Running as therapy, exercising more mindfully and the importance of friendships.

Running as therapy, exercising more mindfully and the importance of friendships at different stages in our lives.

"I run, therefore I am. For me, running is more than just a sport; it's my definer, my rock, my soulmate". Tina Chantrey tells Gillian Russell how running helped her get through her separation and divorce ... and why it continues to have a big impact on her life.

Psychotherapist William Pullen describes how running helped him, why he uses running as a form of therapy with some of his clients and how taking a more mindful approach to running can benefit our health and wellbeing.

Professional cyclist and founder of The Adventure Syndicate Lee Craigie shares her experiences of getting obsessed with goals, speeds and distances ... and explains the ways in which she's tried to regain that simple sense of cycling for pleasure.

We do it quite easily as kids but how do you make friends as an adult? Relationship expert Jenni Trent Hughes explains the importance of friendships at different stages in our lives and how we can go about making and nurturing friends for our changing needs.
