Why Do YOU Run? | According To Global Strava Data

18th March 2020

Why do we run? Sometimes it’s hard. Sometimes it hurts. But we don’t think you’d be here at The Running Channel if you didn’t love running like we do.

That’s why we’ve delved into some data from Strava, the social network for athletes, to look at the reasons why we run.

Thanks so much to The Running Channel community who sent in their reasons why they run to be included in this video. If you would like to be featured in any future videos, then email your submissions to: community@therunningchannel.com
