Running & Physical Wellness

Join me in my path to understanding how to listen to my body better to find physical comfort and wellness. As an avid runner (not a fast one), I share my favorite tips and techniques on how to improve my runs, from what kind of gear I use to how often I run. I’ll also share foods I’m enjoying (or not) and how my body reacts to them, in addition to other physical traits like thyroid nodules.

It was discovered following a regular wellness visit to my family physician, who had reviewed by family history and read that I…

Running slowly, but consistently.

Bymaddie bien July 13, 2024August 31, 2024

How often should you run? I have taken to running every day, from 45 minutes to an hour, on my treadmill or outside, because of the endorphin boost and the satisfaction after finishing a run. I am not a fast runner, but I typically will run between 3-4 miles most days. I recently learned that…

Running gear I’m into

Bymaddie bien July 13, 2024August 31, 2024

A few years back, I got into running daily. I don’t run fast, or very long, even (on average I run for either an hour on my treadmill with 40 minutes walking and 20 actually running or just over 5 kilometers if I run outside), but it just feels so good after – my head is clear,…
