Nice.

Recommending "free running shoes" (without even explaining what they are) to beginners may not be great advice though.

And I have to say, for all the mind-clearing benefits of a long run, I tend not to think about much except... running. I guess that's it - my mind clears, it just doesn't fill with anything else. Smile

RE: Running Is The Answer: Part XXII
I've experienced both aspects, problem-solving and mind-clearing. Music makes a difference. Without music my mind pretty much clears. Music seems to distract parts of my mind, as running preoccupies motor function, unleashing a state of 'pure thought'.

It's less poncey than I make it sound, but I know what I mean Big Grin

Yes indeed, what the hell are "free running shoes"?
Run. Just run.

I assume minimalist (barefoot) style. That, or extremely inexpensive.
