It doesn't have to be the marathon distance. The journey is more important than the destination, even when running. As the poet and thinker Goethe said, "Travel for the sake of travelling."
And once you've started, the next step becomes easier. Honestly, this creature, called my inner demon, usually gets the better of me initially. And that's despite a few worn-out running shoes. It's the beginning, getting up on my ass, that's it.
Unfortunately, humans are wired to take the easiest route. Why should I run when I can drive? Those who run regularly not only get more out of life.
They are also generally healthier, sleep better, are more relaxed, and look better because fresh air positively affects their skin.
