If running effortlessly appeals to you, if you are a beginner, if you believe that running without suffering is impossible, if you feel too old, too this or too that, if you simply dream of knowing how to run, of discovering the landscapes while enjoying the sensations of running, or if your current running practice no longer satisfies you, does not fulfill you, and running has become a source of stress, then this book is for you.
This book doesn't offer training plans, interval workouts, or performance-oriented coaching. It doesn't invite you to push your limits or race against yourself.
It offers you a different approach to running, not as a sport, but as an invitation to travel, in a gentle and balanced movement, practiced in full awareness, where the body and mind are in total harmony. Running while being fully present, here and now, allows you to embark on a wonderful inner journey, open to the environment and to others, where the body becomes a simple vehicle for this human adventure.
By creating your own practice, stride by stride, you will finally discover the infinite pleasures of running smoothly and you will see a huge playground open up before you. This is also the spirit of SPIRIDON (Vincent knows the movement well), running becomes an enriching and fulfilling experience, much more than a simple physical exercise.
