Misogi means \\u201cpurification\\u201d in Japanese. It is a ritual that dates back to eighth-century Japan. It traditionally involved making the pilgrimage to an icy waterfall, symbolizing intense purification. Dr. Markus Elliot explains that \\u201cMisogi is not about physical accomplishment. It asks, \\u2018What are you mentally and spiritually willing to put yourself through to be a better human?"
In this episode, we are joined by frequent TRN guest and friend, elite runner and coach Adam Kimble to talk about how the Misogi approach might help us create new and rewarding adventures for trail runners.\\xa0
