Tao of Running 10-Week Transformation™
A Fit Body, A Sharp Mind, A Happy Soul!
Human Beings Are Supposed To Be Fit, Healthy, Peaceful, Balanced, Focused, And Truly Happy...
But the fast-paced sedentary modern world has negatively impacted our health, performance & true happiness...
We have become really busy and are constantly overwhelmed by responsibilities and unending to-do lists. As the years go by, we can feel our energy levels as well as physical, mental, and emotional health draining away.
This isn't normal and this isn't right. I designed Tao of Running to help people feel like humans at their best again, not just machines waiting to break down. You will know that program is for you if more than a handful of the following statements apply:
Human Evolution and Chronic Stress : In the last 10,000 to 15,000 years, human beings have gone through three "cultural revolutions" that completely changed the way we move, think, eat, sleep, and live in community. Unfortunately, our bodies and minds were not biologically equipped to cope with these changes, which has led to chronic stress, modern diseases, and unhappiness.
Chronic stress is the number one killer in the modern world and is linked to six of the leading causes of death, including heart disease, cancer, and suicide. More than 75 percent of all physician office visits are for stress-related complaints.
However, we don't have to accept this as our fate. Human beings are supposed to be fit, healthy, peaceful, focused, and truly happy.

The Tarahumara Tribe: A Living Proof : The Tarahumara tribe in Mexico's Copper Canyon provides an excellent example of this. They have maintained an unchanged lifestyle for ages and have never been exposed to modern practices. As a result, they are free from modern diseases and live with a sense of freedom and joy, running mega-marathons as a part of their daily life.
In contrast to modern society, the Tarahumara tribe does not engage in violence or conflict, and they have never had any interaction with conquistadors. They live a simple and peaceful life that is in tune with their environment, providing us with a living proof that we can achieve a healthier and happier life by living in harmony with nature.

Tao of Running ™ offers a unique step-by-step and systematized approach...

.... combining and interrelating:

Here Is How The Program Is Structured:
WEEKS 2 & 3
In weeks 2 and 3, you'll focus on building the foundations to run in a more "natural way," which includes reducing the risk of injuries and improving running efficiency. You will also start to make running "stick" into your life
Module 2 is conducted on week 2. At the end of module 2 you will:
- Understand what to do for warm-up, core run, and cool down
- Know the typical root causes of running injuries and lack of enjoyment
- Know the foundations for a good posture/running form
- Have tips to start creating routines and habits to make running “stick” to your life
- Apply learned techniques during the “on the run” coaching session
After module 2, you will be invited to practice the learning to condition body and mind to the techniques. There will be regular interactions with the coach to share your challenges and progress and receive additional reading material, videos and apps for additional facts & details about the science behind the program. There is no formal module on week 3
WEEKS 4 & 5
In weeks 4 and 5, you'll continue practicing the techniques learned in weeks 2 and 3, and you'll also learn how to increase your attention and be more aware of the present moment and body sensations while running. The underlying benefits include improved concentration, reduced stress and anxiety, better sleep, and increased joy in the running process.
At the end of module 3 you will:
- Define and demystify mindfulness
- Understand how to train your mind to be more mindful both inside and outside of a running context
- Apply the learned techniques during the "on the run" coaching session
- Have the opportunity to practice the techniques to condition your body and mind to these new techniques.
After module 3, you will have regular interactions with the coach to share your challenges and progress, and you'll receive additional reading materials, videos, and apps for more information about the science behind the program. There is no formal module in week 5.
WEEK 6
In week 6 of the program, you’ll build on the knowledge of the 5 previous weeks and learn how to use heart rate monitoring strategies to practice running to rebalance your nervous system. This is a critical step to enable different experiences for your body-mind system, such as entering "the zone" or flow state, increasing creativity, and improving intuition.
At the end of module 4 you will:
- Understand the roles played by different nervous systems for your health & well-being
- Understand the links between the breathing function & heart function
- Understand how to practice running to lose weight healthily and become a fat-burning machine
- Understand the link between the “heart rate zones” and different types of running experiences
- Have calculated your personal “heart rate zones” and use an heart rate monitor to enable various running experiences
- Apply learned techniques during the “on the run” coaching session
After module 4, you will be invited to practice the learning to condition body and mind to these new techniques. You will have regular interactions with the coach to share your challenges and progress and receive additional reading material, videos, and apps for additional facts & details about the science behind the program.
WEEK 7
In Module 5, you'll learn how to create a bridge between exercise and nutrition by understanding nutrition principles that will help you make better food choices and improve your eating habits.
Rather than providing specific meal plans, this module focuses on giving you the knowledge and tools to choose appropriate foods that work for you as an individual. By doing so, you'll be able to continue the positive impact on your weight, energy level, sleep, brain performance, mood, and overall well-being that you've already experienced in the program.
At the end of module 5 you will:
- Understand how to combine exercise and nutrition principles to lose weight healthily and sustain it over time
- Learn to recognize and dispel myths perpetuated by the food, fitness, and medical industries that may be hindering your progress
- Understand the differences between sugar-burning metabolism and fat-burning metabolism and how they affect your overall health
- Learn and apply a simple and powerful technique to break bad eating habits
After module 5, you will be invited to practice the learning to condition body and mind to these new techniques. You will have regular interactions with the coach to share your challenges and progress and receive additional reading material, videos, and apps for additional facts & details about the science behind the program.
WEEKS 8 & 9
Module 6 takes place during weeks 8 and 9 of the program. During this module, you will learn new running techniques, mind training techniques, and strength/mobility exercises that will help you achieve greater running efficiency and enjoyment. The goal is to bring you closer to experience a state of "flow" while running.
By the end of Module 6, you will:
- Know some new running techniques, mind training techniques, and mobility/strength exercises to enable the energy to flow more smoothly in the body-mind system
- Understand how these principles can be applied in your running practice to become a "effortless runner" when the body and mind are working as a single entity
- Have done a video for running form analysis
- Apply learned techniques during the “on the run” coaching session
After Module 6, you will be encouraged to practice the techniques you've learned to condition your body and mind. You'll have regular interactions with your coach to share your progress and receive additional reading material, videos, and apps to deepen your understanding of the science behind the program. There is no formal module in week 9.
WEEK 10
Module 7, "Mastering Your Own Journey," is conducted at the final week of the program. During this week, you will review the resources available to you to ensure that you can sustain continuous improvement, also known as "Kaizen" in Japanese. The goal is to reach mastery level and experience the additional underlying benefits, making it a lifestyle, the Tao Lifestyle™.
By the end of Module 7, you will:
- Receive a video montage providing feedback on your posture and running form and summarizing the remaining opportunities for improvement
- Envision how your practice will evolve as you reach mastery level
- Have reviewed the benefits of the program at this stage, as well as the benefits resulting from increasing your level of mastery of the various practices
Ultimately, the goal is to achieve a fit body, a sharp mind, and a happy soul!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the program is open to beginners, and it's designed to help people improve their health and well-being through the practice of running.
As everyone has a different level of fitness and experience, the program focuses on providing tools and techniques to better listen to the body and connect body and mind to progress at the right pace based on individual fitness levels.The program is not focused on performance, but rather on the enjoyment of the practice, which motivates practitioners to do more of it, leading to improved performance as a natural outcome of regular practice.
Some participants may have never run before and may start by mixing walking and running at the beginning, while others may have already run half or full marathons and want to enjoy their runs more, balance better their life, improve their nutrition and/or sleep, prevent injuries, and develop more efficient running techniques
The Tao of Running Transformation program is a 10-week journey designed to elevate your fitness, health, mental performance, and overall well-being. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced runner, you will experience a fulfilling sense of incremental progress towards your specific goals.Over the 10 weeks (which can be adjusted for a 1-on-1 program), you will:
- Attend 7 training and coaching sessions, each lasting 2 to 2.5 hours. These sessions will combine theory with on-the-run coaching, helping you to build knowledge and transform it into skills.
- Receive guidance on how to practice on your own, typically three times a week, to reinforce what you've learned during the coaching sessions.
- Have access to the key slides from the 7 training modules in PDF format.
- Engage in regular interactions with me to share your challenges and progress, and receive additional reading material, videos, and apps to learn more about the science behind the program.
- Use coaching cards to support your personal practice, and a 10-Week Transformation Program logbook to help you track your progress.
- Receive a video montage at the end of the program to provide feedback on your posture and running form, and to summarize remaining opportunities for improvement.

By the end of the program, you will have initiated a transformation in your life and experienced increased fitness, health, balance, and well-being. This will motivate you to continue on this path, making it a natural part of your new lifestyle.
While each participant's experience will be unique, I can confidently say that everyone will gain something valuable from this program that they can carry with them for the rest of their lives.
Over 250 participants, with diverse profiles and backgrounds, have taken part in this program and can attest to its effectiveness. Men and women, young and old, employed or not, seasoned runners or complete beginners, analytical or intuitive, parents or not—each participant has her/his own story of transformation and growth.
You can read some of the testimonials from the past few years to get a sense of the impact this program has had on others.
While I can't guarantee specific results, I can assure you that the program will provide you the tools and support needed to start your own transformative journey for the best version of yourself.
Yes, the practical part of running is included in modules 2 to 7 [excluding the remote version of the program where I probe more questions to understand the situation and use videos to provide feedback] and takes place in a group setting for group programs or one-on-one coaching for private programs.
These sessions are typically held in Damansara Heights or other parks in Kuala Lumpur. In addition, weekly group run sessions are organized on weekdays between modules [as mentioned in question 3].
Each module lasts for around 2 to 2.5 hours, and participants receive a logbook at the start of the program with specific advice on how to practice and integrate learning during personal practice between modules [recommended to practice three times a week].
Coaching cards are also given at the end of each module to support the personal practice, with a digital version provided for video conference programs.
Finally, regular WhatsApp interactions between modules are available to participants to ask questions and receive help in meeting their specific challenges.
There are several possible scenarios in case you are unavailable for a particular module:
- If many people can't make it on that day, we will reschedule the module to a date that works for everyone.
- We can organize a short video call [e.g. Zoom, Team, Meet,...] to go through the key slides of the theory with you. I can spend more time with you during the following group run of the next module or during the weekly run [if you are able to attend].
- If I happen to have another group having the same module at a close date, either in person or by video conference, you can join that session.
- If you prefer a one-on-one session for the missed module, we can arrange that on a convenient date. Please note that an additional fee will be charged on top of the normal group program fee for this option.
