Mental Benefits of Running

[@danielgiordani7625]

I used to suffer from severe depression and suicidal ideations. running literally saved my life

[@DanielPvb4]

This is spot on! Husband, father of 2, works from home. I run for the mental benefits!

It takes you to dark places, it's a really good fealing when you get through them 😊

[@CodyGoFar]

Mental component especially true with trail running. You have to be so locked in that it forces that meditative state

[@supaTronic]

Running inadvertently got me thru some tough times in my life without me realizing it until I reflected on it... I do it for both now especially at age 45 for preventative health reasons

[@scientistmilorad9735]

This is very relatable. My brother convinced me to go running with him yesterday and I ran like two miles and it realy put me in this meditative state where I was saying to myself "hold on, were almost there". I knew I could stop any moment I want but I didn't because I remembered David Gogginses one second rule. Next time I wont stop at five laps, im going full david gogins mode along with "they dont know me son"

I do run also for physical condition 😊

[@lakeshapitts6218]

I do it for both, not gonna lie😂

[@tyroneeasy9804]

running consistently keeps fat off in a way that weights can't even compete with.

[@BollywoodMediaOnline]

any tips on how much needed to start seeing that effect (how many miles per day or wk)?

[@tyroneeasy9804]

@@BollywoodMediaOnline just stay consistent. make your body adapt to running. when your body realizes you're going to move a lot everyday, it starts to shed the excess weight to make it easier for you to travel. try to work up to being able to run 5-6 days a week.

​@@tyroneeasy9804 Would you recommend running even if I want to gain weight? I'm also doing bodyweight+weight training, eating more and drinking much more water.

i might have to start with a brisk walk or a light jog before i run. i remember when running gave me cramps but i know i can break that barrier down if i at least try again.

[@Carlos-sy7ye]

Exactly!

[@luisnarvaez4427]

Yep 👍🏼

[@a_jt96]

[@rakiraki6250]
