What is Something You Recommend (and why)?

Wow, I don't find running leaves me energized. While I enjoy running (and especially long distance running), I find it leaves me drained and often depressed afterwards. I don't get the Runners High that so many mention, if anything I get Runners Low.

I generally enjoy the run and find it helps me lose weight in the long term, but I also find it saps my productivity because I feel so terrible & drained afterwards.

[Since my post is so negative, let me add a recommendation for an iPod Shuffle or Bose QC25s while running. I find the music helps me run 10 - 20% faster if I choose the right music, typically music by Pendulum.]

I try and practice mindfulness when I run, thinking about my breathing and steps, etc... I leave all my technology in my locker. A shuffle would be better than a phone, though. I've been considering one but I'm a big Spotify user. Sorry to hear about the post-run low :/

iPod + offline mode works for me :-)
