The Feel

Actually, it is very important to have The Feel during all your running sessions. We always end our run with a smile. No matter how hard is the training, we still find that it is good for us and we appreciate it. I have friends who hate running or other physical sports. They are always forced by some reasons or someone into doing it. No one likes anything if they are forced to do it. Therefore, it is not the sport but them, don’t blame the sport. Do it willingly and enjoy it.

Back to The Feel, run till a point when you can hear your own breathing, hear your own footstep and feel your running posture. Check them constantly. It will improve your running - both the timing and the FEEEEL~

Gradually, you will feel the change yourself. You will get more and more comfortable in doing so. Unlike other sports, running needs to be self-motivated and you can do it on your own. It is important that you have The Feel and enjoy in doing so.

Think about it the next time when you are going for a run.
