We asked you why you love running…

You have probably heard countless times by now, from us and from others, why it is good to run and how much it contributes to overall mental and physical well-being. This time we wanted to hear your opinion, so we asked some of you why you love running. We have to admit, the answers you gave were very interesting and inspiring.

According to our friends from the association “Kilometar za osmeh” (A Kilometre for a Smile), running spreads friendship, and our team agrees, while one Srđan believes it is cheaper than a psychiatrist (it certainly is), because it helps us stabilise mentally and clear our thoughts. Dijana’s view is that a person without running is “empty”, and Snežana says she loves running because every new kilometre is a new victory.

Dragan and Ivana share the same view: that running frees us from stress and negative energy, but also from fat deposits, and that with every new step we push our own limits. Our Milica, whom running also calms, agrees with this opinion.

And what do YOU think?

Write in the comments what running has brought into your life and how you would help someone who is still undecided (with advice or by example) to decide to take up this very sport.
