What it is

‘Shane is the Indiana Jones of the running world’ - Damian Hall, ultra marathon runner

Rejuvenate your mindset and unlock your running potential

In The Lost Art of Running, Shane Benzie discovered how reconnecting with the human body can revolutionise our running and how we live our lives. Moving his focus from our ‘hardware’ to our ‘software’, he now embarks on a journey to illuminate the secrets of the human mind.

Shane once again travels the globe in search of answers, discovering the minds and techniques of individuals who push the extreme limits of human performance. He meets big wave surfers and free solo climbers, observes ultra-runners crossing the mountain ranges of Kyrgyzstan, seeks wisdoms from Buddhist monks in Myanmar and even swims with orcas in the freezing depths of the Norwegian fjords.

Along the way, he will introduce you to powerful tools – like body and mind mapping – that will transform the way you approach your training, bring your running into sharper focus and ensure that the best coach for your mind and body is none other than you.

Part narrative, part coaching session (and always full-time adventure), Shane dives deep into the inner workings of the human mind. He shows how we can rediscover our lost ability to learn, rejuvenate our running, take ownership of our movement and, ultimately, reach our own limitless potential.
