More. That’s what today is all about. More… much more. But hang on isn’t that contrary to popular belief? Isn’t less better than more? I mean are there not studies proving less is better? What’s up with running more? Let’s get some clarity. Strava.. 21.5 million uploads to the platform each week On average, the average distance per run is 6.3km or 6.6km for male runners and 5.5km for female runners. he average run globally was 38 minutes and 48 seconds. In the US, the average runner heads out for a run of 3.7 miles, which lasts an average of 35 minutes and 29 seconds. That’s not a lot. If you are a healthy fit individual. Its like a short alk in a shopping mall. You can cover that distance walking in your home. Definitely there is space to do more. Doing more, will lead to running further, will lead to different training being required and that’s when you are expanding your boundaries. That’s when you are making new experiences. When you are moving forward as a runner. Now of course there could be that thought in your head. I once heard you shouldn’t run too much. Or “there once was a study that said” … things like that. Well if you base your current state on external factors, you wont find joy. Ho about ignoring that, and trying, doing, experiencing before finding reasons why something doesn’t work.And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Thanks for listening, my name is Heiko, God bless you and remember… take it easy.
