You know, some people love super long distance.
You've run, you know, super long distances.
That's great.
You don't need to be able to do that.
If you can go for run for 20 minutes, 25 minutes, you'll gain 80% of the benefit, I think mentally.
I do.
Yeah, I do.
I absolutely do.
Got the memory side of this.
I think it's, you know...
I think we let down a lot of people in the neurodivergent space.
And I think we have to be honest.
I think we probably let down women the most of all, whether that's ADHD or actually ASD, because we've had a selection bias or diagnostic bias towards men.
We have built the idea of what ADHD looks like through a male lens.
Indeed, a lot of the researchers have been men, typically, in this space, but also the kind of
specimens, if you like, or examples of what it looks like have been men.
It's why the hyperactivity is such a central idea of what people think it looks like.
It's like the boy bouncing around the room, right?
So what that means is that we're missing a shedload of women in diagnostic element.
And also because it's not what we see as ADHD in some kind of subconscious level, I think people kind of reject it.
