| Résumé: | In the movie, Chariots of Fire, Scottish Olympian and missionary Eric Liddell describes his missionary vocation alongside his enjoyment of running: ' believe God made me for a purpose - for China. But he also made me fast, and when I run, I feel his pleasure'. This article explores the experience of divine pleasure in running, in other words, a spirituality of running or running as a spiritual practice. It discusses six practices that help foster or utilise a spirituality of running: warm-up focus, gratitude, attentiveness, breathing, playfulness and the examen. As an engaged and embodied spiritual practice, running can foster physical and emotional health, appreciation for nature, life-giving relationships with others, awareness of breathing, space for prayer, and teach life-giving lessons about enjoying faith, life and play. |
