46 // Exercise as a Coping Mechanism: Yes or No?
Show Notes

We know that exercise can be a great thing. But when isn't it? I have been loving my fitness routine as of late and particularly loving my 2 run days per week as they are a great escape from the chaos of my mind. But it takes me back to a time when my ONLY coping strategy was to exercise. As we know, too much of anything can become not so good so let's talk about it.

We chat:

  • The point in time when I started using exercise to cope with my mental illness
  • How running away from my mind lead me to burnout
  • When the best intentions turn into the worst intentions
  • The pendulum swing of over-training to under-training
  • Different types of helpful coping mechanisms
  • The balanced approach that has allowed me to add in high intensity training again
