Jog On: How Running Saved My Life
von Bella Mackie
I read an interview with the former Arsenal football player Tony Adams recently, where he said that his marriage works because his wife and he don’t actually need each other. They love each other, but they would also be perfectly fine on their own. Their choice to be together is a deliberate one, not based on needing support or money or reassurance from somebody else. ‘Our body rewards us for movement – it makes us tougher, stronger, makes our bones thicker, helps with serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. It gives us the means to be more intelligent.

Sadness isn’t something to worry about – you’re feeling what you’re supposed to be feeling. But you don’t have to entertain it, invite it to stay longer and make up a bed for it.
‘Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.’
According to research undertaken by a team at University College London, it takes an average of sixty-six days to pick up a new habit and make it stick.
