We all know walking is good for us—but just how good is it, exactly? Today we go deep on running's more leisurely and oftentimes less celebrated (dare we say underrated?) cousin. What are the aerobic benefits of walking? If you're a regular runner, is there a case for why you should mix in more walking? Why is everyone so obsessed with 10,000 daily steps as a metric, and should you be? What is the connection between walking and creativity? What does the latest research say about why so many people report solving problems or getting unstuck when they go on walks? So, put on your headphones, go for a walk, and give it a listen.
