This article advances prior psychological inquiries by approaching Haruki Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running as a meditation on the convergence of mind and body. Through a layered, interdisciplinary lens drawing particularly on Lacanian psychoanalysis and contemporary health psychology, it examines how Murakami constructs the runner not merely as an athlete or writer, but as a liminal subject navigating thresholds of discipline, endurance, and becoming. Rather than stabilizing the dualism of psyche and soma, Murakami’s narrative pursues a recursive movement in which the distinction between interiority and exteriority i.e. mind and flesh is both affirmed and disintegrated. The runner’s labor becomes a metonym for the writer’s practice: a ritual of exhaustion that binds meaning to movement, authorship to action. The essay situates this process within broader cultural frameworks, illuminating subtle resonances between Japanese narrative restraint and the ineffable contours of Iranian mystical poetics. Ultimately, this study contends that running operates not simply as metaphor, but as an evental structure, a performative repetition through which Murakami fashions a provisional coherence of self. In its oscillation between solitude and relation, repetition and reinvention, the work discloses a poetics of corporeal time, a choreography of mind-body resonance where language catches its breath in motion.
