Why I run
Not about pace or calories — about the moment your brain tells you to stop and you don't.
Honestly, it’s not about getting faster or burning calories. I just like what it does to my head.
There’s a point in almost every run when your heart rate climbs, your legs are tired, and your brain starts telling you to stop. And you don’t. You keep going.
Somehow, after that, the annoying situation or the boring task on the to-do list stops looking like a big deal.
Running reminds me that being uncomfortable isn’t the end of the world. The thing worth training is endurance, and it’s mostly trained against yourself. If I can keep going for another kilometre when I really don’t want to, I can probably get through most other things.
That’s where I stand on it.
