Finding New Places to Run

Exploring familiar neighborhoods to keep running fresh

June 28, 2025

It can be difficult to keep your running fresh as you run in the familiar areas. How can you find new places to run when you have learned the places you run usually? The answer is to try something new. It can be as simple as change of direction or taking a turn on the intersection you usually skip. You will likely need to run in places that are not so great before you find your next favorite destination. It’s best to run slowly in new places. That is why I usually do this when my legs are tired from the long run on the previous day. It is possible that you will not find any better place to run but you would have expanded the knowledge of the place where you live. And sometimes you would discover a park or an empty road that would delight you on many occasions.
