| A new industry is promising the benefits of meditation to runners who can’t sit still. “Mindful running is about taking that average runner and saying, ‘You know what? It’s great to have these goals and pursue these specific outcomes, but don’t do it at the expense of cultivating this self-awareness.’” So says Elinor Fish, who runs Colorado-based Run Wild Retreats and Wellness. Her clients usually want to dissociate from any pain that arises, to push through and attain the health benefits of the run. But Fish is training them to recognize that they can do more through an approach some call “mindful running,” which marries mindfulness practices and aerobic exercise to maximize the complementary health benefits of both. |
