You know how people always tell depressed people to exercise because it actually works in a lot of cases?

Man, does it ever work. Running changed my life!

Running broke my knees, but have you heard the good word of bicycles?

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

I certainly have. I ride often enough.

My knees were busted too. Took me a while to realize I was overtraining at the beginning. The ramp up to 5k took me 10 weeks when it should have taken 8 as I was all sorts of busted up after thinking I could just complete the goal early. I was wrong. Slow and steady won that race and every race after that in my experience. Injured myself a few more times on the way to 10k and again on the way to 21.

I seem to have leveled out so next year's goal is 42.2 for a full marathon distance.

perhaps, "we told 100 depressed people to excercise, 50 of them did, and the depressed people who excercised had way better mental health!"
