They just go out and run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eScience shows that running can mimic the effects of many common treatments for depression, and\/or make success with a given treatment more likely—be it talk therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, meditation and mindfulness, or anti-depressants. Running can also steer runners in the direction of a happier and more fulfilling way of life, encouraging social connections, a sense of purpose, healthy diet and sleep choices, decreased use of controlled substances, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRunning can do all this, that is, but it’s not quite as simple as just going out for a run.

Douglas guides readers through the methods proven to maximise running’s mental health benefits, from proper pace and distances to choosing optimal surroundings and personal routines.
