I believe that running can help us connect to our ancestral roots and tap into our innate abilities as humans to run and move through the natural world.

Running can also help us connect to nature and the environment around us, which can be a spiritual experience.

Running can provide numerous benefits for the human body, both physically and mentally.

In this episode I’ll discuss 9 reasons why Running is good for us…

A 2018 survey conducted by Strava found that 7% of runners everyday.

Ron Hill is a British runner that set the world record for the longest running streak. He ran everyday from December 1964 to January 2017. The streak lasted just over 52 years!

In this episode I’m going to break it down and answer the question ‘Is it ok to go running everyday?’

You’re about to go out for a run, even though you aren’t feeling motivated to do so. You feel a bit flat or stressed. Almost like the run is something you need to tick off but you could actually do without doing it. It’s in your plan to do this run so you are forcing yourself to get out.

STOP! Before you do go out on the run with that mindset. Let’s clear some space. Imagine having a mental ‘colonic irrigation’ a total clear out! URGH (I know that may not leave the best mental image sorry!)

This Run Prep is going to help you clear some headspace and tune in to your body. See it as a mindfulness meditation for runners!

While setting goals and striving to improve is an important aspect of running. Becoming fixated on these outcomes can be detrimental to your health and performance.

Focusing on getting faster and achieving specific race goals can get you to where you want to be. But it can also lead to stress, anxiety, and burnout. This in turn can lead to physical injuries and mental fatigue.

In this episode I talk to Em Heald about the transitions we face in life and how we can navigate them with more fluidity and less resistance. 

The subject matter is Menopause but I feel theres lots to take away from this episode for men too, especially around learning to slow down and go with the flow of the fluctuations of life!

Running at a slow pace is an important part of any runners weekly schedule. Most runners skip aerobic base building. Then hit a plateau with their running as a result.

Aerobic base building allows for slow, steady progression over time. This goes against the fast-paced, access to instant progress modern day life has taught us.

Building an aerobic base helps develop the muscles and systems used in running. It helps to give runners the energy and endurance needed to perform at their peak.

The Runners high! That ‘feel good’ feeling after you've been for a run.

Some say its a myth, others rely on the runners high feeling to keep them coming back for more.

Most runners will agree that running helps boost their mental health. Running gives us mental space as much as physical space. That mental space from the busyness of our daily lives is essential for good health.

Too many people are too stressed in this modern world. Locked inside the restrictive patterns of their own mind. Running is a great remedy to modern living.

In this episode I'm going to explore the science behind running and what it does for our brains.

The evidence is strong! Running does wonders for our brain!

Let's have a look how and why...
