8種方法讓你重新愛上跑步

Like all relationships, a love affair with running has its ups and down. One day you can’t imagine your life without running, and the next you may be cursing at yourself (while running, of course) for getting started with this crazy sport.

每一段感情都會(huì)有起起落落，同樣你對(duì)跑步的愛也不例外。今天你還覺得你的生活不能沒有跑步，明天可能又會(huì)罵自己(當(dāng)然邊跑邊罵)當(dāng)初怎么會(huì)開始這么瘋狂的運(yùn)動(dòng)。

If you have moments when your love for running is fading (and who doesn’t?), here are some ways to re-ignite the spark:

假如你覺得你對(duì)跑步的熱愛逐漸冷卻(誰不會(huì)這樣呢?)，以下幾個(gè)方法能讓你對(duì)跑步愛火重燃：

1. Talk to other runners.

和志同道合的跑步愛好者交流

Whether you're discussing your past glory days or future running goals, talking about running with other runners can help remind you of why you feel in love with it in the first place.

無論是談?wù)撛?jīng)的輝煌還是暢想未來的目標(biāo)，和志同道合的跑步愛好者交流心得，這可以提醒你當(dāng)初為什么會(huì)愛上跑步。

2. Buy yourself some new running gear.

為自己添置跑步新裝備

Treat yourself to some new running gear, such as a new shirt or running socks, as a reward for your hard work. The treat will make you feel energized, and reinforce your commitment to your training. After all, who doesn’t look forward to wearing that new, cool-looking running gear on a long run? If you don’t need any new gear, a massage or pedicure is always a nice reward.

買點(diǎn)新的跑步“神器”犒勞一下自己——一件新運(yùn)動(dòng)衫或一雙運(yùn)動(dòng)襪——作為你努力的獎(jiǎng)賞。獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)能讓你活力滿格，精神振奮，堅(jiān)定你繼續(xù)鍛煉的決心。畢竟人靠衣裝嘛!誰不想身著拉風(fēng)的新裝備長(zhǎng)跑呢!如果不需要添置新裝備，那么按摩或足療永遠(yuǎn)是不錯(cuò)的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)哦。

3. Display your bling.

展示你的戰(zhàn)績(jī)

Having visual reminders of your running accomplishments can help keep you motivated to get out there again (and collect more bling). Get one of those cool medal hanging racks to keep your race medals organized and add some visual interest to one of your walls.

用看得見的方式證明你跑步的成就，這可以持續(xù)激發(fā)你對(duì)跑步(并獲得更多戰(zhàn)績(jī))的熱情。買一臺(tái)酷炫的獎(jiǎng)牌掛架，將你的獎(jiǎng)牌整齊有序地掛好，為你的墻壁增添一些視覺亮點(diǎn)吧!

4. Mentor a new runner.

發(fā)展新的跑步愛好者

One way to show yourself how far you’ve come is to share your running knowledge and experience with others. If you have a family member or friend who's expressed an interest in running, ask her if she'd like to join you for a run (at her pace), needs help shopping for running shoes and gear, or maybe even wants to train for a race together. Not only will helping a new runner allow you to see and celebrate your progress, but you’ll also get a motivation boost.

與他人分享你的運(yùn)動(dòng)知識(shí)與經(jīng)歷，這也是一種展示跑步成果的方法。如果有家人或朋友同你表示跑步的興趣，不妨問問她是否愿意以她習(xí)慣的速度和你一起跑步，是否需要你幫她選購跑鞋和其他裝備，以及是否想和你一起為參賽集訓(xùn)。幫助一個(gè)跑步新手不僅能讓你們共同見證和慶祝你的進(jìn)步，更能讓你動(dòng)力大爆發(fā)。

5. Volunteer at a race.

做賽場(chǎng)志愿者

Seeing a race through the eyes of a volunteer can change your perspective about racing and get you motivated. Watching runners cry or hug their friends and family members after they finish a race can do wonders for your motivation. To volunteer at a race, look for the volunteer opportunities section on the website or contact the race director through the race website.

作為志愿者親臨現(xiàn)場(chǎng)觀看比賽會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)變你對(duì)競(jìng)技的看法，并能點(diǎn)燃你的熱情。運(yùn)動(dòng)員比賽后與家人朋友緊緊擁抱、熱淚盈眶的場(chǎng)面對(duì)增強(qiáng)跑步動(dòng)力具有神奇的作用。想做賽場(chǎng)志愿者的話，可以上網(wǎng)搜索志愿者招聘板塊或者在競(jìng)賽網(wǎng)站上聯(lián)系相應(yīng)的賽事總監(jiān)進(jìn)行商洽。

6. Get inspired with quotes about running.

從有關(guān)跑步的文字中得到啟發(fā)

Reading other people’s words about running can get you motivated to get back out there, or take on a new running challenge.

閱讀他人有關(guān)跑步的激揚(yáng)文字能鼓舞你重新踏上跑步的征程，或者接受新的挑戰(zhàn)。

7. Do a destination race.

來一場(chǎng)有“目的地”的競(jìng)賽

If you typically run races in your local area, try branching out and traveling to a destination race. Pick a location that you've been wanting to visit and search on web sites like Active.com or MarathonGuide.com to look for races. If you can convince some friends or family members to join you, you can turn it into a mini-vacation getaway.

如果你經(jīng)常在你所在地區(qū)參加競(jìng)賽，試著拓寬一下范圍，借由比賽的契機(jī)順便去旅行吧!選一個(gè)你一直想去的地方，在Active.com 或者M(jìn)arathonGuide.com網(wǎng)站上查查那里什么時(shí)候舉辦比賽。如果能說動(dòng)親朋好友一起去的話，還可以把它變成一次小型外出度假呢!

8. Spectate at a race.

觀看比賽

Whenever I’m spectating at a race, I inevitably get a little jealous of the runners who are out there. I’ve talked to other runners who say the same thing. There’s something about cheering for the runners and remembering what it felt like to hear people supporting you that just makes you want to get out there again.

每當(dāng)觀看比賽時(shí)，我或多或少地會(huì)羨慕那些參賽者。我曾和有類似心境的跑步者談到過這一點(diǎn)。為運(yùn)動(dòng)員加油鼓勁，會(huì)讓你回憶起自己被鼓勵(lì)時(shí)激情澎湃的感覺，那就是讓你重新開始跑步的動(dòng)力源泉。
