“During my peak ultrarunning years, I started to see the long hours
on the trail as a practice of something deeper than solely logging
miles. Running became my vehicle to explore the connection between
body and mind, and ultimately a deeper sense of my being.
In Still Running, Vanessa Zuisei Goddard vividly guides us on
a journey of moving into stillness, escorting us on a path of
transferring those road and trail miles to our daily lives.”—Scott
Jurek, ultramarathon champion, New York Times bestselling
author of North and Eat and Run
“This is a lovely and unusual book, a book that speaks about the
spiritual and meditative aspects of running. I enjoyed reading this
book, which contains engaging mindfulness practices that can be
applied not just to running but to seated meditation and many other
activities in life. These practices will help the reader develop
the most important aspect of spiritual practice, deep inner
stillness, which becomes a reliable source of stability and ease in
all aspects of life. The writing is fresh, succinct, inspiring, and
laced with insights from the author’s three decades of running and
two decades of intensive Zen practice.”—Jan Chozen Bays, author of
Mindful Eating and Mindfulness on the Go
“Zen teacher Goddard combines Buddhist teachings with the sport of
running in her brisk, appealing debut. Goddard asks readers to
investigate their intent, commitment, and discipline in regard to
running, and how those same principles relate to other aspects of
their lives. Buddhist runners will enjoy this accessible,
conversational companion.”—Publishers Weekly
