Is running a marathon good for you? Bonus clip from Modern Wellness Podcast

Adrienne shares a clip from her brand new show Modern Wellness Podcast. Make sure you go and follow/subscribe now!


Welcome to Modern Wellness! A brand new podcast from Adrienne Adhami, Sammi Adhami, and Oli Patrick, exploring everything to do with the wellness industry, and the role it plays in society today.


In this episode we answer the question “Is running a marathon good for you?” as race season is well underway and more and more people are getting in to long-distance running. We assume it must be good for us, but is it really?


Plus for "This Week In Wellness" we delve into the world of luxury gyms and head to Forbes for their article on Equinox’s new eye-wateringly expensive health offering. "Equinox Is Launching A $40,000 Gym Membership Aimed At Longevity—Here's What Comes With It


Lastly there's a discussion on THC and CBD edibles, the key differences between them, and how some people may be substituting them for alcohol.

Support and help for substance addiction can be found online, such as Turning Point. https://www.turning-point.co.uk/support-we-offer/drugs-and-alcohol
