The Rundown
June 13th, 2025
(Safely) run through the night
If you’re running at 3 a.m., darkness messes with your depth perception, pace judgment and ability to stay awake.
Night running isn’t just about using a headlamp. It requires you to teach your body how to move when it’s low on energy and your brain is ready to shut down.
To train safely, consider short night runs when you’re already a little tired. Start somewhere safe like on a lit path or in a quiet neighborhood. Aim for a group run or at least let someone else know where you are.
Always stay visible with reflective gear, preferably running toward any traffic.
Meal memories help our brains to remember eating
A team of scientists at USC identified neurons in the brain that store detailed memories of our eating. These memories help to regulate our eating behavior by communicating our appetite to hunger-related areas of the brain.
When hunger-related areas of our brains get impaired due to distraction, brain injury, or memory disorders, we are more likely to overeat. This is because we can't recall recent meals.
The research suggests that simply focusing on our food when we eat can be an effective treatment for obesity.
