Running with the Mind of Meditation

I needed to read this book, and am so glad I jumped the book line schedule with it. I'm actually training for my first marathon and felt this would be helpful. And it is, for the mental game and explaining what happens as we run.

There is a lot of wisdom in these pages, analogies, bits of Shambhala teachings, but not over your head into a philosophic rabbit hole. The mind and body were meant to work together, and this book discusses the ways it happens during runs or meditation (or both), or how it goes astray and how to get that connection back.

Wonderful resource I'll be referring back to often.

This book makes a compelling case for practicing both running and meditation to enhance the benefits of both, and provides practical advice for both. The language can veer into the peculiarities of Shambhala Buddhism, but it's mostly accessible.

I've been wanting to read this for a while. Meditation and running are both great for clearing the mind, and everyone needs balance and clarity in their lives.

Some simple tips to help you be more mindful and how to connect your running to your mind. Nothing life-changing but things I can apply to both. 3 stars.
