Do you know anyone who could help with undoing such a strong oath?

Running with the Whole Body applies Feldenkrais Method (gentle attentive movement to get better kinesthesia) to running. In particular, I think it would help you coordinate breathing with exertion.

I haven't worked through the whole book, but it's the reason I have arches-- I did that chapter a couple or three times, and it taught me the connection between my hips and my arches.

It's conceivable that better quality movement would mean that useful exercise would no longer be connected to what you had in mind when you made that oath.
