Think Like a Runner
Run faster. Run farther. Run better. Discover exactly what it is that makes you a runner and improve your running technique with this practical guide packed with friendly advice, anecdotes, tips, and more.
We all decide to run for different reasons, whether it's to lose weight, improve health, or deal with stress in everyday life. But what is it that keeps you motivated to run, train, and race day after day? Professional runner and running coach Jeff Horowitz aims to answer this question in Think Like a Runner.
When you're just past mile 22 of a marathon and looking down the barrel of four more miserable miles of running until you can finally cross the finish line, it's not the science that keeps you going; it's something mental. Alongside insights into the mental journey all runners take in starting and sticking with this sport, you'll discover practical tips to help improve your running, including:
- Establishing your running tribe
- Finding the running gear every runner needs
- Setting training and racing goals
- Recognising the onset of injuries
- Preparing your mind to get in the game
- Adjusting your relationship with running as you age
- And so much more
With Think Like a Runner, you'll realise that understanding the complexities of why we run will simply help you run better.
