About the way I run

I run in order to slip as soon as possible into my personal, zen-like sweet spot of a 75% pulse / 6:15min/km pace, where my worries disappear and my body is working optimally.

My feet (barefoot or in minimalist shoes, such as Vibrams Sprints) flex and pump blood through my legs, my heart works hard yet comfortably pumping oxygenated blood through my musckes and brain.

At this pace, I can maintain this sweet spot for hours, the by-product of distance covered as easily as the grass deflects the wind. As the miles slip by, I am as rejuvenated and refreshed after 10km as I am after 20. My goal then, is neither speed nor distance, but the running itself.
