On the last episode, I talked about the transformative power of ChiRunning, exploring how it's not just about the miles but really the mindful connection between your body and mind. I called it a system upgrade. So I want you to imagine taking this 'system upgrade' this profound shift in your approach to running, and extending it into an immersive experience. That's exactly what the Run Aligned ChiRunning Retreats are all about. They were born out of the desire to provide a space for you to fully embrace this upgrade, both physically and mentally. As I tell you about the origin story of the retreats today, keep in mind that it's not just a narrative about events; it's a journey that mirrors the transformation you can experience. They can really be a catalyst for redefining not only your running but your entire approach to well-being. Ready? Click play.

Today’s topic aligns perfectly with the season theme of 'Redefine' as we explore today how focus reshapes our running experience. Did you know our attention span averages 8 seconds? Yes, that's a second shorter than a goldfish! So much for Ted Lasso's 'be a goldfish, Sam' pep talk after a blunder, right? We're all in the same boat, pulled by the allure of 'pretty things.' Our focus is a precious commodity, and we hold the reins on where it goes. If, like me, you're eager to find a solution to that persistent craving for another dopamine hit, stick around. What we really want is a quiet brain. A calm brain. Maybe physical exhaustion after a hard or long run is currently your ticket to finally feeling the calm settle in.  So often we run to feel better physically and mentally but more often than not we return feeling disillusioned when the results of what we typically track (such as pace and distance) seem ‘blah’. We then feel frustrated and to top it off the mind still feels wired from the 2-3,000 thoughts we experienced during the hour we were running. Retrospectively, we noticed we had a difficult time connecting with the run. We need a solution to our TikTok brains. Ready? Click play.

Katherine Dreyer, co-founder of ChiLiving, joins us on the podcast today to explore how we can integrate the principles of ChiRunning into all aspects of our lives. While running (or walking) is our passion, let's face it for a big percentage of our life, we’re doing something else. So since ChiRunning principles can significantly enhance our runs, how can they apply to the rest of our lives? Imagine applying the Chi principle of 'body-sensing' off the trail—how could it deepen our connection to ourselves?
