Mental Health & Running

Mental health and running can seem like an odd combination at first. It is not as odd as you would think at first glance. They actually go together quite well.

Research studies have proven that becoming, or staying, active helps to lessen the symptoms of depression and grief. It’s how Coach Gerald initially found running as a means to deal with his mental health issues. It was a means to deal with the major grief he had from losing his mother. It helped him find a purpose again and gave him joy and a better mood from depression.

RunRev Coaching helps those dealing with the same issues by doing the following:

Community – Finding your crew for support and accountability is so critical for success. RunRev Coaching uses the Slack app to form a safe community to share struggles and challenges. A hive mind can often come up with solutions you may not think of or see. It can also form a place to find an accountability partner to help you get out the door when you don’t really want to.

Customized Plans – Each of us are unique. Whether you are a beginner or a more experienced athlete, our life circumstances, fitness level, and equipment are all unique. Having a coach helps you put together a plan of action that works for you. You don’t have to worry whether you should run, how long you should run, or what type of run you should do. Working with your coach creates a plan that challenges you but doesn’t tax you.

Support – Having a coach gives you so much more than a plan though. A coach is there to support you along the journey. They are your cheerleader, your support person, and much more. They are there to help you find success along your journey. When dealing with mental health issues, you can often feel isolated and unheard. A coach that understands you and your struggles can be invaluable.
