Gentle Running and Living

Be gentle

to yourself

and others!

“Life is hard enough to add extra suffering to it”. We propose here a way to build a stronger, healthier and happier self through gentle running. Then, this “ascetic hedonism” can be translated into several aspects of life, to humbly contribute to a better world.

Whatever the activity, the rule is gentleness, sharing and enjoying the journey.

The finish line is just one small part of the joy.
