Exercise, making friends, to help reduce whatever she was feeling, and it'd, worked for her too! The many benefits of joining in a marathon group, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The marathons in Taiwan, are an ageless workout, in recent years, there'd been more than 500 marathons in Taiwan annually, with a lot of people who signed on for these, competitive, events. Based off of the statistical measures, there's half of whom signed up for the Taipei Marathon who were selected, and, in a week after the Eva Air Marathon opened up for registration, it'd become, fully booked, and the personal group of running all the way up the 101, in twenty minutes after opening for registry, it was, fully, booked.
And, running became the way that many people use to help fight off anxiety, and improve ones' own, moods.
Amy who is seventy-one-year-old joined in the running crew last year, she's the eldest of them all. Amy originally worked as accounts receivable for a school, after she retired, she'd begun part-timing at as financial advisor, works four days a week, last year, her twin grandchildren were born, and after she got off work, she'd helped with babysitting too, the tight schedule caused her body to malfunction: coughing, stomach aches, she'd found the time, to run as a way of alleviating her stresses from day to day. After several months of running, the problems that she couldn't find the causes for, all got, better.

The running group that Amy belonged to started seven years ago, on Monday, the C.E.O. of the Super Marathon Association, Kuo who'd come in for the lectures, every Thursday, the group members set up the running teams to run, all the members of the group are elderly.
Kuo told, that running other than benefiting the health, it is also good for relieving the depressive moods, a lot of people, after they'd started running, they'd improved on their anxieties, and stresses, and, joining in the running groups, you can make new friends as well too, finding that sense of belonging, create the new interpersonal, connections.
In the past, it's believed, that running can hurt the knees, and Kuo pointed to the recent studies that proved, that running is a great way to train the knees, the BEST exercise to prevent the deterioration of the joints in the knees.

The good thing about jogging is that the workout is fitting for all ages, and it's easy for the aging population to begin to jog too. Kuo pointed out, unless you're a competitor, there were, rarely any joggers who'd sustained injuries due to improper postures in running, and, most of the injuries happen, due to not having enough energies in the bodies, or not enough, muscle strengths. The running group that was described that he'd led for seven years, were with the focus of increasing stamina and improving the muscle strengths, which are the foundations to enjoy jogging. But he'd also stressed, that you don't need to wait until you gain enough muscle strengths to begin jogging, you can start off running slowly, and do the muscle toning training at the same time.
He'd suggested two things to do for those who wanted to start running in the elderly groups, join a running group first, that way you and your group can keep each other on track, to make more friends; then, to sign up for a shorter-distance, but long time marathon, and, after you finish this first marathon, you will, find more confidence, to keep on, running.
And so, this, is a great activity, you get to, make new friends, who share your same interests in running, jogging, and you also get your needed regular exercise in, and, you only need a pair of running sneakers to begin, and, you won't have to worry about injuring your knees either, because, unless you're a professional marathoner that runs, 10, 20, 30K per race, you got no worries, and you get to keep your body and mind healthy as ever too. and that would be, killing how many BIRDS with only, just, ONE stone? Exactly, there are, tons of benefits in running and jogging, so, start that regular exercise activity and keep going at it, to keep yourself healthy.
