If you get cramps or a strain or some other injury then it's wise to stop and rest rather than to keep running.

But if you sometimes get that little voice in your head tempting you to stop saying 'Come on, why bother, stop running, no one need know!' - then this session is for you.

Of course the more you run, the greater your stamina, but it still feels tough sometimes to keep on running when you feel like stopping. So much of this is psychological, especially if you are physically fit. Often the first fifteen minutes or so feel like the worst until you 'get into your stride' and it starts to feel a little easier.

Bring on the feeling of flow faster

Imagine getting 'into the running zone' almost instantly you start running.

That wonderful blend of mind and body when you feel totally at one, totally merged with the act of running-running feels easy and it's easier to keep running than to stop.

The art of Zen running

This 'Zen running' is that meditative state of pure ease you experience when running becomes effortless. Some people call this the elusive 'runner's high' when natural opiates kick in. But it has more to do with the state of mind you enter.

You start to feel part machine that just keeps on running and part contemplative sage that has a sense of wider reality and perception. What a wonderful blend.

Running starts to feel like gliding over the ground as effortless mile succeeds effortless mile. Time seems to disappear and later when you finally stop because it really is time to stop running it's like awakening from a deep and wonderful active trance state.

Because running isn't just a physical activity it is a mind thing and what your mind does when you run can mean the difference between stopping and keeping on running to great fitness and faster times.
