On “Psychology Behind the Headlines”, hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest therapist Ryan Heapy discuss the positive impact of running clubs that are using social influence to motivate people to get outside and exercise.
Social Media Influence
Running has become trendy thanks to “run influencers”, who present it as accessible and lifestyle-focused, instead of just about workouts.
Running as a Social Activity
New running clubs aren’t your traditional track team. Some even include DJs, food, and a party atmosphere to make exercise more enjoyable.
Motivation & Accountability
For many, having a group to run with provides motivation and stops you from skipping workouts.
