Running as Sacred Steps: Exploring the Spiritual Dimensions of Running as a Form of Prayer
Running can be viewed as a form of prayer for those who find spiritual or meditative experiences while engaging in this physical activity. Running can provide an opportunity to enter a state of mindfulness and meditation, connect with nature, engage in self-reflection and introspection, offer physical discipline and effort, and become a dynamic form of prayer. The interpretation of running as a form of prayer is subjective and personal to each individual.
