Is Running Good For Kids?

December 13, 2021 by Steve Lemig

Father Running With Daughter

Is running good for kids? Half of you are thinking, “Is this a trick question? F*** yeah running is good for my kids—it tires them out and they actually fall asleep at a normal time.” The other half are thinking, “Well, I don’t know.

Boy Sleeping In Toilet

You spend a third of your day counting sheep. Not a big deal, right? Most people sleep 7-9 hours a night. But, think about it. In the course of a year, that’s the equivalent of 122 days. Imagine all that time spent with your eyes closed. Now, we know sleep is critical for recharging your batteries, but you ARE always trying to figure out how to fit in your run or your … [Read more...] about Is Sleep Your Enemy?
