becomes its own reward.

      Ditto, I changed my running style to “barefoot running style” it’s more of a running on the balls of your feet rather than heel to toe. It lets the muscles in your calf and Achilles cushion the impact rather than your ankle/knee taking all of the absorption from the heel strike impact. Try it for a minute or two and if you hate it switch back
