My wife always asked why I run. This article found me yesterday and I now know why I run. Running, and lots of it, relieves stress. I have with drawls if I do not run. I make it real easy. I run in increments of hours. A short run will be one hour on Tuesday. A training run is 2 - 3 hrs.- this I do no Thursdays. Max endurance run 4 hrs and working to move up to 5 hrs - do this on the weekend. I just pick one and go. I pick minimal hills of MAX hills. Please, if you suffer from stress, anxiety or even deeper depression - start walking, try jogging and you might even try long distance running. It is free and you body will thank you for it.
