Dr. McGonigal talks with the duo about: -how to “tend and befriend” stress; -the science of a runner’s high—and the potent benefits of it; -why moving in synchronicity with people is so potent; -why you should become an early bird exerciser, if you’re not already; -how to mentally cope with a sidelining injury; and, -how to bring more joy to your life.
