Women and Running as Work-Life Balance
Many women report that running is an excellent way to strike a healthy balance between work and personal life, improving mood and fitness while simultaneously decreasing anxiety levels and providing a sense of well-being.
Study results indicated that women’s running time was often compromised by work and family commitments – suggesting society must do more to prioritize exercise for women. Dr Sara MacBride-Stewart of Cardiff University’s Sustainable Places Research Institute and School of Social Sciences led this investigation with Run 4 Wales.
