Running isn't just about losing pounds. Running is almost a new life.

Running has an undeniable positive effect on health, so many people start doing it in order to reduce weight, strengthen the cardiovascular system, and temper the body. However, the matter is not limited to purely physical influence, and gradually running changes your whole life. In this article, we will discuss the unexpected consequences of running.

1. You will begin to understand the anatomy and physiology of the human body.
2. You will understand the benefits of proper nutrition. After seeing how difficult it is to workout after the holidays and hearty dinners, you will inevitably fall in love with fruits, vegetables and oatmeal.
3. You will learn to find a reason to show off your records in any conversation.
4. Your loved ones will love running too. No options.
5. Your body will begin to change. Your belly will lose some fat and your legs will become more muscular. These changes will occur gradually, but quite clearly, so that those acquaintances who have not seen you for a long time will begin to round their eyes in surprise when they meet.
6. You will no longer be surprised that people are ready to pay several thousand dollars for the right to fly to another country, put a piece of paper with a number on their chest and run several tens of kilometers in the company of the same madmen.
7. You will try to captivate your friends by running. And you will understand how hopeless this is.
8. Therefore, you will make new friends. Intimate conversations with them about new sneakers and foot positioning techniques will make you practically related.
9. You will learn from your own experience that a kilometer has different lengths. One kilometer at the end of the course can accommodate two or three regulars.
10. Exercise will start to bring you real pleasure. It turns out that endorphins exist and are available without age restrictions.
11. The word trauma will appear in your vocabulary. And behind it are the words "warm-up", "stretching" and perhaps even "yoga".
12. The weather forecast will take on additional meaning for you.
13. You will begin to understand sports technology. Comparison of the moisture permeability of fabrics, the method of processing the seams and the composition of the sole surface can captivate you for more than one evening.
14. Your attitude towards sportswear will change. Now it will take its proper place and will be used mainly for its intended purpose. That is, for playing sports, and not in order to go to the store or take a walk.
15. Gradually, your main goal will fade into the background. You have already lost weight, become healthier and younger, but you will not be able to quit running.
16. You finally have time to listen to new music, audiobooks and podcasts.
17. You will often be called crazy. In fact, this means that you are on the right track.
18. Sometimes, somewhere at the end of the race, you’ll tell yourself that it’s never again. The day after the finish, you will already agree on a new start.
