For the fear of robbers, there were no fundamental reasons. Anybody who deserves this title should be clear that whether a male or a female, she or he would not bring anything while running. Now that there were many filled wallets and jewelry person, so why you grab a water of victims. In addition, the robbers could find that there were so many people sitting on a chair or just strolling, why to pick up a floating target. And she even could run ahead of you. However, you’d better not run in a remote area after dark.
Even this one was not static. There was a woman once ran along the river park for a few years in New York and she was not troubled by anyone. Some people just like to do bad things. You don’t have to put them in teams, you just need to keep them far away from you. A lot of methods can keep them far away from you. Once I saw a woman in Central Park holding a four inches long needle, there was no cap on it. She was terrible, because she seemed to prick people at any time. The men who ran in the same track with her all kept far away. I knew I was the kind of person. Some women also carried a big stick in their hands when they went out to run. When some people planned to run, they would bring a beating dog or a whistle with them. Running with another person, whether a man or a woman, this would be an effective method of deterrence. Running with big dog also could play such a role.
In fear of the body damage, it was another worry in women’s heart. As what I have said in the third chapter. Not long ago, a doctor who wrote in the “Playboy” magazine that jogging was the most dangerous form of sport. He said that for women, it could make the uterus dislocate and the ligament of breast apart. This made he breast like the deflated gas balloon, which was hanged down. I have talked these dangers with many doctors; they all have expressed their bewilderment. It was impossible to find a justified basis on the medical literature. Instead, women said that their breasts became stronger after running. It was because that the movement of the two arms made the chest muscles stronger. I talked with many women, but nobody said that there was something wrong with their uteruses.
Many women feared that their muscles would become stiff, it seemed like a block of hard lump. The fact was that women runners and men runners were the same, their muscles would never become stiff. You can look at a woman’s legs carefully when you see a woman running on a road. You will see the soft and beautiful shape of long muscles, rather than uplift muscles. And, no matter how laborious her exercise program is, how long a time she takes and how fast her speed is, her leg muscles always keep it that way.
In order to improve the running result, some women even likes to try the weightlifting. However, Jack Weir Mo who worked in the National Athletic Health Institute pointed out that those strong muscles did not mean big chunks. He said:” with the illusion of the comic books, the bony child may be as strong as a villain who put sand on their faces, even stronger than a villain”. Weir Mo, who was famous for working for female runners said that some women increased more than forty-four percent of strength, but no muscles increased.
