Global Running Day
Whether you need to get back in the habit or start a new one, take the opportunity to improve your health and well-being by going for a run. Plus, it’s free!
The pavement under your feet, the crisp snap of early morning air, the pounding rhythm as you run the distance one long flowing stride at a time. Sweat trickling down your neck, the sun on your skin, your lungs burning with joyous exaltation as your heart beats a rapid but steady staccato in time with your running legs.
This is the joy of running, and every year millions of people all over the world find themselves out on the open road experiencing the joy, the thrill, and the pain, of recreational running.
Global Running Day celebrates these intrepid souls and their dedication to health and exercise, we should all join them.
History of Global Running Day
Running describes a particular gait of movement where, in general, both feet leave the ground at some point during the stride. That’s not to say that running always happens at the same speed, as gaits can change from person to person. Jogging and Sprinting are both considered forms of running but it doesn’t matter what speed you travel, if you’re out running you’re a runner!
Believe it or not, humans couldn’t always run. Admittedly, it was a long time ago when that was the case. When Australopithecus (our first upright ancestor) was evolving almost 4.5 million years ago, we gained the ability to have a long-striding run nearly. This stride was vital to our existence because as a species we engaged in what is known as ‘persistence hunting’, where catching our prey often involved days of hunting on foot in order to track and wear the animal down until it could no longer flee, and would collapse from pure exhaustion.
Millions of years on, and a long time since we needed to chase down our prey, we’ve never lost our ability to run and instead we made it a competition. Global Running Day celebrates the entire history of running, what it meant to our ancestors and what it still means to us today and is designed to bring together those people who absolutely love running and to encourage those who have yet to give it a try to put on their running trainers and to give it a go.
Benefits of running
You don’t need to be a scientist to know that running is good for you. In the most basic sense, running is a great form of exercise, getting your blood pumping and your heart rate up, burning calories and improving your physical health. But running won’t only help you to lose weight and get fit, it can help your mental health too, by working as a form of meditation in motion, reducing stress and lowering anxiety.
How to get better at running
If you’ve tried running before and were shocked at how hard you find it then this isn’t an excuse to give up altogether. Marathon runners weren’t born able to run marathons, and so if you’ve never run before then you need to manage your expectations. Why not start with some guidance from an App like the Couch to 5K, where you will slowly build up your stamina by walking and running in short intervals until eventually, you can run a full 5 kilometers without stopping.
Here are some tips to help you with your running:
Invest in good footwear Running puts a lot of pressure on your feet, so be sure to buy a good pair of running trainers that will give you the required arch and ankle support. The right trainers will give you more spring in your step and will stop you from getting nasty blisters.
Always warm-up and cool down Woah, hold your horses, you can’t just run off into the sunset without doing a proper warm-up. The good news is that warming up is easy, simply start your run with a brisk walk, get your heart rate up and after 5 minutes, off you pop.
Alternate between running and walking There’s this misconception that to be a runner you can’t stop, but this is just unrealistic. Until you can run longer distances, set yourself targets to run for 60 seconds then walk for 60 seconds, increasing the running time when you need more of a challenge.
How to celebrate Global Running Day
Really, the only way to celebrate Global Running Day is by getting out and starting to run. Whether you’ve run before or have never tried in your life, simply put on your running shoes, get out of the house and begin. Distance doesn’t matter, neither does walking when you need to catch your breath – running is a flexible sport that can be scaled up or down to suit all ages and abilities – the only important thing is that you begin.
If it’s your first run then, don’t overdo it, just start with a slow jog to begin with and take as long as you need to travel the distance. As you start feeling more confident you may want to up your pace or lengthen your run.

#TBT ❤ 2015 Pra Cá •//(🤓) Hoje ,estudando Psicofisiologia, Corrida de Rua e seus benefícios para Saúde Física e Mental, recebo este depoimento da Minha Aluna e Médica Anestesista Juliana Bueno 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Devemos estar no caminho certo 🙌🏿 . . 📸 @jubg . . . . . #👟Dia Mundial da Corrida e do Edu👟 . Quando comecei a correr lá em 2015 - 2016 não foi por esporte. Não foi pra qualidade de vida, não foi buscando saúde, ou melhorar o cardio. . Foi pq eu precisava de tempo. Eu precisava de tempo pra pensar, digerir, precisava de paz, gastar as energias ruins da época mais difícil da minha vida. . Foi o @edurun que me proporcionou tudo isso através da ferramenta da corrida. Ele me deu o que eu mais precisava naquele momento: PAZ. . GRATIDÃO eterna pela corrida? Sim. Mas mais ainda por vc, Edu, que me guiou, orientou, me ouviu, incentivou, deu bronca, vibrou comigo e até secou minhas lágrimas de alívio na Meia Maratona de Buenos Aires em 2017. Até lá vc estava comigo. Esse dia eu zerei a vida e segui. . O esporte não �� algo que promove qualidade de vida... ele é a qualidade de vida. . #CagueiProPace 🤪✌🏻 . . . #EduRun 👊🏿 #AsicsBrasil 🖤 #CorridadeRua 🏃🏿♂️ #GlobalRunningDay 🏅 #ASICSFrontRunner 🇧🇷 #JuntosNessaLoucura 🤪 #SoundMindSoundBody 🧘🏿♂️ (em São Paulo, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeTmF9srBil/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
