A very common question is, “How can I lose weight?” There are certainly many diet plans designed for weight loss, but to achieve better and faster results, healthy diet plans must be combined with exercise. Diet plans are designed to control the number of calories entering the body, while exercise burns the fat stored in the body. The question that arises here on the “Run” blog is: Does running help you lose weight?
11 days passed too fast, and I found myself in my room preparing for Marathon in London set to start the following morning, I was overjoyed and excited; the experience in Paris had given me the confidence I’d lacked before that race. Like a little girl, I went to bed early because I wanted that day to end so that tomorrow morning would come.
The winter clouds had cleared, and the sun cast its warm, golden rays upon all that God had created on earth to dry up the water that had flowed through the city streets during an unusually cold winter. Flowers bloomed and birds chirped, heralding the arrival of spring with the colors of its plants and blossoms, the blue of its sky, and the warmth of its days—and the time had come for my trip to Paris. It was still cold in early April in the City of Light. The plane touched down on the runway as I looked out my small window and wondered: Will I be able to cover the forty-two kilometers? Will I be able to make it?
After sticking with running for several months, I—and my family—were taken by surprise when my father fell ill. I couldn’t control my emotions, and my mind couldn’t come to terms with it—that loving father who raised and cared for me from the day I was born until I became who I am today had fallen ill. I started taking some sedatives, and my life was turned upside down. Months passed as if they were an eternity, until…
My story with running: this is how I started running, and this is how I developed and kept it up. My name is Ola Sami Asaad; I’m a nutritionist, businesswoman, and athlete. You can follow my pages dedicated to nutrition on the following social media platforms:
Running five kilometers—no matter your age or fitness level—is possible and achievable, and since this article is intended for beginners, we’ll start from scratch together. First, you should know that running and exercise in general help reduce
In May 2019, I met an American woman who went running twice a week with two Jordanian runners; they would run at 5:30 a.m. before heading to work. I joined them and started running on the street. I loved running at dawn; the atmosphere was quiet, and the morning breeze was refreshing and encouraging for exercise. I learned from them the importance of warm-ups, stretching, and regular training to achieve the desired results.
My name is Sami Qatami. My story with running isn’t a long one—I still consider myself a newcomer to the sport—but it began in a strange way I hadn’t expected, which is why I wanted to share it with others to encourage them to exercise.
What have I learned from running? Can we really learn anything just from running down the street? Can something like this really change our lives or even turn them upside down? Yes, it can—but first, forget about what this person did or what that person wore, and focus on the positives in everything around you. Notice all the beautiful and positive qualities in everyone who’s running around you and with you on your team or in your group, and you’ll learn a lot.
How can I run the first 1.5 kilometers without stopping? If you’ve never run before, it will take you a few weeks to run 1.5 kilometers without stopping, and that’s perfectly normal. Start by running for one minute, then walk for one minute. You can walk for two minutes as well if you feel you need to. There’s an expression in English that goes…
Some people believe that running fast is better than running slowly, but this is a misconception. In this context, there are two types of exercise: aerobic and anaerobic. Anaerobic exercise is emphasized in competitive sports that require high strength and speed, such as the 100- and 200-meter sprints. A simplified explanation of both types will be provided later. However, what we need for running medium and long distances and for running as a lifestyle is aerobic exercise, which involves running at a relaxed pace and low speed—or what we call jogging. Consistently practicing this type of exercise will increase your endurance, speed, and ability to run longer distances without feeling tired over time.
First, please note that this blog is not professional in nature nor based on scientific studies or principles; rather, it is based on my personal experience and observations. It’s also important to note that you should take your health into consideration and not start running until you’re sure you’re in good enough health to do so. Ask yourself, “How do I start running?”
