'Why do we run?'
Today, in the first episode of 2022, Caden Shields (Kiwi Physio and 2:15 marathoner) and I jump back on the show and chat about ‘why we run’
This is such an important question to ask yourself as a runner. The importance of running and the meaning you get from it changes over the years.
We recommend everyone else to do the same, get honest and reflect on ‘why you run?’
Is it the friendships formed? A sense of belonging? The mental and/or physical health benefits? Improved self esteem and confidence in ones self? Is it the chase to better oneself? To get fitter? To run faster? The toil of chasing a goal? The life lessons learned? Does it make you a better person?
Knowing your ‘running why’ will mean you are more likely to make decisions about your running that are more aligned to your values.
