3 Races that Will Help You Get in Shape and Increase Your Endurance
The secret behind races
Most people dread the idea of running either a 5K or a 10K. However, running is one of the best ways to get in shape fast and easy. Instead of rushing to a gym on the weekends, try participating in a race. When competing in a race, you will be more focused on finishing and not realizing you’re completing a workout for the day. So, would you rather go to the gym or participate in a fun workout activity? I don’t know about you, but I rather run a race any day over going to the gym.
Here are 3 races that will help you get in shape and increase your endurance
- 5K – this race consists of a three-mile run. The majority of people finish running/walking three miles in under an hour. It’s a quick way to get a workout in and you can go at your own pace.
- 10K – this race consists of a six-mile run. The majority of people finish this race in 2 hours or less. Whether you choose to run or walk, this is another easy way to get your steps in for the day.
- Spartan Race – Spartan races occur several times a year around the world, so you can easily look for one near you. This race consists of numerous obstacle courses and in between each course, you’re running to the next one. It pushes you to never give up and you will be determined to finish. Aside from this being a cardio workout, it’s a great strength training workout because of having to complete each course.
Key Takeaway
Get up and get moving! You have to compete to win, so stop dreading the long gym workouts and get out there and run, walk and interact with more people like you. Your body will thank you!
