Running has become a popular trend in Korea recently. Letโs compare what running looks like in the U.S. and Korea.

First of all, running in the U.S. has a long history. One of the most famous races, the Boston Marathon, first started in 1897. However, like the current trend in Korea, running became a popular hobby for everyday people during the 1970s in the U.S.

In the U.S., many people run for exercise or to relieve stress. It is often done alone or with one or two friends. Running is sometimes seen as a meditative activity, and many runners talk about โthe runnerโs high.โ This is a feeling of happiness that comes after running for a long time. While running clubs exist, they are usually less social than those in Korea.

On the other hand, running in Korea is more social. Many people join running crews and run together through the city. It is seen as a way to make friends while exercising. While many Koreans enjoy running along riverside paths, Americans often prefer jogging on hiking trails. Runners in both countries like to run in parks, though.

Marathons are popular in both countries. They give people a chance to challenge themselves and feel proud of their achievements. Programs like โCouch to 5Kโ also help beginners start running. Overall, even though the styles are different, running is a healthy and positive trend in both countries.
