What can I say about the long run?
The long run or long walk, is good to the heart and the soul. Going out 60-90 minutes on a Sunday, is a weekly break in the normal. Many people have done such a habit over the years. The great English poet, William Blake, would walk 15 miles on a Sunday, into his later years, starting in London city centre to the country and hope to get a ride back into town (he did this in the 1600s, so no Uber).
