Forward onto 2018 and we became affiliated to England Athletics are a fully fledged running club with qualified coaches and run leaders. A place to talk all things running and to find new people to run with, it was created to meet the needs of the local community. Running Colchester was set up as a Facebook group in May 2016, by runners, for runners in the local area. Come to think of it, that would make a seriously good motto for the Wales marathon.Welcome to the Running Colchester website, the friendly community for runners, in Colchester (Essex) #purplearmy But you also might just as well say we ran to be born. In sum, you might say we were born to run. A related recent study also suggests that natural selection endowed us with the ability to experience the “ runner’s high,” wiring the brain so that endurance exercise lights up its “endocannabinoid” system in a pleasurable way to reinforce a tendency toward high-intensity running. The fact that endurance exercise is known to stimulate neuronal growth in the brain’s memory-forming hippocampus suggests he’s right. In fact, our ancestors’ meat-rich diets probably contributed to the evolution of modern human traits, such as small guts, small teeth, and big brains.Įlaborating on this idea, Mark Mattson, a neuroscientist at the National Institute on Aging, has proposed that our kind evolved superior smarts partly because they helped us record and recall the complex details we encountered when running after food-landmarks, tracking clues, location of water sources, and so on. That’s because the nutritional payoffs can greatly exceed the energy costs of running down meat for us fleet-footed types.
Intriguingly, existing hunter-gatherers still sometimes resort to persistence hunting in hot weather.
