Art of running

Never thought that there are so much knowledge into running.
Most of us probably will just run for the sake of fitness, or part of physical training.
I came to realise that there are more to it.
Recently bought a book about running techniques - Master the Art of Running.
Halfway through the book, i had already found myself running the wrong way.
Now, you are probably wondering is that a wrong way of running.
Well, the answer is yes and many of us are doing it.

I have been running for the past 1 year, never did i think about the way i run
or the way i breathe, the way i land my foot.
Although my timing had improved through the year, i find myself stuck at a
point where i could not exceed myself.
No doubt i have been running very regularly but running the wrong way as well.
Even though many regards me a good runner now, i do not see myself as good
or near the best. Instead, i'm still far away as good.

There seem to be a new leash of life in running now.
There are so much to learn about this simple sport.
From posture to breathing to technique, i seem to be starting all over again.
But i am glad i learning the right way now.
I got the foundation. I just need to correct and get used to the corrrect way of running.
It is going to be difficult but definitely beneficial.

Learn the art of running and enjoy it.
Then results will come...
