🏃♂️Let's talk the "trend" of running...🏃♂️
This past weekend marked a significant milestone for me as I completed my fastest 5k yet, breaking the 30-minute mark for the first time! 🎉 As I continue training for my first singles HYROX in October, running has become an integral part of my fitness regimen.
But beyond my personal achievements, I've observed a remarkable surge in the popularity of running, especially among my peers. Intrigued by this trend, I delved into the reasons behind its growing appeal, and what I discovered was fascinating:
📱 Influence of Social Media: Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube have become powerful advocates for running, with influencers sharing how it positively impacts their lives. The marketing of running has shifted from exclusivity to inclusivity, fostering a welcoming community for all.
💆♀️ Stress Relief: In today's fast-paced world, running offers a much-needed escape from the pressures of work, social expectations, and daily stressors. It forces us to focus solely on the present moment, providing a mental reset and rejuvenation.
🤳 Accessibility: Thanks to a plethora of running apps, getting started has never been easier. From beginner-friendly programs like Couch to 5k to advanced tools like Runna which helps with pace and route mapping, there's something for everyone to kickstart their running journey.
Now, I'd love to hear from you! Do you run? Share any hints or tips you have for fellow runners. And because I'm curious (and a bit nosy!), let me know what trainers you swear by for different types of running! 👟
I have recently got myself a pair of ASICS Corporation Novablast 4s and I really really want to get the Nike Vaporfly next % zoom 3 for race day!!
