TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — In this week’s episode of Run For Fun, we solicited answers to the question, “What do you wish you’d known before you started running?”
At first, running seems like an easy way to stay in shape, we’ve been doing it since we were kids. No rules to learn, no hand-eye coordination, etc. Just put on some shoes and put one foot in front of the other.
As running becomes more of a regular part of your routine, you realize there is much to learn. You learn what gear works best for you and your running style. There’s technology that shows you data, so you can stay focused without overtraining.
More Run for Fun:
On top of learning about running itself, you learn a lot about yourself. Many of the responses had to do with what running taught them about life and what they overcame along the way.
There are also funny things like wearing “too short” shorts that they wish they hadn’t worn.
Leigh Spann and Coach Maria discuss what they wish they’d known before they started running and take a more in-depth look at others’ responses.
Be sure to watch or listen to previous episodes of Run for Fun, so you can learn more about the joy of running.
