Exercise is medicine.
New study finds:
Running EASY for 45 minutes, 2-3 days a week for 16 weeks had similar effectiveness on mental health as anti-depressants.
Get outside and get going:

Exercising 150 minutes per week for 4 months is equally as effective as taking an antidepressant for depression, review finds.
Get outside and get moving.
Start small and easy. For many, a walk is enough when you are starting.
If you reckon you're tired today give this one a whirl. Record-setting Aussie woman Erchana Murray-Bartlett is on the cusp of completing 150th marathon in 150 days. She started her run days before Nedd Brockmann and she’s still going 6300km later.

Going under the radar, but 👑 @steve_mona unofficially broke the World 60+ 5000m Record last night at Collingwood - running 15:52.9 (meet unsanctioned). Amazing to call it in with @michaelmasseni. Get him in the @WABathurst23 Golden Ticket Race

Limits are there to be broken. By you and me together.
I can say that I am beyond happy today that the official world record is once again faster. Thank you to all the runners in the world that inspire me every day to push myself.
RECORD FOR RAYNER 🔥🔥
Jack Rayner runs 27:15.35 to obliterate the Australian and Oceania 10,000m record of 27:22.55! The 44-second personal best sees him meet the standard for the World Athletics Championships and Commonwealth Games.
