This week I finished reading the book. Check out the video below for my review on it.
It’s not THE mindful running bible for me. I found I lost interest at points as the anecdotes were very similar and then there were some exercises and tips that I naturally incorporate in my runs anyway. However I did take away a few ideas from the book and it opened up my awareness to some factors.
In my video I talk about meditation. It is of extreme benefit to anyone to train the mind to stop clinging on to sensations, thoughts or habits, whether pleasurable or painful. Have a go at the 5-minute meditation if you have never done so. I’d love to know if you were able to keep your mind focused on your breathing.
If your mind does wander (which is its tendency) bring your attention straight back to the breathing with a few stronger breaths then back to normal natural breathing. Keep repeating this everytime you realise your mind has wandered off.
