3.0

This book had some interesting information on the "mental game" of running and offered some specific tips on conquering the psychological part of running challenges, like hills or "the wall." I appreciated the emphasis on doing things that help reinforce to your brain that you're a runner.

A quote I liked that I've found to be true:

"To run longer races like a marathon, it's all about enduring time ... for a 5K, it's all about enduring speed. The unique challenge of the 5K distance is that it's too short to be considered long distance and too long to be considered a sprint."
