Your Brain Wants to Go For a Run
Your brain wants to go for a run.
By now, we’ve all read Born to Run and maybe some of the science behind the assertions in McDougall book.
Generally, it turns out we humans have many physiological features indicating that running (as apposed to walking or sitting in an office chair) was a significant driver in our evolutionary past.
But now that we no longer benefit from our ability to hunt down the occasional antelope, why do we still like to run? (I’ll assume that since you are reading this, you do like to run.)
