Jog On: How Running Saved My Life

Product Information

I don't consider myself a runner yet, but Mackie has dispelled myths that have previously prevented me from trying. You don't have to have fancy kit, you don't need to aim for personal bests, you don't need to run marathons and you can be clumsy (as I am).

She found the perfect balance between talking about challenges and hard times, and giving hope for the future.

For me there was too many cold facts and not enough personal connection between the reader and author.

I especially appreciated her focus on the barriers women are faced with when getting into exercising. Mackie discusses running from different perspectives, including how to run, how it feels, why run, running solo or in groups, how exercise has been gentrified (thereby seeming inaccessible to many) and how to pick yourself up from disappointments. Packed with insights from athletes and psychologists and step-by-step achievable goals, The Jog On Journal has everything you need to get you up and running. As someone who does suffer from depression and has had some very severe episodes in my life, the description of cycles and 'no way out' really resonated with me.Facebook sets this cookie to show relevant advertisements to users by tracking user behaviour across the web, on sites that have Facebook pixel or Facebook social plugin.

When the dog’s going crazy, the kids are yelling and the husband’s got his music blasting, I just put my trainers on, plug my headphones in and I’m gone! Perhaps it’s because for those three minutes I felt a bit less teary, and a bit less focused on what was going on inside my brain. Mackie explores how running improves your self esteem, quells anxiety and generally improves every aspect of life. Now six years later I run 20-25 miles every week without fail and I don’t know where I’d be without it.I read this book during an anxious period and skimmed these sections as they heightened my own anxiety.

However, this book is really very repetitive, and I found that especially noticeable listening to it on audiobook.

There were large sections in the first half of the book that described a variety of mental health issues. I'd recommend you give it a read, whether it's to delve into your own mental health or if you want to try to better understand the struggles of someone you know. but to my relief, she simply focuses on the benefits of running; whether you're jogging for five minutes, or heading out for a four-hour slog.
