Methodology: The Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI) assessed prevalence of EA in amateur runners. 100 female amateur runners between 18 and 55 from the Delhi NCR were selected to fill out the EAI. Mixed method approach was carried out on respondents with EA using observation and interview techniques.

Thematic analysis revealed cause of EA as motives related to stress release and social affiliation. The research leaves substantial implications for sports psychologists and sports persons.
