Question about Running Fast
Apr 3, 2023 07:14:12 #
I heard about this phenomenon several times years ago, but I haven't been able to find anything about it lately. Here's the situation.
Someone is running really fast - not holding back at all, flat out. It's like he told his brain to move those legs as fast as possible. In a situation like that, the legs are moving very fast, but the brain isn't aware of what's going on down there. The person knows he's running very fast, but it's like he's a passenger on a fast-moving vehicle.
Does that sound like anything you've heard before?

No. I used to be a runner and the times I ran as fast as I could I was aware of what I was doing. Or did I misunderstand the question?

I used to run fast, too. In this situation, though, it's like the body is running on auto-pilot. I wish I could find one of those articles I read, but it's not easy Googling that topic.

It has happened before, but it's rare.

Be careful about references to "down there". The post will be sent to The Attic.

Then try using Yahoo or DuckDuck Go
