Running was one of the daily activities of our ancestors, we know. Perhaps that’s why we barely learned to walk, we have already gone out to run as if we had seen the Umage thing.
Which means, forgiveness by the planet, that we know how to run more proficiently, I imagine, than hunting or collecting fruits, anthony activities unfortunately today not so affordable.
But the universe that has structured itself around race and physical activity, with its experts, its evangelists and the now “professional amateurs”, leads to that these practices are somewhat complicated, to demand bulls and tutorials.
They are not. It is not necessary to have efficiency in everything and the risks of an eventual injury are no greater than those of physical inactivity.
(Similarly, you don’t need a yoga teacher to practice it. We find another alibi.)
With all this, try telling a coach if you find any in a park that you always run at the same pace and don’t exceed a certain kilometers.
He may say that what you do is not exactly running, but “running”, and that to “evolve” in the activity you will need to leave the comfort zone (in jargon: break the homeostasis) and face at least once a week a week interval training – in short distances (shots) “leaving everything”, with great cardiac effort and with rest intervals between these shots.
The coaches are not alone. Emil Zatopek was already training interval in the late 1940s.
But it turns out that there are people who can’t stand even the mere idea of giving “shots”. Running, for some, I don’t know how many, means performing a physical activity close to relaxation, something that a heart working at 95% is anathema.
For I say: There is no problem always running and always facing the race as a form of relaxation. And it’s okay to run for running, without even knowing “Pace” itself, the usual pace, the pace with which the person feels comfortable, as once I found it necessary.
PACE is the average race pace, and it therefore varies according to the effort detached at every moment of the activity. But when we say that such a person runs to a certain Pace-Let’s say, which means one kilometer every six minutes-this is generally his more usual, daily life, and overcoming it becomes something that demands some effort .
But finally, why overcome it?
In the first scene of his seminal – what would be a critic of the old “Bizz” magazine without this adjective?
I already wrote this here, in the early days of this column. It is an allegorical scene. Visited by the author himself, Don Juan invites him to sleep in the threshold of his door.
Castañeda replicates, she doesn’t know how she’ll do it to sleep lying on the hard floor.
Don Juan tells him, “Discover your point.”
In the case that interests us here, point is Pace.
A final pitaco: The last thing you need to meet you, Point or Pace, is a clock.
