During my time with this book, I changed from a runner to a walker due to injury.

However the mindfulness exercises, worked really well on my walks too, or even when just sitting.

I suffer from anxiety and found some great coping skills that I can apply before and after my walks. To be honest, I found this was more of a therapeutic book, than a book about running. And that suited me well.

While this book might be called Running With Mindfulness, it is more a book about overcoming depression and anxiety - which is all great - then a book on integrating the practice of running and mindfulness. It missed its mark, in that regard, so even with all of the helpful information hidden within its pages, I was not happy with it - simply because did not fulfill its promise. If you are looking for a book on mindfulness or running, or the combination of both, you won’t find answers in this book.

William Pullen's book "Running with Mindfulness" definitely has the theme of Movement is medicine. It was well written and was enjoyed while I was on the bicycle at the gym before my run.

A great introduction to mindfulness, but I'm not sure how running fit in.

This book was more of a therapy book than a running book. It ended up talking so much about the things that make us sad and angry. Where was the running with mindfulness? Not until the very last quarter of the book were some running mindfully exercises explained. A let down of a book.
Favorite quote: "Trying to fix yourself means starting at a place where you are broken. This is the opposite of the self acceptance that sits at the heart of dynamic running therapy."

Good resource for beginners in therapy and/or running, preferably both. I think seasoned runners will already have the knowledge that running is great therapy. There's even a t-shirt out there that says, "Running: it's cheaper than therapy!"
