Kadar si postavimo cilj, ki ima vonj po uspehu, je veliko večja verjetnost, da ga bomo dosegli, kot če si ga sploh ne zastavimo. Zreti v prihodnost je navdihujoče. Prihodnost nam omogoča, da v njej vidimo sebe nekoliko drugačne, kot smo danes. Bolj vzdržljive, močnejše, pogumnejše. Morda celo takšne, kakršni si danes še ne upamo verjeti, da lahko postanemo. Toda želena prihodnost sama od sebe ne pride naproti. Pot do nje je tlakovana z redno vadbo. Tudi raziskave kažejo, da n

Če želite preživeti in bolje živeti še naslednjih dvajset let, pa storite prav to. Urban Praprotnik Na prvi pogled se zdi, da si prvi in drugi stavek nasprotujeta. V resnici sta oba pravilna. Med tekom je tveganje za srčni zaplet res nekoliko večje kot med sedenjem na kavču. In vendar ljudje, ki redno tečejo, v povprečju živijo dlje. Ta paradoks je pred nekaj dnevi dobil zelo konkreten obraz. Srečal sem športnega prijatelja. Oba sva že presegla petdeseto leto, oba sva športni

Vročina upočasni korak, a lahko pospeši napredek. Poleti se marsikateri tekač znajde v nenavadnem paradoksu: trud je večji, tempo nižji, srčni utrip višji. Občutek je, kot da nazadujemo. Pa je res tako? Ko tečemo v vročini, telo ne skrbi le za gibanje, ampak tudi za vzdrževanje primerne telesne temperature. Del krvi mora oskrbeti mišice, del pa se preusmeri proti koži, kjer oddajamo toploto. Srce zato dela več, napor občutimo močneje, koraki pa postanejo težji. Toda prav ta d

Obema je podpora zelo pomembna. Tako v medsebojnem odnosu kot tudi pri tekaških copatih. Zanimivo, obema se pri teku stopalo nekoliko izraziteje nagiba navznoter. Zato nama stabilnejši modeli, kot je ASICS Gel-Kayano 33, še posebej ustrezajo. Podpora na vsakem koraku. Med tekom in v življenju – s pravim sočlovekom in pravim tekaškim copatom. Kayano ima za sabo že dolgo zgodbo – že 33 let razvoja in iskanja rešitev za tekače, ki jim nekoliko več opore pomaga do bolj sproščeneg

And how to restore a positive experience of movement for our children—and ourselves. Urban Praprotnik After classes ended, we would gather in the school locker room, change into our running gear, and head out from Prebold toward Šmiglova Zidanica, regardless of whether it was snowing, raining, or occasionally, sunny. I belonged to a small group of upper-grade students brought together by our teacher to do extra runs a few times a week. From the fourth grade onward, I attended

What Sports Medicine Says — and What My Own Experience Tells Me A few days ago, I received a message from a journalist from Slovenske novice, asking whether I could give a professional opinion on children running longer distances. The question arose after the organizers of the Three Hearts Marathon in Radenci prevented an 11-year-old boy from participating in the half marathon. The boy had been preparing for the race with great dedication and would undoubtedly have been capab

How Running Events and a Group Can Help Beginners Run More Regularly “I’m not a sheep to follow running events.” That was the opinion of a friend of mine when I invited her to finally take this step toward a life with more movement and more regular running. In my experience, participating in running events can be extremely beneficial — in many different ways. Why We Persevere More Easily When We Have a Goal Research shows that people who sign up for running events usually tra

Weak points of our body are the ones that need the right kind of load to become stronger. If we avoid them, they only become weaker.

Watch a short clip of how it went here:https://youtube.com/shorts/xTm6rt_nsYM?si=klprEY48iyyVfmY5 The Saltworks Run from Piran to Lucija and back was almost 10 km long. Jasmina
