HOW TO START RUNNING?

Juokseminen on ehka yksi "helpoimmista" harjoitusmuodoista ajankaytonsuhteen! Ei tarvitse sitoutua aikatauluihin vaan voi juosta juuri silloin kun itselle sopii! Taloudellisesti juoksu on halpa harrastus, kunhan satsaa hyviin lenkkareihin. Ilmallakaan ei ole niin valia, kun tietaa, etta kotona paasee lampimaan suihkuun tai vaikka saunaan! Ei siis tekosyita!!

Juoksemisen aloittaminen voi alkuun tuntua hieman hankalalta ja turhauttavaltakin... Vaikka kavelylenkit ja salitreenit sujuisivatkin hyvin, on juokseminen eri asia... Moni "vihaa" juoksua juuri sen aloittamisen raskauden takia, mutta kun vauhtiin paasee niin mikaan ei esta kehittymista, kunhan malttaa aloittaa rauhallisesti. Moni hurahtaakin siihen aivan taysin ja viime vuosina juoksemisesta ja erilaisista juoksutapahtumista (varsinkin maratoneista) on tullut oikea "muoti-ilmio".

Running is probably one of the easiest way to exercise for time management! You can run when ever it best suits for your own schedule. It doesn't matter what's the weather like as long as you have a suitable gear. And warm shower and maybe even a sauna is waiting for you. So no excuses!

But getting started might be first a bit challenging... Even if you are fit and used to exercising, running is completely different and that's why many people hates it at first. You just need to start easy and keep it comfortable and nothing can stop you! After getting over that hard period, many people starts to love it. You can see it with growing enthusiast with all kind of races (especially marathons)!
