I'm Jack, I'm a Doctor and I provide evidence-based advice to help you build healthy habits. Let's optimise what we already do and understand what we don't.
I'll explore your physical health, mental health and keep you up-to-date with the latest health innovations to keep you ahead of the curve.
IMO I’ve experienced runners high twice. It’s a very specific feeling where the body and mind is so hyper focused that the physical discomfort is numb and bliss is the end result. “Synchronicity” basically.
I’ve noticed running in the morning helps me feel more focused and deal with stress better throughout the day, and running in the evening helps me relieve any stress and gives me this great high when I’m done. This was super interesting!
I read 200 books last year because my parents confiscated all my electronic devices and i had nothing better to do. I actually enjoyed it way more than scrolling or anything else. Then my parents said i read too much and confiscated my kindle. still haven't gotten it back.
Pretty awesome. I've just recently started running regularly and love it. Also incorporated a walking pad for my WFH job which I love. Writing this message while walking on it now, btw. I would bet that even walking can give the benefit Dr Jack was referring to in his video and, if you can do that and work at the same time, win win.
Just see it for what it is, a temporary relieve of muscle soreness. It's not a long term fix for anything, but my back feels relieved after using it on my Gluteus Medius.
I’ve never had runners high as they describe from running long distances but I do feel sooooo good after running like my body is vibrating, euphoria and I can breath clearer. It’s so nice! I call that my runners high 😂 hahaha
running is for endurance it wastes my energy needed for muscle building and my free time to do relevant things i can bet the same comes from playing chess
i have gotten a few runners high in my "career" of running for 8 years now, competed in 5+ marathons. On long grueling 30km training runs when the sun is setting and the right song comes on I have started crying, life just cant get more surreal at that moment, That kinda high happens like a flash in the pan, right conditions and fuck ton of miles on your legs. Like Best way I could explain it is to go to google earth drop the dude almost anywhere in Finland middle section where there is thousands of lakes and imagine a sunset during summer on a solo run.
Just to see the kinds of societies we are living in I am currently 49 years old maybe I would look older and every time I run there are some retards that they're laughing about it. Probably they are saying:" What this old Man is doing?" The level of lack of education as well as ethos in our societies is much worse that we initially thought. PC: I always loved running I am a runner and it makes me feel stronger and better as far as concerns my health.
Honestly, the different attachment styles are so interesting!! I kinda want a psychological deep dive of them now 😂 I think learning more about ourselves and reflecting on ways to grow forward is such an important part of growing up. It’s fascinating to think that things we can’t even remember make such a huge impact on our lives. Such an interesting video, Jack, and I absolutely loved all the pictures/videos of you and your family throughout 🥹❤️
To be fair, have you ever seen anyone get a non-runner’s high? Those people don’t always look like they’re having fun either. That’s not what being high is about.
Being a bookworm and introverted, Reading is the favorite pass time but over the years it made me smart enough to read people and to react according. People often say that Books are your best friends but rather than that Books are your biggest guide you'll ever find. They will definitely solve your problems at once and all.The social settings that I crave for remain inside those crispy white pages with the smell of chlorine. Never counted but over these it must around 2K.
Running is like smoking weed without the negative effects. I think it's important to note though that the best way to avoid age related brain degeneration is to get plenty of sleep. I'm toast!
@@JackClose I started running again after about 10 years off and I'm completely hooked, hence the RU-vid scroll and discovery of your video. I like your style and presentation by the way. I'm rubbish at getting enough sleep though as I work night shifts. I'm the guy you see running at 7am having my "evening" run before bed. I figure exercise and some sleep is better than not enough exercise but more sleep. Maybe that's a good subject for a sleep related video. In a busy schedule, is it better to get 8 hours sleep and a full cerebrospinal fluid wash a day, or sacrifice some sleep to get regular exercise?
What benefits does coffee retain for people that it doesnt make more awake? what causes some people to not feel more awake even when they drink coffee? Im curious because I and a sibling have never had the experience with coffee that most people have.
For me it's such un fascinating habit to do I started reading the last year, and knew I can't stop reading sometimes I read the whole book in one night it amazing, I read 45 book this year, but to be honest one of them what I love and others what I need, but I enjoy the both it's. My favourite are Dostoevsky's novels. Also I delete the social media after started reading I felt like the Social media are boring.
you should be running at a pace where you CAN have a conversation. If you CAN'T have a conversation, you're already depleting your glycogen stores and you won't last in long distance runs. Zone 2 is about LOW HEART RATE, which relies on your long term storage for fuel (fat) rather than the instant fuel sources (glycogen) in your kidney and liver. Zone 2 is always described as " 1. conversational 2. breath comfortably through the nose 3. like you could do the same run again when you are done You shouldn't feel like you've done serious work in your Zone 2, its the pace that you can keep indefinitely.
Great video, but you got it completely backwards on the intensity-point. When doing zone 2-cardio you SHOULD be able to hold a conversation, not the other way around. If you're not able to hold a conversation, you are either in zone 3, 4 or even 5, depending on how hard you're pushing yourself. Zone 2-training can in fact feel almost too easy, but the point is that slow and steady running in zone 2 is gonna expand and improve your cardiovascular capabilities over time, making it easier for the heart to deliver blood throughout the body, and increasing your VO2-max. In a good running program you want to mix it up in terms of intensity, and you certainly want to occasionally run above zone 2. But elite runners run as much as 80 % of their total running volume in zone 2, something that is indeed quite facinating.
im intrigued how i can even sustain a run at zone 2 i think maintaining zone 2 for me in terms of mph i cant even move quick enough sadly. Do you suggest stopping once i hit 3 and then slowly upping the pace and start over again?
@stephan24297 I'd look into interval training and gradually increase your length of time at a faster pace :) if zone 2 is too much, slow down! just walking is so beneficial. Speed and endurance will come with time, the most important thing is consistency! Make it a habit and let that work for your benefit :)
@@94jmh yes, zone 2 SHOULD be easy. That's the whole point, and that's why they say that you "SHOULD be able to hold a conversation". So he messed up on that point.
My bad, yeah when running I didn't quite say that right. I meant that there's a lot of stuff on zone 2 cardio online, which you should be able to hold a conversation at that intensity, but I prefer to run at a more intense pace than that personally.
