"The Wild Life"
A work in progress, La Vie Sauvage is a philosophically Francophile treatise on the good life.
Drawing on the wisdom of Nature, it explores how long-distance running can be turned into an adventure for the senses, fueling and invigorating not only mind, body and spirit but one's entire approach to life.
It is also a manual on performance and living life in the present moment, aligned with the power of Nature.
Move well, live well.
Nature and Sport. Two passions that are both predicated on precision and pleasure intertwine, offering a new approach to fulfillment in a world dominated by the banality of consumerism.
La Vie Sauvage is a celebration of exploration, creativity and discovery, values that are sustained by the path of simplicity - the way of the artisan devoted to craft. This same dynamic exists in running and the essence lies in the human qualities of character that can be cultivated by anyone.
C'est ça le truc…
JD Hixson, an internationally acclaimed and world-traveled classical musician in earlier chapters of life, always yearned to settle down and reconnect to an earthy life, drinking in fragrant air during long runs and working with Nature’s bounties to feed the soul during recovery. Based on the outskirts of Tokyo overlooking the bay, he has finally found his little corner of paradise, surrounded by hours of blissful running terrain and some of the finest grocers in the city.
As a performance consultant, he advocates integrating the latest data analytics technology with ancient modes of mindfulness practice to render perfect balance in the here and now.
