My round 1 conversation with movement specialist Lawrence van Lingen changed thousands of runners’ lives.
In today’s new conversation, we explore how runners get unstuck, how breath creates instant change, and how elite performers use awareness and play to find breakthroughs.
Lawrence also wrote the foreword for my new book Running Breakthroughs.
Speaking of my book, if you missed Tuesday’s email: This week I’m bundling the Personal Best Program with a signed copy of Running Breakthroughs, a 30-minute personal consultation, and a $1000 giveaway entry. Only 25 consultation slots in total. More details towards the end of this email.

A few quotes from Extramilest Show #114 with Lawrence van Lingen:
- “People are just mega stuck… If you’re mega stuck, you need curiosity and play to unstuck yourself. Often the quickest way to unstuck yourself is your breath, once your breathing slows down, you have that self awareness, you go, ohh, that’s what’s going on.”
- “Elite athletes manage to give a lot of respect and attention to what they’re doing at the time and therefore you get a strong stimulus and then you get a response.”
- “If you’re training and you have a training program, you need to believe in the process 100% because that’s what requires a response. You can amplify your response to a stimulus by your mindset.”
- “Move first and then feel. Don’t wait until you feel like exercising, exercise until you feel like exercising.”
- “For most people who really want change, breath is the best segue into it. One way of meditation is just to notice your breath.”
- “The elite athletes manage to give a lot of respect and attention to what they are doing at the time and therefore you get a strong stimulus and a strong response.“
- “A lot of people really are struggling. An empty cup nourishes no-one. You got to work on yourself first and then. The more you work on yourself, the more people will interact with you differently. “
