History of Global Running Day
To bring the people together who love Running, this Running Month was established and describes a particular gait of movement in general; both feet leave the ground at some point. Also Running always happens at the same speed, even in the same person. Jogging and Sprinting are considered forms of racing but distinctly differ from a run. Human beings cannot always run. Admittedly, it was a long time. When Australopithecus is Our first upright ancestor kept evolving, we gained the ability to have a long-striding run nearly 4.5 million years ago. It was vital to our existence as a species as we engaged in what is known as ‘persistence hunting,’ where catching the prey often involved a days-long hunt to track and wear the animal down until it could no longer flee, and collapsed from pure exhaustion.
