    Great article. I have several books that talk about the same thing. Running is really more about the mind than the body. If we are not mentally prepared, then our bodies will not cooperate. Knowing how to focus and direct your thinking can make or break a goal. It takes practice, that's for sure! Thanks for posting!

    Hi, Danielle! Glad you found it interesting as well. Yes, I would definitely agree that running is mostly about our mental state and how we approach the run before, during and afterwards. Happy running!
