Ever pondered over the emotional ties we share with exercise and how it influences our commitment to fitness? Today's conversation with Katie Kennedy, a PhD holder from the University of Surrey, promises to illuminate this intriguing subject. As we delve into Katy's research journey, we unravel the dynamics of beginner running programs and the substantial effect of teamwork on sports performance. Her personal experiences and in-depth research offer a fresh perspective on our complex relationship with exercise.

Taking a deep-dive into Katys study on the emotional bond shared by individuals with exercise, particularly among beginner running groups, we unearth the secrets that keep them engaged with the sport over prolonged periods. We discuss the intriguing correlation between exercise and gender, and why these groups often witness a higher participation of women. As we wander through the labyrinth of her research findings, we also touch upon the importance of incorporating exercise into our daily routines. We reflect upon the rise in popularity of running during the COVID-19 lockdown and question the continuity of this trend post-lockdown. Lend an ear to this riveting conversation and gain distinctive insights from the depths of Katie's research.
