Running, sure—but there are plenty of good reasons to give it a try

Yet another article listing the benefits of running? Does it inspire you to lace up your sneakers as the school year begins? Maybe. But what if, on top of that, you could save money by running…

Running Heroes: Our partner for turning your kilometers into discounts

For many years, Cébé has been a partner of Running Heroes, a platform that rewards runners for their efforts. The concept is simple:

Step 1

Create a free account on Running Heroes.

Step 2

Connect your usual tracking app: Strava, Nike Run Club, Runkeeper, adidas Running, Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Decathlon Coach… the platform is compatible with virtually all the tools already used by runners.

Step 3

Each ride is automatically synced and converted into effort points.

Step 4

You can redeem your points for rewards offered by the program's partner brands.

You don't have to run a marathon to enjoy the benefits: your points start adding up from your very first outings. And among the available rewards, Cébé offers 20% off at cebe.com, redeemable on our sports sunglasses, goggles, and ski helmets.

In other words, an activity you may already be doing—or are about to start this fall—can also earn you rewards. All you have to do is connect an app you’re probably already using.

And if you haven't started yet, here's a reminder of why running is simple and effective in so many ways.

No need for a gym, a membership, or complicated equipment. Running fits into any schedule: 20 minutes before work, a run on Sunday morning, a few kilometers on the way home from the office. You can do it alone or with others, in the city or out in nature, and progress at your own pace.

Its benefits are well established:

• A stronger heart: regular running improves cardiovascular endurance and helps regulate blood pressure.

• Better-quality sleep: physical activity helps you fall asleep faster and enjoy more restful sleep.

• A real stress-buster: running releases endorphins—hormones that provide a sense of well-being and help relieve tension built up throughout the day.

• Improved mood: numerous studies link regular running to a reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression.

One thing to keep in mind: protect your eyes

Between UV rays, wind, dust, and splashes, your eyes are put under a lot of strain during exercise—especially during morning or late-afternoon runs, when the low-angle sunlight causes glare. A good pair of sports sunglasses reduces eye strain, improves visual comfort (and thus your ability to read the terrain—a real plus on trails or uneven roads), and provides long-lasting protection from UV rays, repeated exposure to which can eventually damage your eyes. It’s just as essential as sunscreen, but it’s often overlooked when you first start running!

In summary

Whether you already run regularly or are getting back into it for the start of the school year, connecting your tracking app to Running Heroes costs nothing and can pay off big—including your Cébé discount. Head over to runningheroes.com to create your account and turn your next runs into savings.
