Running for Health and Wellbeing
A Runner’s Heart is for women who run to feel better, not to chase a number on a scale. Whether you are starting from scratch, coming back after a break, or already out the door most weeks, the goal here is the same: steady, doable running that supports your health, your energy, and your headspace. You will find practical guides on how to start, how to keep going, how to stay safe on your own, and what the research actually says, written plainly and without the hype.
Practice Is Beneficial For A Healthier Life, See Why:
IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH – Running is a great way to increase your health. Research shows that racing can boost your levels of good cholesterol (HDL), and help improve lung function. Race can also boost the immune system and reduce the risk of developing blood clots.
Increases Self-Esteem
Not all benefits are physical. Running can provide a remarkable boost to your confidence and self-esteem. By setting and achieving goals, you can help give yourself a greater sense of power and accomplishment.
Stress Alive
Stress can cause a lot of health problems and moods. It can also decrease appetite and sleep quality.
Decrease Depression
When you are depressed, the last thing you probably want to do is get up and go for activity. However, after only a few minutes of running, your brain will begin to secrete hormones (endorphins) that improve your mood naturally, bringing a sense of pleasure.
