Did you know?
The benefits of running for mental health is backed by research?
That feeling of euphoria or that "runner's high" after a run is so much more than a feeling. Sustained movement for a period of time is actually releasing feel-good chemicals in your brain. Not only that, but research also finds that running can help regulate emotions, increase resiliency, and help you learn.
Over the years, we've noticed there's a lot of research that touts the benefits of running/movement for mental health, but it's rather disjointed. One of our goals here at Still I Run is to bring all of this research together and create a library of scholarly resources for anyone to browse. Research and articles shared here are all peer-reviewed studies and/or from scholarly/educational publications.
