Rather, running is what happens in support of everything else in your life, from your health to your mental state to your ability to show up for the important people in your life.

“Aerobic training is to endurance what mindfulness is to consistent running,” says Marty Kibiloski, marathoner and leader of running and mindfulness retreats at Colorado’s Shambhala Mountain Center. “It is the foundation upon which you can achieve greatness.
