This is where we explore the world of running. From the art of performance to the state of running culture. And from how to live a life of running to how it shapes us as human beings.
To us, running is how we connect to ourselves, others, and the mystery of life.
We're curious about where it'll take us, what it has to teach us, and who we'll become.
Running is how we practice. Running is how we live. Running is our Religion.

119 - Lydia Oldham: TSP solo, social media deals, and tattoos advice
4 years ago she wasn't even running. This year, she finished the TSP solo, running 480km through the desert. And she got sponsored doing it.
This is a conversation on mental resilience, building leverage with brands through social media, and me asking shamelessly for tattoo advice.
Enjoy the episode.

118 - Ben Poole: strength training for ultra runners
How not to gain weight when lifting as an ultra runner. It's just one of my main concerns as I'm hitting the gym more often.
It's actually not, but I asked Ben (my current strength coach) anyways.
This one is for anyone trying to get stronger up and down those big slopes even though the closest mountain is thousands of km's away.

These experiences are teaching her different things about herself as a human being as much as it allows to her to explore the purpose of running in her life.

A Path with Heart
Running is more than exercise or competition or reaching arbitrary goals. At its essence it is a deep exploration of altered states, of transformation & growth, of what is true & good & beautiful. This podcast is one of the best I have found that explores these experiences & shares insight, wisdom & praxis for how to translate running into life & life into running. Thank for this, Kobe.
