Running sometimes feels like torture. Yes, for many of us, it conjures up pain, pure and simple. Maybe knee pain for some, plantar fasciitis for others; no matter where the pain shows up, for 70-80 percent of you, it does eventually show up. If it doesn't hurt now, odds are that at some point down the road it will.
So why even bother? What makes you even think about running?
Well, life is busy, and running is efficient. You can go out and just "git r done". It doesn't require fancy equipment, or a gym. And, let's face it, if you don't run the Bolder Boulder, what kind of Boulderite are you anyway? There's a big running scene in this activity-obsessed town.
Running has huge merit for your physiology too: you can increase your aerobic capacity so that almost any other activity is easy. AND, nothing helps build bone better than the jarring and abrupt stress of running. You need 4 G's of force to build bone, and anything short of running or jumping just won't cut it.
So if running sounds good for your busy schedule, for your wallet, and for your bones, you need a plan to ease into running in a way that makes you successful. And once you feel the success (with a bit of an endorphin rush) you might never look back.
We can't wait for you to try our revolutionary anti-gravity treadmill. We've only had it a month, and we've seen more tears of joy, as injured runners have felt sweet success on our machine. It's a gem! It gives you all the benefit and none of the pain. Everyone at the talk will receive a coupon for a FREE 10 minute trial on the Alter G. Bring your friends!
