Running can change your life. This piece from Jeff Galloway's website really drives this home for me.
"Running changes us. Studies and personality profiles show that as beginners continue to run regularly without time goals, they become more positive. As I work with runners, over months and years, they tend to become more “self-starting,” think and talk more honestly, and move on to other positive changes in their lives. Running triggers a series of circuits inside to gear up, improve capacity, become more efficient, expand awareness, focus, while instilling a sense that stress can be erased or managed, and problems solved. " - Jeff Galloway
In episode 22 of the podcast, I had the honour of talking to Jeff.
Jeff has inspired millions with his "Run, Walk, Run" method and ability to resonate with beginner and experienced runners alike. If you are not familiar with Jeff Galloway, here is a bit more about him:
