I have NEVER run for stress relief or fitness but my daily wwalks of 40 minutes sure help me stay flexible(as much as pwp can) and certainly make me feel better both mentally and physically. I recommend walking/running/exercising with a partner and at about the same time daily so it is a habit. My neuro when asked about exercise for pwp said, "Use it or lose it."
