Running slowly may seem easy, but it's actually quite challenging. TikTok user Kelsey explained in a running video, "I'm doing another four-mile run today. I'm putting so much effort into trying to run slow, but running slow is honestly hard." She adds, "Major lessons learned on this run: Two-and-a-half miles in, and I feel so good. When they say run slow, there's a reason for it.
Another runner on TikTok, Sydney, shared in a clip, "My goal is to finish the half marathon, not win it. Us slow pokes (whatever slow means to you!) are just as cool." She explained while getting her strides in, "The second I learned that 'going slow,' and being able to maintain what pace you're doing, is the second that you're actually able to run further, because I never thought I could run two miles, and it's because I was trying to keep up with these people."
