Description
Running Within by Jerry Lynch and Warren Scott explores the mental side of running and endurance performance, arguing that physical training is only part of what enables athletes to perform at their best. Drawing on sports psychology and sports medicine, the authors focus on the connection between the body, mind and spirit and the role of mental preparation in overcoming challenges on race day.
The book provides practical techniques for developing mental toughness, concentration and confidence, including visualisation, breathing exercises and positive self-talk. It also addresses racing anxiety, pushing through fatigue, finding a state of flow and maintaining motivation during injury recovery. With its emphasis on the psychological aspects of training and competition, Running Within is aimed at runners looking to strengthen the mental skills that support endurance and performance.
