Although the ultimate goal of running varies from person to person, many people start running with the desire to have a healthy body. After all, when something goes wrong with the body, the most common advice we hear is "exercise more". Obviously, running is the easiest way to get started, and as more and more people choose to run, it is gradually becoming the first choice for the masses. However, as time went on, people's mindsets shifted, and running was no longer just for health, but instead stimulated an inner desire to compete. Once there is such a competitive spirit, what would otherwise be a purely pure goal can be distorted, for example, more and more people are aiming for marathons.

The marathon inspires our desire to challenge long distances, but also to surpass others in speed. Therefore, at the same distance, when we are at a higher pace than others, we feel content. In fact, we've always advised everyone to approach running with a Buddhist attitude, regardless of others, and just keep your own pace. But now, many people seem to have strayed from this philosophy, and the 6 speed is considered to be slow, or even considered the starting speed when a runner is first getting involved in running. However, if what we are really pursuing is a health run, then the 0 distribution speed is actually not slow.

Wellness runs are not speed races, and the most important reference is not pace, but heart rate. Our heart rate must be within a certain range, and this range varies depending on our age. The maximum running heart rate for each person should be 150 minus age, for example, if you are 0 years old, the maximum heart rate should be 0, which is a safe boundary. However, in order to maintain a healthy run, the heart rate must be kept below 0. For some people with a high heart rate, the heart rate at 0 may already be at or above 0, so the pace needs to be reduced until the heart rate is back in a reasonable range.

However, many people tend to be overly engaged when running, and the originally planned rhythm is gradually forgotten during the run, blindly pursuing speed, and as a result, the original intention of healthy running is gradually distant. Luckily, there are many devices available today that can measure heart rate, which is an essential feature of many sports watches. However, due to the different principles of different devices, in order to ensure the stability and accuracy of the data, it is more appropriate to choose a heart rate belt. They are not expensive, but they are more practical. Unless we're competitive athletes, we should all choose a wellness run to ensure safety and maximize the benefits of running. I hope this resonates with everyone.
