* '''The world moving past'''. Stillness in Motion often includes the illusion that you are stationary and the world is flowing past you, rather than the other way around.
* '''Breathing'''. Your breathing should not be forced or desperate, even if you are running hard. In a finishing kick or high intensity intervals, your breathing may be insufficient to meet the oxygen demands of running and you may slip into 'oxygen debt'. In those situations, forcing your breathing tends to make matters worse as the breathing muscles start to consume the limited supply of oxygen while the increased breathing rate does little to improve the oxygen delivery, which is constrained by other things than your lungs. At slower paces, breathing should be effortless and calm.
* '''Riding'''. Stillness in Motion is somewhat like riding a horse. You are focused on the current moment in time, fully aware of how well you are performing, but at the same time, you are also isolated from the actual feelings.
