According to Running USA, there are between 3 and 40 runners in the United States, 8-16000000, of which the most frequent runners (defined as those that run a minimum of 100 days per year) should be . The figures clearly show how the sport is a popular pastime in America has become this is.
But these figures also show questions, namely, despite the large number of frequent riders in America, there are about 1 to 20, the onlysporadic and occasional runner. This is a valid hypothesis, moreover, that many people are lax in terms of the current procedure (as demonstrated by a series of studies that have a strong correlation between boredom and levels of exercise have shown), largely out of boredom.
But boredom should not diminish the pleasure or the frequency of their sport. In fact, there are many techniques performed using professional, fun to reduce their operation and add the possibility of boredom.Three of the most popular of these techniques are cross-training, periodization and technological reasons.
Cross Training
cross training, or temporarily switching to a different kind of sports or exercise, is one of the most popular of current techniques for a simple reason-it works to combat boredom, keeping the body in a new (productive) way. There are many paths to use the cross-training of a runner to combat boredom and, in spite of adequate training offor the next round.
In water. Pool exercises, especially "water" must be an effective means of cross training for runners. The buoyancy of the water prevents the effects on the muscles and joints, which are so often in patches, while still an intense full body workout.
In the gym. Running on a track or a treadmill is not the only gym-based devices that can help improve the technical implementation. In fact, as standard gym equipment like ellipticalMachines, exercise bikes, stair stepper and imitate the movements made during a change in the race.
Training Studio. Although often not mentioned in the same category as race, exercises like yoga and Pilates exercises have a beneficial cross-training for runners. Both forms of exercise, gently stretch and lengthen muscles, especially the leg muscles, which are crucial for runners.
Periodization
Periodization refers to thePractice, the top runners use to improve performance, while the statement to avoid boredom. To this end, they share their years of training in segments of one or two months rent '. For each new segment of 'years, vary their training routine easily. This usually requires changing only one training session per week, varying slightly from the rest of the week training program.
There are many ways in which this practice can be implemented. For example, if you are usually on a track, go torunning on a different area / setting (such as an outdoor location) once a week for one cycle. If you normally run on a moderate but steady pace, switch to interval training (where you run to the highest limit of your capacity for several minutes to a predetermined number of sets during execution) once a week. If you normally walk alone, go with a friend (or group) to run once a week.
Periodization is not only undermine the boredom, but also prevent the bodymore comfortable with a routine training. Studies have shown that over time the body is extremely efficient in carrying out the routine of regular exercise, so that the same routine is no longer the same health benefits. Add a new routine for the new energy mix of body and mind.
Technological motivation
Boredom is a motivation Zapper Fortunately, there are a number of reasons, obviously the technology that reduce boredom and improve enforcement of theseTechniques.
Music. With the invention of the Walkman and (now) the iPod, there are runners on the track or the road or the treadmill with renewed enthusiasm. A number of studies have shown that music can be both the strain and boredom of repetitive tasks such as distraction of running. After the peak "[R] esearch Performance in the use of music on the move showed that a certain level of intensity, participants often report a reduction in fatigue (as measured by the rate ofof perceived exertion - RPE) during exercise with music "sound, as it seems, attracts the attention of the rider and puts them in a more fun, stimulating environment ..
Speed and distance tracker. Even though the runners are long, "using equipment such as a" step and mile track against the speed and distance of their equipment is often-questionable accuracy, the Nike + Sport Kit is that it has taken on a completely new one. With the help of GPS technology, sports kit includes aThe sensor is inserted into a Nike running shoes fit. This sensor calculates the duration of speed and calories burned then transmits this data wirelessly to your iPhone or iPod Touch.
heart rate monitor. The same GPS technology, heart rate monitor on the many simple examination of the heart rate to calculate the speed (brake shoe about usable), which moves to a more complete picture of the best education they offer. It also provides a visual indication of a"Wrist wearable" computer screen where the progress.
E-motivation. In the not too distant past, people came to help groups to encourage them in their chosen sport. Such support from his colleagues has a strong motivation. Today, however, is no longer physically necessarry to join the group. Rather, it is now possible to take the unit to you. Nike + Sport product of many sites that provide a runner (and other athletes) with a forum in whichpromote and communicate with each other. In addition, many of these sites have features such as progress trackers, records the custom fitness programs and activities to reduce boredom at the same time, increasing the incentives to create new (and better), running technique.
Many runners have to use these methods to successfully defend the boredom and keep their current vertical position routine. Each of these techniques have made a new element of fun or is taken to her. With a little effort,and ingenuity, you can also edit these methods much closer to their specific needs in relation to the improvement of execution.
