Description

Throw away your FitBit, stop counting your daily steps, and instead learn to run mindfully. If you can find the three key elements of space, silence and patience, you’ll be far more able to tackle big problems at work and at home.


William Pullen is a psychotherapist who helps clients using his revolutionary method of Dynamic Running Therapy. His work combines movement and talk therapy to harness the synergy of mind, body and spirit.


In this classic reissued episode Andrew and William discuss


🏃🏾‍♂️How a good walk is different from a good run


🏃🏽‍♀️The practice of “asking your run/walk a question”


🏃🏻What the way someone walks can tell us about them. 


William also tackles a particularly thorny reader’s letter about what to do if you find that your smartphone use is taking over your life and spoiling your relationships.
