Does meditation help with running? Can meditation help you run faster? If you are a runner who laces up your shoes for the simple reason of getting in that mental clearing run to help you manage stress, improve mood, and stay healthy (or it could literally be the only time in your chaotic day that you have time to yourself) then you will want to listen to this experiential learning episode!

Rebecca Doring who is a runner, Meditation Teacher, Yoga Instructor, & Personal-Transformation Coach, who helps people overcome daily stress and manage their inner critic so that they can get to know who they really are, and go after and achieve the goals they want.

In this episode, Rebecca teaches us about the benefits of meditation for runners as well as guides us through a short meditation practice that you can do as part of a seated meditation or as part of a mindfulness exercise during your run! (You will want to give this a try)

• What is Meditation?
• Why is meditation good for runners?
• How do you actually meditate?
