So running is a great and free way to get exercise, burn calories and get or stay in shape. But it can get old if you just do the same thing over and over again. And when something gets old, you stop doing it, then its of no benefit to you.
While I was researching another topic of interest I came across this post on Zen Habits from a couple of years ago. Leo puts forth 10 (sort of) different running routines to help spice it up a bit and keep you going when you might have wanted to stop.
| "Your body adapts. After a month or so of doing one type of workout, you body will adapt and you’ll no longer be getting the same kind of benefits from that workout. You need to change things up every 3-4 weeks … and if you do, you’ll most likely see continued improvements." |
This is true not only for running but for all exercises. That's why I look for so many different exercises to rotate through. But running is about the single best aerobic workout that we can get for free and with no equipment, so knowing how to shake it up is very important.
