Episode 136: We Actually CAN Run Away from Our Problems (Sort of)! A Discussion with Scott Douglas, the Author of Running Is My Therapy

After a summer hiatus, we are back!  We spoke with Runner's World contributing editor and author, Scott Douglas, a prolific writer and lifetime runner,. Scott has authored a number of running books, including two New York Times bestsellers with Meb-- Meb for Mortals and 26 Marathons. Scott also wrote The Genius of Athletes, Advanced Marathoning, and most relevantly to our conversation, Running Is My Therapy.  In this episode, Scott discusses how running impacts the brain long-term and why running is an essential tool for managing depression and anxiety.  Running is not a substitute for therapy...but it sure helps.
