Train the Mind and the Body will Follow

Here’s an often overlooked aspect of running, it develops our minds.

1. Self-awareness: we run to connect with being in the present & gain that heightened understanding of mood, emotion and drive.

2. Self-regulation: we run to redirect disruptive impulses and moods allowing further thought before taking action.

3. Motivation: we run to pursue goals with energy and persistence, for reasons that go beyond money.

4. Empathy: we run to release emotions and endorphins and our empathetic with others who have not discovered the emotional outlet of running.

5. Social skill: we run with others to build relationship and find common ground with our running community.
