This year I have two half marathons on deck, and as my first approaches I have noticed that I am very in my head. This book was super helpful with tangible ways to improve mental focus for running.
Need running mojo? #3wordbookreview
Every now and then my enthusiasm for running wanes. Rather than give up, and lose the hard won fitness I've gained, I read a book about running and that usually motivates me to keep going.
There wasn't a lot that was new in here, but good to learn some tricks for the brain. I especially liked reading the stories included about elite runners. Nice to know they struggle at times too!

If you like running and you like psychology, then this is a good book. If you're looking for great tips to make you a better runner, I'd just skim it. The parts about goal setting and visualization were the best.
Not as much science as I would have liked, but good none-the-less. Clearly written, chatty in tone, a set of exercises for learning how to strengthen your runner's brain. Probably the most useful take-away for me came towards the very end: learn to reframe your thoughts about what it means to be successful.
Some things were super basic but I ultimately found myself taking notes on the templates in the back.
