Ever wondered why your best ideas strike mid-run, or why you feel calmerafter a tough workout? In this week’s episode, we are joined by psychotherapistand triathlon coach Nestor Rivera to bridge the gap between physical effort andmental health.
We dive deep into the biology of the "runner’s high"—movingbeyond just endorphins to explore the calming power of endocannabinoids. Plus,we discuss why running serves as such a powerful tool for neuroplasticity andcreativity, and why it can sometimes be the perfect companion to professionaltherapy.
Whether you are navigating pre-race anxiety, looking for strategies to"chunk" your next marathon, or trying to beat the post-race blues,this conversation is packed with actionable insights for your mind and body.
