Mostly running events-two of which I am doing this year. Either outside running on the trails all day during a race, in the gym, or in a room filled with yogis breathing, moving, and sweating together. When I am surrounded by people who enjoy doing the same things that I do. I also just came across some research that showed exercise or physical activity in a hot environment such as hot yoga can help someone who lives at a lower altitude prepare for a race in a higher altitude, which will help with my race in Colorado later this year When are you happiest? I mainly do hot power yoga classes and I feel like those prepare me well for races that are in the really hot summer months. There are numerous benefits that yoga provides to improve running. I enjoy yoga now just as much as running. I initially used yoga to help me with running injuries but as I began to practice more it became so much more than that. Yoga is where I go to strengthen the mind. Most people forget to strengthen the mind for ultra-endurance events and only focus on the physical aspect. While you do have to run a lot, I feel like the longer the race the more mental it is to finish than physical. When training for ultra-marathons, people often think you have to run an insane amount of miles to prepare.
