On the topic of the meditative aspects of running; I think that's why these dudes are doing...

Chouinard's catalog one year had an essay by Doug Robinson I think on the virtues of downhill running on talus. It always seemed too high consequence for my tastes.
Have not read essay (would really like to) but .... running downhill on scree; that makes sense. Running downhill on slopes containing scree-ish material approaching the scree - talus interface; sure, why not, you only live once. Running downhill on legit talus (settled or not); mostly no fun and just plain ol' dumb. What an efficient way to f*ck yourself up.
Warren Witherell, from 1972, on a very similar topic (begins with "Consider running..." halfway down page 17). Witherell was amazing, you should know about him if you don't.

What led you this conclusion? I'm not seeing it. Uphill running, whether on dirt or concrete, would provide better physiologic base for ski-related activity.

Class V kayaking...creek or big water is how I used to go into flow state. There’s a 15 mile run north of here you could lose yourself for 3-4 hours on.
The problem it’s not something you can just do once in awhile and I’ve grown away from it. I’d like to say I could commit to getting back into it but I won’t. It would be nice to find something like that feeling that you could do sporadically.
Sporadically?
religiously
Brutah, speaking from experience?
Brandine: Now Cletus, if I catch you with pig lipstick on your collar one more time you ain't gonna be allowed to sleep in the barn no more!
Cletus: Duly noted.
Warren is a legend around these parts.
I discovered this training technique on my own back in the day (20's). Running down the rocky trails of Mt Pisgah, Burke, and Bald Mtns really helped with coordination and staying light on my feet. If you did it correctly it was less impact than you would think. I felt like I was gliding down the mtns. Now that I'm older and my fast twitch isn't quite so fast, it is harder to run down smoothly in the more technical areas without beating on the knees.
Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.
