How to go from couch potato to motivated runner
Set goals.
After the initial “starting out” period, set realistic goals for yourself. Goal setting involves making a personal investment, and when achieved can greatly enhance motivation. However, you want to be careful not to move too fast. Be patient with your mind and body!
Chart your progress.
Sometimes it helps to have a visual aid. Cut out a picture of your “ideal runner” and tape it to your cupboard or refrigerator, with a chart for your distance and times. Actually “seeing” progress is a great way to maintain motivation!
Tune in to your body.
Experiment with different times of the day, if possible, to find the time when your body performs most efficiently. This can be very different for some people, and is one reason that many are not successful. If you are trying to run in the wee hours of the morning, and your peak performance time is late afternoon, then you will feel tired, sluggish and far less motivated.
Equip yourself with the right tools.
Comfort is the key above all else when you are just starting out! Visit your local running store for advice on the proper gear (shoes, socks and other clothing) for your running level. Make sure that your shoes and socks fit properly, feel great and that all of your clothing is weather appropriate. Add a pedometer, a water bottle belt, or an IPod into the mix if it makes your run more enjoyable.
When you hit a rut, shake things up!
Sometimes it just takes a tiny change to recharge our motivation levels. Chart a new route or switch to a treadmill for a change of pace. Try running with a partner or alone, depending on your current circumstance. Load some energetic new tunes onto your iPod or check out a new pair of running shoes.
Exercise your body, relax your mind.
Try interrupting your running week with a day for yoga, tai chi or meditation. Not only will this help to break up the monotony and improve your focus, but a little less stress never hurt anyone!
Staying motivated to run is a long-term process, but just starting is the hardest part. Everyone has their own unique formula to stay motivated, but with consistency and attention to the ideas above, the experience will be much more enjoyable.

Asian Debate: Which Of Asia's 2018/2022 World Cup Contenders Is The Best Bet? - Goal.com
Indonesia (2022 only)
Star Power – As yet nothing. FA chief Nurdin Halin was busy in Jakarta, in the words of the bid team, helping the government with its plan to increase exports.Video – Good and focused on Indonesia’s strengths such as the beauty of the country, the location within South-East Asia, the hospitality of the people and the passion for the beautiful game.
The Indonesians Love Their Football
Pros – The friendliest bid. Also, taking the biggest sporting event in the world to the biggest Muslim nation has its appeal and does the fact that south-east Asia as a whole is crazy about football. It would also do wonders for the country’s standing.Cons – Infrastructure, football and otherwise, would need serious investment and it is hard to see a mention of Indonesia and 2022 without the word terrorism – the smoke from the July bombings will take time to fade.

"Sampai kapan gw berlatih parkour?". Sebuah catatan singkat dari Hendry Hilmawan (@axl_extreme)
Di note ini gw hanya sekedar sharing tentang pengalaman pribadi gw dan terinspirasi oleh banyak orang yang bertanya ke gw: "sampai kapan loe berlatih parkour?". Pertanyaan yang bagus menurut gw. Semua diantara kita pasti mempunyai motivasi berbeda untuk berlatih parkour. Ada yang biar keren, biar bisa lompat dari lantai dua, biar fisiknya kuat, biar kurus/gemuk atau lebih berotot, dan lain-lain.
Itu hanya sedikit contoh dari sebagian motivasi para teman-teman kita. Nah, pertanyaannya: "sampai kapan loe berlatih parkour?"
Sampai bisa terkenal? (mungkin ada orang yang seperti ini)
Sampai bisa flip? (kan keren tuh katanya kalau sudah bisa flip-flip, setelah itu jadi stunt man)
Sampai bisa jago? (ada juga loh orang seperti ini)
Mungkin itu juga hanya sebagian contoh kecil saja dan mungkin bisa jadi Anda orang yang seperti di atas?
Ok, kita tinggalkan semua hal yang tidak penting, saatnya mengoreksi diri masing-masing untuk menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik. Setelah gw banyak mendapatkan pertanyaan dari orang-orang, baik dari teman-teman parkour, ataupun orang lain, bahkan dari orang yang paling dekat dengan gw pun pernah bertanya ke gw, pada saat mereka bertanya: “sampai kapan loe berlatih parkour?”, pada saat itu juga gw hanya bisa menjawab dengan jawaban simple: “sampai gw tua dan tidak sanggup berdiri lagi”.
Setelah gw menyadari dan gw bertanya kepada diri gw sendiri: “sampai kapan gw berlatih parkour?”, setelah pulang latihan gw membuka dan banyak mempelajari lagi artikel yang telah gw download, tidak sampai di situ saja, gw teruskan dengan browsing untuk mencari artikel tentang parkour yang belum gw dapat, karena bagi gw membaca dan mempelajari semua artikel yang gw dapat makin memperluas pengetahuan gw tentang parkour. Gw baca artikel tentang kehidupan dan metode latihan George Hebert, gw melihat banyak video tentang interview David Belle, dll.
Setelah semua artikel tersebut tersaring dan masuk ke dalam otak, gw akhirnya dapat jawaban sesungguhnya dari diri gw sendiri tentang "apa itu parkour?" dan "sampai kapan gw berlatih parkour?". Jawaban gw adalah “sampai semua terbiasa”. Terbiasa di segala aspek kehidupan (segala kondisi cuaca, lingkungan, dll). Gw akan melakukan semuanya sampai gw terbiasa dan tidak merasa lelah lagi.
Sampai kapan gw melakukan lari sprint? Sampai gw merasakan seperti jalan biasa.
Sampai kapan gw berlatih memanjat? Sampai gw seperti menaiki tangga biasa.
Sampai kapan gw melakukan push up? Sampai terasa ringan/seperti bangun dari tidur.
Sampai kapan gw berlatih pistol squad? Sampai gw seperti merasa baru bangun dari tempat duduk.
Sampai kapan gw melakukan muscle up? Sampai gw seperti mengangkat jemuran.
Sampai kapan gw melakukan pull up? Sampai gw seperti memakai baju.
Sampai kapan gw berlatih precision? Sampai gw merasakan seperti melangkah biasa.
Sampai kapan gw berlatih dips? Sampai gw seperti memakai celana.
Sampai kapan gw berlatih parkour? Sampai semuanya menjadi terbiasa seperti gw bernafas.
Sampai kapan gw berlatih fisik? Sampai semuanya tidak terasa lelah lagi yang berarti sampai gw tidak bernafas lagi.
Mohon maaf sebelumnya jika ada kata-kata yang salah dan tidak berkenan di hati teman-teman. Dari note pendek ini semoga bisa diambil hikmahnya untuk teman-teman semua baik dari PKID maupun orang lain. Respect!
Inspired by : The people, Friends, George Hebert, David Belle, My 2nd family (PKID), My 1st family (My wife, Karla and Axl), Almarhum Bokap dan kakek gw yang telah memberi ilmu dan motivasi.

To Run Better, Start by Ditching Your Nikes | Wired Science | Wired.com
How to Run Barefoot
If you’re interested in trying out barefoot (or nearly barefoot) running, keep in mind that it will take your body some time to get used to it. Here are some tips from the experts to get you started.
- Start slow, with quarter-mile runs at most, and build up very gradually.
- Listen to your feet. Don’t try to run with the same gait you use in shoes — shorten your steps and land on the forward part of your foot.
- Keep your head up and your body vertical. Your feet should be hitting the ground almost directly underneath you, not in front of you.
- Ankle and calf strength is key to avoiding injury, so consider Ferber’s four-week barefoot strengthening program before you start (.doc).
- Keep barefoot running to no more than 10 percent of your weekly regimen, especially at first.
- If you’re running completely barefoot, run on a mix of soft and hard surfaces to give your feet time to toughen up.
Finally, don’t try this if you suffer from diabetes or another condition that would affect your ability to feel and respond to sensations from your feet.
“Like any part of your body, you have to build up very, very slowly,” says Lieberman. “If you really pay attention to your body and build up slowly, you’ll be fine.”
For more advice and information, check out Barefoot Ken Bob and Barefoot Ted’s websites, as well as the barefoot running forum on the Runner’s World community site.
