Run

[m_fayer]

Me too. Just don’t do what I did: up your speed and distance in response to the magnitude of your stress, as opposed to what your body’s ready for.

Then you can add “not running” and “healing an injury” to your list of stressors.

used to run more often — do you find it more useful to run with music or without when stressed?

[crimsontech]

Without for me. Music, audiobooks, podcasts all just cram more in to my brain so I don’t get that same meditative feeling where I’m doing nothing but running.

I got injured and piled on weight, but the weight is mostly gone now and I’m building back up to running again, I’m looking forward to being able to go out on a run for an hour or two again.

I started w music then realized I like hearing the morning nature sounds and so removed the music. Either way after a good run you still get the well being. I think something healthier for the mind about no music. But better to run with music than not to run.
