Running isn’t about how fast you go, how far you make it, or how perfect the conditions are. It’s about showing up when every part of you wants to quit.

This image captures something most runners don’t talk about: the fight within. The man in this photo isn’t just running against the storm he’s running against doubt, fatigue, and every voice that said he couldn’t. That’s what true strength looks like.

A short run will never make the highlight reel. It won’t impress anyone on Strava. But it changes something inside you. It builds resilience. It teaches you that forward is always forward, no matter the pace or distance.

Think about the days you skipped because it was raining, too late, or you just weren’t in the mood. Now imagine if you had laced up anyway, even for 10 minutes. The run may not be epic, but it shifts your identity. You go from “someone who skipped” to “someone who did it anyway.” That’s the mindset that builds champions whether your finish line is a 5K, a marathon, or simply a healthier version of yourself.

So here’s the truth: a short run is better than no run. Always. Because it’s not the miles that matter most it’s the decision to move when it’s easier not to.

A major review of over 1,000 trials shows that exercise is significantly more effective at reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety than medication or therapy — with benefits kicking in fast, especially in the first 12 weeks.

Strength training, yoga, and even short walks were all linked to measurable mental health improvements, with adults over 45 responding especially well.

Surprisingly, shorter workouts delivered better results than longer routines, challenging common assumptions.

Experts say it’s time to treat exercise as a first-line treatment, not just an add-on — and the data makes a compelling case.

Full breakdown and key findings below.

MASS GAINER VS WHEY PROTEIN
If you've checked the prices of whey protein lately, it seems like you'll have to go into overdraft just to keep your protein intake up. We have a funny situation in our household. My 15-year-old son is mad about the gym and wants to look like Arnold, so I've told him to eat a lot, ie saturate his system with protein and calories.

He's taken this advice to heart and it's not uncommon for him to help himself to 4 shakes of Whey protein powder in a given day. It's great if you're in pursuit of that 1grm of protein per lb of body weight, but it's not great if the WHEY lasts about 4 days... - lol

The solution I gave him was to start using a MASS GAINER. Essentially this is the same as the WHEY PROTEIN, ie it has similar protein content, per serving. The difference is that the MASS GAINER is a much larger serving because the focus here is on calories and not just protein. It's much cheaper and does a good job of saturating your system with much-needed protein and calories. I recently did a month of MASS GAINER instead of WHEY and was quite amazed by the results. I gained a full 4Kg's since the end of November.

So, in conclusion, - if you're a young gun, have a ticking metabolism, and wish to put on some size, then go for the MASS GAINER and leave dad's expensive WHEY ALONE.
If you're dad and want to keep your muscles, even gain some, whilst not getting fat, then go for the WHEY PROTEIN.

Finding joy in the workouts we do, even if it's a small and gently one, is way better than berating yourself for not hitting your Personal Best during every workout.
