    This is “born to run” by Christopher McDougall running theory right?

    First I hear of this McDougall. I learned everything I typed on my own, painfully, by running in all the wrong ways first. That’s why I was about 42 when I learned how to run.

    That said, if McDougall says the same things I say, great! No one should suffer injuries from heel stomping like I had. No one should go through the same hell as I. No one should have to cough up blood from their lungs due to overly rapid breathing, like I had. No one should believe the rate or breathing is a fixed and inborn quality. Instead everyone should know that the rate of breathing is a trainable quality. And the rate of breathing depends on the calmness of one’s deep mind. The calmer the mind, the slower the breathing can be. Hence why I advised to enter a sleep-like state.

    I also combined running with meditation and psychoenergetic training (I learned psychoenergetics from Nanci Trivellato and Robert Bruce). That’s basically it in a nutshell.
