Our goal with these discussions is to begin to attempt to sketch the outline & form of a concrete & practical approach to incorporating & exploring the spiritual path with running. \nWe cover a lot of ground in this conversation. A few of the \nThe Big Picture View\nTraining Weaknesses Early & Strengths Late\nIntentions\nOvercoming a Toxic Running Culture\nThe Felt Sense\nAn Anatomy of Soul\nStaying Open \nBrief & Debrief\nPattern Recognition & Reversal\nBeing in process \nIn the final 20 minutes, Steve brings forward an actual, real life example of how a spiritual approach (process in this case) can improve an athlete's training & racing experience in potentially evidential ways. \n& Kobe discusses how a \"failure\" experience of trying to run under 20 hours in a recent 100M event, where he finished 4 hours slower than his goal. & yet, he was deeply moved by how he was still possible to tap into the love of the process. \nAt the end of the episode we ask your to reach out to us if have specific questions or examples so we can use them to help clarify our point. \nWe hope you are encouraged & inspired by this episode to continue to take risks & dive into your next challenge. \nGodspeed, my friends, godspeed. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dbRkKSU2UErG623nDOUIliAYzn8SyaTcilUPsFS6Lc0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzIxMjIvMTU2NzE5/MjA5Mi1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
