Gwen Sywicke is an ultra runner, Professor at LSU, and the author of the book "Ultrarunning Mysticism: Mind, Body, Spirit and the Sacredness of Overcoming Suffering". We talk about the science behind why we humans need to be outdoors. How our surroundings affect both our mood and our athletic abilities, and how to find that effortless state of flow.
