Trying to achieve endurance and longer distance, I tried various methods while running, and when i played traditional drumming tracks, from around the world, while I ran. I still had trouble going past five miles, but when I found an hour long track of Haitian Voodun drumming, I could almost easily cover ten miles without being out of breath or exhaustion! It creates a kind of trance like feeling (which is the point of it) but I wasn't sure it would work for running, since it's a spiritual practice and I wasn't trying for that, but figured a certain brain state would allow me to do things that I normally couldn't, and it worked.
I've been running around 8 to 10 miles a day, and I'm 60, with all the old person body problems, crushed disks, rheumatoid arthritis, bad knees, etc. Since I've been doing this, I've lost a ton of weight, have much less pain, and can run barefoot without injury! I'm a complete believer that the brain can do almost anything! If anyone had ever told me this was possible, I never would have believed it, but it works, just passing it along if anyone wants to try it, you won't turn into a zombie, or get possessed by Papa Legba (unless you want to), just feel better...
