I want to add a new branch to my sports life. I frequently see and admire how &lt;strong&gt;those who run also cycle, and those who cycle also run&lt;\/strong&gt;. For this reason, I have decided to start running bit by bit&#8230;! However, the story behind this begins at a completely different point. Let&#8217;s take a look at that starting point.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n<p>&lt;h2&gt;Hello from my childhood!&lt;\/h2&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;p&gt;I remember those sweet days when I wanted to be a runner in the neighborhood; I even made little attempts on my own but could never keep them up. It was, of course, my fault that I couldn&#8217;t continue, but I never knew how I should have been guided. I even participated in an inter-school running race. And the result? Utter disappointment, of course&#8230; I ended my non-existent running career right there. It was a sport I always postponed, saying &#8220;maybe later,&#8221; which is why I believe it&#8217;s time to start somewhere.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n<p>&lt;blockquote&gt;To a man who will run on his own, what are your recommendations? If you are reading this and seeing this part&#8230; Please help me based on your experiences. I need your advice.&lt;\/blockquote&gt;<\/p>\n<p>&lt;h2&gt;What do I need to run?&lt;\/h2&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;ol&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;li&gt;Shoes&lt;\/li&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;li&gt;Shorts&lt;\/li&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;li&gt;T-shirt&lt;\/li&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;li&gt;Water bottle&lt;\/li&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;li&gt;Supplements&lt;\/li&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;li&gt;Nutrition, etc&#8230;&lt;\/li&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;\/ol&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;p&gt;When I think about it, I could go on and extend this list&#8230; A man like me can never start something, or doesn&#8217;t feel like he can, without being fully equipped&#8230; However, when I think about it, I came across a conversation on social media the other day where this question was asked:&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n<p>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you need to run?&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/blockquote&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;p&gt;The list above is actually just a list of excuses&#8230; I realized that from the answer given to that question. What do you think the answer was? &lt;strong&gt;The answer: &lt;em&gt;&#8221;I need two legs!&#8221;&lt;\/em&gt;&lt;\/strong&gt; The universe is showing me exactly what I need. You know the &#8220;red car effect,&#8221; right? Whatever you focus on, that is what you encounter&#8230; Yes, during those wonderful days when I was focusing on running, right at the time when my list of excuses was active, it brought me a wonderful question and a magnificent answer&#8230;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n<p>&lt;h3&gt;The excuses are over&#8230; Let the movement begin&#8230;&lt;\/h3&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;p&gt;Now, a new one has been added to our blog topics&#8230; If it continues\u2014and I believe it will\u2014I will try to share information about running, alongside cycling, and my progress in my blog and YouTube videos.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n<p>&lt;p&gt;Yes, my friends&#8230;<br \/>\nI am putting the list of excuses on the shelf and taking action&#8230;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n<p>&lt;p&gt;I wish everyone happy and enjoyable sports.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;h1&gt;Why Did I Decide to Start Running?&lt;\/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Hello fellow cyclists&#8230; We have been sharing so much throughout our cycling journey for a long time, haven&#8217;t we?
