    1) Calming
    2) Free Therapy
    3) Can vary heart rate zones
    4) Moving full body through space is always preferred to stationary/isolation actions
    5) It’s passive (run anytime, run with a friend, just need a few minutes, no time constraints/scheduling)
    6) Satisfies ADHD (need for changing scenery and mental stimulation that walking can’t provide)
    7) Allows one to EAT MORE as more calories are burned than many other movement options
    8) No equipment needed, only space to run through
    9) Survival tool (traversing the world may not always be as simple as calling for an Uber…)
    10) Builds a base (can do anything requiring a physical base like sports, helping a friend move, remaining independent in old age, etc.)
    11) Helps build muscle, provided protein and other macro/micro-nutrient needs are met (aids recovery, oxygen delivery, stimulates a different kind of protein synthesis, etc.)
    12) Endogenous antioxidant production (trains body to produce more, provided overtraining does not occur and lessen mitochondrial health over time)
    13) Sleep improvement (Heart Rate Variability and other factors linked to running that help with sleep quality)
    14) An excuse to travel
    15) Sunlight exposure (Vitamin D synthesis and other benefits)
    16) Meet like-minded people who enjoy running and the benefits it brings them
    17) Burns a lot of calories (similar to reason #7, not many other activities burn as many calories per volume/time as running)
    18) Good for the brain, many emotional and mental health benefits linked to running (brain “plasticity”, etc.)
    19) Because it’s HARD (get comfortable being uncomfortable, teach the body to adapt)

    I run, I weight lift, but I mostly LOVE skipping! ☺ Yeah... it puts me in such a childlike joy state. It's super good on the lymph system which basically detoxes you faster. 15-20 mins non-stop skipping gives a great heart rate amp up. I totally agree, more aerobic creates better sleep. Weight lifting in major, actually gives me insomnia often, makes me grind my teeth at night; usually waking up then with a slight headache. 💥💪😀

    Tom you’re a legend mate, 10-13 hit the nail on the head !!! These are the main benefits I notice from running my number 1 thing why I love running is as simple as this.
    RUNNING IS THE MOST HUMAN THING WE COULD EVER DO!!!!! we are blessed with a body and I wasted so many years doing what my circle told me to do, study, work, eat till your full, eat and relax. Running is for kids, be an adult.
    Running is the most fundamental
    Human things we could ever do. Humans have been migrating running moving since our very genesis and it makes me feel connected to SOMETHING. I don’t know what but when I run I feel connected and very “proud” to be alive.

    I ran my first marathon at age 50. If you can run, try it! (Many people truly can't run due to problems with their bodies that don't allow it, so I am grateful that I can, even though I'm "slow" compared to a lot of runners.). I use the Galloway method, which means I have regular intervals of walking and running during a run. LOVE it and have never been injured that way.

    Although all my runs are slow runs it makes me feel euphoric.
    I also enjoy cycling but something about running is just different.
    Although I do strength and conditioning for muscle maintenance and injury prevention it does absolutely nothing for me. The only thing that motivates me to do strength and conditioning is that it helps me prevent running injuries allowing me to run more.

      Professional runners Don train that way unless they have a specific workout for fat burning improvement.
      But running a fast half or full Marathon isn't burning fat as it's a higher zone run than in the fat burning zone.

    • @richardmiddleton7770

  • @jasonhurst8599

    What would be the best/closest substitute/equivalent to running for someone who is unable to run (or even jump rope) due to physical limitations? (Nerve damage, balance issues, peripheral Neuropathy)

    • @XTR02
      @XTR02 Год назад +3

      What about biking? I used to go on long distance bike rides, like 20 miles, which this was just as great as going on a 5 mile jog.

    • @jasonhurst8599
      @jasonhurst8599 Год назад +1

      @JohnGunKillU I was thinking about that. I'd have to test to see if I am able to balance on a bike (either stationary or a "regular" bike)
      And also see if I'd be able to pedal fluently as the nerve damage affects the muscles on Each side of my legs differently. (I have more strength and control on my right side than on my left.) But it is something I will definitely look into. Thanks.
      The most frustrating thing is I know HOW to run, I can "program" my mind/thoughts/desire to WANT TO run (or jump, jump rope, etc); but because of the nerve damage the signal between my brain and the don't muscles involved gets blocked or partially interrupted so I don't get the full or complete amount of energy/"fuel" or amount of "combustion" or force into the activity. Like I could squat down and build up the tension/force/pressure in my quads, glutes, hamstrings, thighs, etc that would allow a healthy person to be able to SPRING UP and jump say 3 feet or higher; yet when I "spring up" I'm lucky if I jump 3 inches. And this is even after I've lost 200 lbs, workout regularly, have done a minimum of 50, then 100, and now 200 Push-Ups a day, every day since November 2020, and a minimum of 100 Mountain Climbers daily since February 2021; so it's not that I'm in terrible shape or lazy. It honestly pisses me off. It is also the main motivational factor that keeps me going. It's my own fault for getting in the condition I was - and the resulting consequences - so I want to do all I can to not only make sure I never go back to how I was; but also to try and become the best version of myself as possible.

    if you can't run, walk, if you can't walk, crawl, if you can't crawl, stand and sit, if you can't do either, move. something can always be done. running is indeed tops but I have PFS in my left knee since age 19 and now all I can do is power walk or jog just gently. running does release the highest dose of endorphins though, and a massive flood at that...compared to any other form of training.

    I fear the new narrative about cardio being bad. the only way to condition your VO2 max is cardio. VO2 max is the most relevant predictor of longevity. I love running!! I've had to tone it down due to over training, but I just don't feel right if I don't run. I've also gained weight when I stepped back from running, so there's definitely something to running.

    At 73 years old I prefer racewalking in which I repeatedly accelerate and decelerate over set time intervals while I continue to walk. It's easier on my knees than running and helps me to expend more calories compared to standard 3 mph walking. I precede racewalking with a 10 minute warm up period during which I walk at a constant leisurely speed.

    1 Main reason running is the worst cardio. Knees and impact injuries you don't see until you are old enough to really need to worry about them. You should look towards a cardio that has less impact and adverse effects on your knees and joints. Longevity is more important to some people.

    “Satisfies my squirrel brain”. This is officially my new motto. I think I started to say it once but my squirrel brain forgot so I took a run! 😂

    Love that phrase, “I get exhausted moving slow”. Huge appreciation for us with squirrel brains. ✅
