Running

🏃 Running

Running has been part of my routine since late 2023. I prefer treadmill running with breaks over outdoor runs — music keeps me engaged.

🎯 Why Running?

Running is a simple yet effective way to:

• 🫀 Improve cardiovascular health
• 🦵 Strengthen legs and core
• 🧠 Build mental endurance
• 💦 Provide a full-body workout

The post-run sweat is oddly satisfying.

🆚 Running vs. Other Exercises

1. Solo Activity – Running is a personal challenge, great for mental resilience.
2. 🎵 Music-Friendly – Spotify recommendations make runs more enjoyable.
3. 📍 Flexible – All you need is good running shoes. Treadmill or outdoors, it works.
4. 📈 Boosts VO₂ Max – More running (especially endurance) improves aerobic capacity, helping in other sports.

Running complements my swimming routine well, providing variety in my fitness regimen. For more insights on my fitness journey, check out my posts on exercise.
