A GUIDE TO MINDFUL RUNNING WITH DISTRICT VISION
District Vision was founded in 2016 by Tom Daly and Max Vallot. Tom and Max met over fifteen years ago at university in London. They moved to New York and enjoyed the city to the fullest until a series of life-changing events caused them to discover running and meditation. Tom was born in Ascot, England and Max in Köln, Germany.
DISTRICT VISION researchES and developS tools for mindful athletes, creating products that are equally function-first and performance enhancing. THEY believe in a holistic approach to athleticism and the idea that mental wellbeing is the foundation of every form of physical exercise.
THEIR FIRST experiment was initiated in 2014 when we started testing sports eyewear technology with a group of downtown runners. Combining real-life feedback with Japanese engineering, the Keiichi running sunglass system was born – a proprietary solution for athletes, handmade in Japan.
As part of DISTRICT VISION’S holistic vision for the project THEY want to make meditation available to more runners and active souls in New York and beyond, through a series of talks and THEIR Mindful Athlete Program (MAP), working with leading teachers in both fields.
