Running and Sex - What a Combination

Approximately 2,000 runners at the London marathon were surveyed and the results were very interesting. About 50 percent were against having sex before the race (after all they needed their rest) and those who said yes to sex had faster finishing times.

Regular running and sex increases feel-good hormones in the body which helps overall physical function and can lead to a happier life.

Harvard University experts conducted a study in 2003 and found men over the age of 50 who run at least three hours a week have 30 percent lower risk of impotence than those who do little or no exercise. So, in a way, running acts as a natural Viagra.

Also, women who had made love the night before a race stand to enhance their athletic peformance. Runners World conducted a poll of women and found 83 percent of women felt running had given their sex life a boost. Just as running improves the physical, mental and spiritual side, having sex could energize a runner and enhance emotional fitness and ultimately their performance.

I am often asked why I run so much. I tell them when I run I feel this orgasmatic, wonderful feeling or Runner's High. And I guarantee you, if it was orgasmatic, there would be more people running too!

With all this being said, I feel if a person keeps active by exercising moderately three times a week, they feel better about themselves which in turn enhances their total well being. So stay active in fitness and have a happier sex life.

Give your sex life a boost and go running, or better yet, give your running a boost and have more sex. Oh, and by the way, go set a PR while you're at it.
