Your health when running

| November 8, 2011 | 1 Comment

Talking to a friend the other day about health and related matters. (I now need to wear glasses all the time was the starting point for the discussion).

When we run (and I suppose this goes for people that do other sports) we tend to lose ourselves in a bubble. We lose track of the rest of the world and how they think and feel. They don’t know the slightest thing about heart rates, running technique and the like.

The closest most people get is watching the London marathon on TV.

BUT as far as we are concerned – we tend to take ourselves for granted.

Like I said, I now have to wear glasses all the time and eyesight is a fine example of this. My optician said (something like) “Your eye muscles have lost power and that is down to your age”

So – what do you to look after yourself?

Bear in mind – you are not bullet proof superman (or woman)

What would happen if you got injured when running?

Have a look at these guys – they helped me recently…

    I agree! The best thing a runner can do for them self is to stretch, and so many people don’t! It feels great, it helps keep you clear of injury and takes 3 minutes! People definitely take their body for granted, and I”m glad you pointed that out!
