Running : Simple Yet Complex - The Power of Consistency and flow

In this video, I explore the simplicity and yet underlying complexity of running. While running may seem as simple as placing one foot in front of the other, it mirrors the intricate nature of the human experience. Each runner discovers that the running path holds unique challenges and insights. I discuss the importance of consistency, even on the days when it feels tougher than usual, and how embracing this steady practice teaches us to move with the flow of life – just like the tide, which comes in and goes out. Join me as I reflect on the lessons that running imparts about perseverance, acceptance, and the rhythm of life itself. This is the poem I mentioned Ithaka BY C. P. CAVAFY As you set out for Ithaka hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, angry Poseidon—don’t be afraid of them: you’ll never find things like that on your way as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, as long as a rare excitement stirs your spirit and your body. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, wild Poseidon—you won’t encounter them unless you bring them along inside your soul, unless your soul sets them up in front of you. Hope your road is a long one. May there be many summer mornings when, with what pleasure, what joy, you enter harbors you’re seeing for the first time; may you stop at Phoenician trading stations to buy fine things, mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, sensual perfume of every kind— as many sensual perfumes as you can; and may you visit many Egyptian cities to learn and go on learning from their scholars. Keep Ithaka always in your mind. Arriving there is what you’re destined for. But don’t hurry the journey at all. Better if it lasts for years, so you’re old by the time you reach the island, wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way, not expecting Ithaka to make you rich. Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey. Without her you wouldn't have set out. She has nothing left to give you now. And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you. Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean. Copyright Credit: C. P. Cavafy, "The City" from C.P.

Cavafy: Collected Poems (Princeton University Press, 1975) Run With Julia is an opportunity to talk about your own running journey with a lifetime runner and coach who understands the high and lows, the twists and turns of the running road… It is also an opportunity to learn about running from a pro I started competing when I was twelve years old. I loved finding what was possible… I ran fast times in the 1980’s 5k 15.50 5m 26.22 10k 33.29 10m 55.10 1/2m 72.48 Marathon 2.36.31 In 1985 I had the wonderful experience of winning the Dublin City Marathon. I also competed in the 1986 Commonwealth Games, but had to retire during the race at 20m due to injury. The personal experience of the ups and downs has been growthful for me, and also given me a depth of awareness that helps me to coach others and help them return after disappointments and set backs… All these years later I am still loving competing and finding out what is possible….
