In this part, I expect to discuss the mental change caused by running. At the beginning, according to the report of runners, take into account on their running emotion. In the next place, researching for how the mental phenomenon is bringing in running, and what is the influence in our life. There are two pars in running benefits, the mental benefits and the body benefits.

There will be almost nothing of emotion area waiting to search can affect you in your brain than running. These profound changes also bring far-reaching impacts, and it can supply the clues for us to realize the complex relation. In the few months that I work for research this book, I have travelled lots of places, I communicated with kinds of runners and other people, and they provide me running information in different directions.

When the talking starts, there will be a concrete question in my brain, for instance, the question of the running of an outbreak of the man with heart trouble, the strategy of the race and which kind of muscular tissue related to when the man is running. In a short time of communication, we can firmly discuss that problem. But nevertheless the theme will shift, we will talk a topic which I never touch, this question is just the mental state of running. What's the change of the runner during the time of sports? Almost everybody is taking care of this problem secretly, the number of the people always think these questions is astonishing. It's really a strange thing, so I asked opinion of John Henderson about these questions. He is the "Runner's World" chief editor. He thinks the running problem's deeper than anyone alive. He told me, he doesn't feel it is unexpected. He predicts the problem which running bring will become the next important await research area in emotion. There will be a great detection in this field..

I have agreed with it. Nowadays, our society quite attach importance to the training of Sanzen, Za-zen and raise the purpose, we learnt from eastern let ourselves hale and hearty by this means. Judge from the reported with the human who have these activities, these movements have great functions. A number of men can make calm easier, and don't feel blue and worried. They can easier and longer to focus attention on one thing. There seems a power around them, if they find it is gradual fade away, just go out and run, the power will be back at the moment. But not all of these activities have influence. In many cares, It is because of one's character is not suit with nature identity. The words in our daily life are not easy to describe this phenomenon, so the deep benefits are difficult to describe. Running needs quality and the ability, such as your physical strength when your body is extremely tired. The best way to escape the depression and build a sound body is running. Avoid depression is just the stopgap, but build a sound body is a long-term policy. In reverse, through the running can let someone have deep transformation, yet the transformations totally come from interior, and it closely united with one's individuality.

We can divide up the running benefits into two parts, the mental benefits and the body benefits.
