I read the issues in 89, so my mind is rusty on it. Probably shouldn't have even mentioned it. Oh well, what I do remember is you run around a stationary object (such as a pole), keeping your attention on the pole. The purpose of running around it is to suck out negative energy and put it into the pole. Something like that. It is supposed to free up attention units. The EP I saw was like "What the ..... What does that have to do with anything??" Something about communication.
I think its all day, not 5 hours per day. It's a full time rundown, until you are Ep'ed. I could be wrong on that though.
Sorry I dont remember more. My memory can likely be jogged though.
Maybe this will help. From my archive at

When I worked at New World Corps, in 1986 I read a few pilot issues on
the Running Program (the name later became the "Cause Resurgence
Rundown", I believe). From what I recall, the whole rundown is about
the physical handling of a long-ago implant. The handling involves
moving the body around in a circle about a central point, like a pole.
The "running track" is supposed to be exactly 200 feet in diameter.
It is not important if the person move the body under his own steam or
if it is pushed in a wheelchair. The implant has to do with handling
of energy in the MEST universe.
And there was one issue about taking minerals, mentioning that
minerals were very important in the biochemical communications in the
endocrine system, and possibly minerals were more important than
vitamins to the body.
My comments re the above:
After listening to the "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" tape, and remembering
that issue above, I've been taking liquid colloidal minerals pretty
much daily since leaving the SO, and notice the difference if I stop
taking them.
I never did the RD. I spoke to one person I remember who had done it,
[David Flood, who I had known at SH in the 70s and early 80s]
5 hours daily running for a couple of months, and he said he found it
beneficial. But I wouldn't have expected him to say it was a load of
crap if he had found it so.
Also, I once trained for a marathon about 20 years ago, and I felt
really great with the increased physical fitness from running several
miles around East Grinstead each evening. The physical benefits of
that carried over to mental benefits too.
It would be interesting to test out that issue on the RD by having a
mechanical device like a Merry-Go-Round, with seats at the stated 100
feet from a pole in the center, and then see what results come from
solely the five hours a day of going around in a circle without
simultaneously exercising one's physical body to any extent. I don't
recall anything in the issues on what one was supposed to think about,
so whether or not it would be OK to chat with others or watch TV even,
I don't know.
But I can't imagine Flag public paying $5,000 or some such, when they
finally get the SP building open for business, to spend five hours a
day sitting on a carousel watching TV!
