60. Mental Health and Running with Sasha Wolff of "Still I Run"


Listen Later

In this episode we talk about the topic of mental health. We speak about the stigma, the reason for the stigma, and some studies that show the science behind mental health so we can better understand why it is that we feel better when we run. We also talk to our special guest, Sasha Wolff, the founder of the non-profit organization Still I Run. Still I Run is a 501(c)3 organization and running community that promotes the benefits of running for mental health. Sasha shares how she became a runner, and what caused her to start her foundation Still I Run. Sasha also shares her own mental health with us, she talks about how she discovered the benefits of exercise, how running changed her life, and how she is now trying to change the lives of others through her foundation. The “Still I Run starting line scholarship” for example, helps individuals and family start running. Sasha shares some of her favorite stories on the impact that their foundation has made on people. Last but not least Sasha shares some tips for people that have mental illnesses, including where they can go for help and what they can do to live their best lives possible.
