In this episode I talk about running and I share some reasons that you should probably add it into your routine.

Go ahead and lace up those sneakers because you are now listening to Tiny Leaps.

Big Chaim.

Today's song is Fall by Justin Stone and it's appropriate because it's the exact type of music I personally enjoy listening to when I go for a run.

It's slower, more relaxed, and gives you the room

you need to really dive into your head.

So check out the artist and let's jump into another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes, where I share simple strategies

you can use to get more out of your life. My name is Greg Klunis and I'll be honest with you.

I've never really liked running. Sure I know the benefits and sure sometimes I go and I know it's a good thing

plus my girlfriend loves it but for whatever reason I've just never been able to get

behind it as something I crave and this is too bad because there are a million and one

incredibly important things that running is good for not to mention it's such an

easy and cheap exercise to get into that it's virtually accessible to everyone, regardless of where you currently are.

So in this episode, I want to explore some of the physical and psychological benefits that come with running and then lay out some specific reasons that both you and I should really start to incorporate it into our weekly routines.

Let's start with the psychological benefits. The most obvious of

this is an improved ability to manage stress. Now for many people running is a

meditative practice.

It's a period where they get to be alone with their thoughts

and explore everything that's going on in their heads.

Most of us don't really take the time

to do this in our daily lives. We have things to do, bills to pay, kids to feed, pets to take care of,

there's just not enough time to stop and reflect. Running is that time for so many of the people out there who love it.
