Ask any serious runner and they'll tell you that being mentally sound is
vital to success in the sport. The ability to enter a flow state of mind
is something that Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has devoted his entire
career to understanding.
In Running Flow, Dr. Csikszentmihalyi is joined by fellow psychologist
Christine Weinkauff and running journalist and coach Philip Latter. This
landmark work is the first book dedicated to helping runners achieve the
state of flow in competitive and training environments. You'll find
comprehensive coverage of the phenomenon, unique practice exercises that
stimulate its occurrence, and firsthand accounts from elite runners
about their flow experiences.
The psychological barriers associated with training and competition can
be as demanding as the physical ones. Destined to become a running
classic, Running Flow will open your mind not only to better
performance but also to a better, healthier, and more enjoyable
experience.
