Our pleasure , Matt . <| sep |> I have been getting really into meditative running . There ' s often a certain point I get to , usually when I am in a recovery jog after an intense sprint , where I feel overcome with calmness and balance . It is one of the most zen mental spaces I have ever been able to harness and maintain . I can feel and control all the different parts of my body working together , I focus on posture , form , small adjustments that make a world of difference in my performance . Sometimes I also smoke a little marjiuana before a run and I can sink into the space even deeper , in a more mystical way , but I save those experiences for special times when I feel in need of spiritual rejuvenation . Anyone else ever experimented with meditative running ?
