Chattanooga Track Club

Members of the Chattanooga Track Club represent a diverse array of runners – many speeds, many ages, and some recovering from illness or injury. Over the past few years I have observed incredible resilience in some who seem unfazed, but others who have really struggled to return with the same discipline or joy. I was curious about how the mental aspect of injury or illness plays into recovery, so I recently sat down with Dr. Leah Washington, Associate Professor of Health & Human Sciences at Bridgewater College, to pick her brain. Dr. Washington is a PhdD in Athletic Psychology and focuses on rehab with her athletes.
Over the next several days we'll be sharing a story any runner who has been injured might relate to, as Marianne’s recovery involves not only her biological
recovery but also her psychological, and social framework. - Amy K.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and much like physical health, our mental health is just as important.
As little as three 45 minute workouts a week can deliver optimal mental health benefits. Adding in mindfulness-based activities like yoga and tai chi, can also significantly improve mental health.*
So let's set a goal to not only move our bodies, but to take care of our mental health as well. May the Fourth be with you.
