Five Good Questions:
- Who was Alexander, what was his technique, and how does it relate to running?
- What is S.M.A.R.T. running?
- In our achievement-driven society, emphasis is placed results over process. Your book argues putting process over results, which happens to fit with how some of the best investment thinkers view the world. Why do you put process over results?
- What’s the mantra/checklist I should be telling myself while I’m running to maintain good form?
- What’s the connection between running and deep thinking exercises, like reading?
With gratitude,
