I’m running 1.5km every day for two weeks already. Anxiety still strikes sometimes. Depression is measurably better, but it was getting better months ago when I started taking fluvoxamine, so I can’t attribute this to running alone.

Running will help me in another way though: my mental health will definitely be going through the roof when I look in the mirror and see the beautiful, albeit scarred, slender body I posessed before it all started.

1.5km is not a lot tbh. Do you work with intervals? You run two minute, you walk one (or three) minutes. You'll get to 5km that way.

I think you're going too fast

I advise you to learn Dutch and use the "Hardlopen with Evy" app. She's the best. Since she also picks the song you're running on, not from your own lib but her choice. In general good music, prevents getting distracted by doing yourself

@retoor I don't bring electronic devices with me when I run

@NickyBones Cipralex is neither heroin nor datura — it won’t cause irreversible harm. I suggest you try it if you feel desperate. It changed my wife’s life

How many calories is that. I run 500 cal per day

Fuckin hell retoor give em a break 😂

1.5 IS GREAT !!!!!

But yes it isn't THAT much, try 3,4,5 ! You will FEEL INCREDIBLE

So good to hear you've been getting active 🥰

I've been doing it too ! With a job like ours it's fucking crucial......

🏃‍♀️💨 (kiki) 🏃‍♂️(me) 🏃‍♀️(retoord)

And yes I don't bring anything with me either !

Just me and the sounds of my own breathing, mind, and nature ! 🥰

@NickyBones thank God. +1 for the drama here too. Sadly, I can't decide it for myself anymore, forced injections every month (haldol). Yes - it exists. #blackMirror

@lopu no, we can't be too nice for people giving just average performance. That's how our sector is dying and will die.

1.5km, where I come from that's where the neighbors live.

Also, running is afaik not much better than walking. Running only causes injuries.

I'm sure the kiker has done 5km by now. But really, do dem intervals. It's the way to learn, else you torture yourself.

1.5km, no alcohol and drugs her whole life 😂 That paid off 😂

My phone charges wireless 1.5km
