I've been running about 3-4 km every day for approx. the last month and i do have a few thoughts:
- the first 2 or 3 times when i started out were the hardest, especially because everything hurt afterwards
- i haven't started liking it and probably won't in the near future, however it has gotten more and more tolerable as time has passed
- keeping track of myself with something like a smart armband and Mi Fit app with GPS has been useful, as far as discipline is concerned (with obvious privacy pitfalls)
- progress in regards to increasing the distance of my runs without feeling worn out has been very gradual, yet still there
- it feels like pace matters a bit more than distance when it comes to how exhausting it is
- i probably really should get better running shoes, though running on a gravel road and in private has made it more tolerable
- the health benefits are probably worth it in the long run, which is also why i walk at least 8000 steps every day in total (including the running, which makes up close to half of that)
