It depends on different factors. Not every run is meditative, nor would I necessarily want them to be. A hard workout with a specific pace/time goal isn’t conducive to meditation. But just running by feel without a watch, when I’m in good enough shape that I’m comfortable running for a certain amount of time, etc. — then it can be meditative. But it is about focusing on breathing and balance, and then you can also repeat a mantra, or just practice not holding onto thoughts. When it happens (because I’m not sure I can force it) I definitely feel at peace after. Or sometimes I just get so inspired about some idea that I have to stop, pull out my phone and just write for a while. Running makes me want to write quite often, so that’s probably the meditative effect too.
