The Philosophy of Running by George Sheehan.

Episode 107: The Philosophy of Running by George Sheehan. Why do we run? And why does the answer change as we get older? In this episode, we explore the timeless wisdom of George Sheehan — physician, runner, and the original voice asking not how we run, but why. Drawing from Running & Being, Sheehan’s essays, and insights from his son Tim in a Ted Talk, we look at running as identity, partnership with the body, a source of meaning, and a discipline that creates freedom. For masters runners especially, his ideas feel more relevant than ever. This is a reflective, heartfelt exploration of how running evolves with age — not as decline, but as refinement. A reminder that we don’t stop running because we get old; we get old because we stop running. Helped in research by a Ted Talk by George's son, Tim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aII5dYK3v_Q Podcast support: buymeacoffee.com/mastersofrunningpodcast If you enjoy the podcast and want to help cover costs like Zoom, editing software; kit and future development like my planned live shows, you can now support the show through the trusted creator support app, 'Buy me a coffee.'
