Jog On: How Running Saved My Life

Product Information

She began to set herself achievable goals – to run 5k in under 30 minutes, to walk to work every day for a week, to attempt 10 push-ups in a row.

Until one day she did something she had never done of her own free will – she pulled on a pair of trainers and went for a run. It is just about a woman who just loves running, she loves it a lot, and she appreciates all the benefits it's brought to her life. We went to an emergency room but the young intern, looking exhausted of course, didn't seem to take it seriously. That said, for people who have little or no knowledge of anxiety/depression/PTSD and more, the detailed medical explanations may offer an insight.Applicability of cancellation rights: Legal rights of cancellation under the Distance Selling Regulations available for UK or EU consumers do not apply to certain products and services. You don't have to have fancy kit, you don't need to aim for personal bests, you don't need to run marathons and you can be clumsy (as I am). Divorced and suffered from mental health problems, her motivation to get up from the floor was having to pee.

I really appreciated hearing Bella Mackie's story of how she found a mechanism for helping her deal with her crippling anxiety, and found the stories that she included of others genuinely informative. Mackie discusses running from different perspectives, including how to run, how it feels, why run, running solo or in groups, how exercise has been gentrified (thereby seeming inaccessible to many) and how to pick yourself up from disappointments. This is why most people equally think of running as some kind of punishment or something they have to endure to get the desired after effects. Bella Mackie isn't your average coach - she's much swearier, and she's never going to give you a nutrition plan or join you on a marathon.Perhaps it’s because for those three minutes I felt a bit less teary, and a bit less focused on what was going on inside my brain.
