3 popular running events that runners shouldn't miss

Today, REV is taking care of all runners, whether you've hit the track before or are looking for your next race, we have handpicked 3 running events that runners shouldn't miss.

Whether you treat running as a serious sport or a hobby depends on your personal preference. No matter if you run slow, fast, trail, long-distance, or short-distance, what you end up with is happiness and good health after a workout. Another joy for all runners is the happiness of shopping for new running gear and running shoes. Some people even collect rare or unique models of running shoes.

Nowadays, there are countless marathon events in our country, with dozens to choose from each month, both in Bangkok and in other provinces. This reflects that Thai people have become much more interested in running compared to several years ago. Today, Rev Edition has selected popular running events that both new and experienced runners should not miss in this article. But before we look at the events, Rev would like to give some good reasons why you should get out and run.

Good reasons to get out and run

The goals of each run can be different. Some people run to exercise and meet friends, while others collect major races to complete them all. But no matter the goal, at least we are out there running.

• Running makes us happy. People with depression know well that exercise helps reduce depressive symptoms. Just 30 minutes of running can make us happier because, as mentioned earlier, endorphins are released, making us feel happy.

• Running makes us active. If anyone wants to burn fat and calories, running is quite an attractive option. Did you know that the body burns fat and calories while we run, and even after we stop, the body continues to burn them for a period, known as "After Burn"? It’s like hitting two birds with one stone—burning calories twice over.

• Running helps build muscle. When running, the body must use various organs and systems to control movement and carry weight, especially the knees. The pressure from running helps increase joint fluid circulation and builds strong leg muscles. These muscles act as support for the joints and knees, reducing impact. Additionally, good running gear, such as standard running shoes, will help further reduce the impact on our knees.

• Running helps us look young and radiant. Running not only improves our health, but it also makes our body systems function more efficiently, including the circulatory system. It also increases oxygen to the body, making cheeks look rosy because the capillaries on the face expand and increase in number. Skin will be glowing, and since running burns calories effectively, it keeps our bodies toned and firm.

• Running helps improve heart function. Just jogging for 30 minutes a day will improve heart function. In patients with mild heart valve issues who do not require surgery or medication, doctors recommend exercise such as cardio, aerobics, walking, or jogging to strengthen heart muscles. Are these reasons enough to convince you, dear readers, to get out and run? If not, let's continue.

For runners and those just entering the world of running, running gear is important, especially running shoes. It is essential to choose shoes that fit the type of running. Good running shoes will support the knees, ankles, and absorb various impacts. For those who like trail running, choosing normal running shoes for the trails might not be a great idea, because along the way there are obstacles like rocks, branches, and small streams. Therefore, choosing specific trail running shoes is better and safer.

Beyond running, we might need to improve our running efficiency by doing other types of exercise, paired with eating a high-protein diet to repair the muscles we've used. Are you ready to grab your shoes, change your outfit, and head out to run? If you're ready, let's go!
