New Year Resolutions

Every year, millions of people make New Year’s resolutions, hoping to spark positive change. The recurring themes each year include a more active approach to health and fitness, improved finances, and learning new things for personal and professional development.

However once the glow of a fresh new year wears off, many people struggle to make good on their plans. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, only 46% of people who made New Year’s resolutions were successful. That means over half of the people who set a goal for the new year will fail!

The study also involved non-resolver, people who did not make a New Year’s resolution but had a goal they wanted to achieve that year. Only 4% of non-resolver were successful at achieving their goals, a far bleaker result than those who did make a New Year’s resolution.

Naturally, we don’t want to be in the camp of folks that fail to achieve their aspirations and dreams for 2020, so we’ve put together an exhaustive plan for following through on your resolution.

Let me tell you what is my new year's resolution...........Running daily is going to be my new years resolution

Why should you choose running daily as your new year's resolution

Running every day may have benefits for your health. Studies show that the benefits of running for just 5 to 10 minutes at a moderate pace (6.0 miles per hour) each day may include:

• reduced risk of death from heart attack or stroke
• reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
• lower risk of developing cancer
• lower risk of developing neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases

While these benefits can be achieved by a minimal amount of daily running, a group of dutch researchers recommends running 2.5 hours per week, or 30 minutes, five days a week to enjoy maximum longevity benefits.

Other benefits of running may include improved sleep and mood. Researchers in one study observed a group of healthy adolescents who ran for 30 minutes at a moderate-intensity pace every morning for three weeks. Their sleep, mood, and concentration ability during the day tested better than a control group of non-runners.

You may be able to experience these same benefits from 30 minutes of other daily activity, too, such as walking, cycling, swimming, or yoga.

How to run every day

Supplies

The only items you need to start running every day include a pair or two of running shoes and socks. You may want to alternate between two pairs of shoes in case one gets wet or muddy.

You’ll also need sweat-resistant running clothes like shorts and T-shirts. If you run at night or in the early morning, get a reflective vest or light for safety.

Weekly plan

How often you run each week should depend on your goals and physical fitness level. For example, if you’re a beginner, you don’t need to start out running every day because you’re at a higher risk of burnout or injury. Instead, start by running every other day for 20–30 minutes. Consider trying a couch-to-5K program to start.

Fitting in enough time to run daily or several times a week can be a challenge. Try to run first thing in the morning before your day gets busy. Or, run during your lunch break. Look for run clubs and running meetups in your area for support and motivation. Do short runs during the week, and save your long runs for the weekends when you have more time.

If you’re an experienced runner and plan to run every day, it’s important to schedule your weekly training with plenty of variety. For example, one day a week you could do a long run at your goal race pace. You could spend another day on speed work. One to two days could be short, recovery runs. The other days can be spent doing a hill workout, where you run up an incline repetitively to build up strength in your legs. You also can run or jog in a pool for an active recovery.

You can also get a treadmill for home use to make your run much comfortable

Some safety tips

Overuse injuries are often the result of doing too much, going too fast, or working too hard. If you do choose to run every day or even most days, there are some important things you should do reduce the strain on your body.

• Pace yourself. Easy runs at a comfortable, conversational pace are less stressful on your joints and muscles.
• Increase your miles or speed gradually. Making a big jump in how far you run or how fast you run can lead to soreness or injury.
• Wear good shoes. Make sure your shoes fit well and have plenty of support. Buy new shoes promptly when needed.
• Never skip your warm-up or cool-down. Not only will you feel less sore if you complete them, but you'll be less likely to get hurt.

Hope this resolution can probably make your 2020 much more joyful and healthier
