Running with Problems
Excercise Dependency
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A recent study linked Ultrarunning with Exercise Dependency. We dive into the topic to discuss whether we believe it, how bad it is, and how it affects our own life. On a lighter note, we also discuss a recent marriage proposal at the finish line of the UTMB. Enjoy!
