happy or sad just run
Why I fell in love with Nike+ run club
Run 5k ever day…
Previous week I turned 20. Yeah, I know what you are thinking. Aging frightens me the same as those in the early ’20s. After my birthday eve, I started panicking about getting old and I got my nerves. Somehow I managed to sleep that night. The next morning when I rose from the bed, I heard those fearing sound from my knee joints. This further frightens me. So I started watching videos on longevity and also read Ikigai(the Japanese secret to a long and happy life). Running is the only tip common in all the videos. Then I surfed google and got to know about NRC(Nike+ run club).
Do shoes have mileage?
After adding my running shoes in NRC, it shows how many miles to go with these pairs. Only after NRC I got to know that shoes have mileage(LOL) and they expire.
Recent studies on a handful of running research finds suggests that people who run, even just once a week or month, have 27 percent lower risk of premature death.
Every day, NRC wakes me up by tintinnabulation. NRC never tolerates if I skip my daily streaks. So I get ready and, my shoes on sharp at 6 AM. Also, it catches me if I tries to cheat.
In front of others
I know NRC never let me down in front of my friends. It always tries to keep me in shape even though I ignore its notification. Even after uninstallation, it mails me. Seems NRC also loves me(LOL). Those girls who ignored me previously now started texting back, credits to NRC. Whenever I post my daily streaks on Instagram, people would ask, how am I doing this? this appreciation makes me feel energetic and my brain secretes more dopamine that helps me run further.
Connects me with other runners
NRC helped me in building a running tribe that inspires me to stay motivated. Nike taught me that running truly is about the journey, not the destination. Having a team that travels the same journey as you is a great way to keep yourself accountable on the “ less exciting “ running days. NRC creates inspiration. As I used to see challenge boards that motivates me to stay on top, But Nike never leaves it there. It mocks you wherever you don’t run.
I have never thought that this running tribe would turn into a family but Nike+ Run Club made it possible. After running, we used to visit a coffee corner and have a fabulous time there.
if it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you
Small gifts!
I run daily because of those small achievement sticker that Nike gives me. I love that. As babies expects toffees whenever their mother returns home after work, like the same I would also expects those stickers from NRC.
I wanted to confess which I may not verbally say but, I can at least express it through my words. I love you NIKE+ RUN CLUB. You have changed my life completely and gave a new meaning to my life. I can’t imagine a day without you NRC. I love you so much!
the end
