There's no other book like this. Longtime running writer Scott Douglas marshals expert advice (including his own, cultivated from more than 100,000 miles of personal experience), and a growing body of scientific research to show how running can make us happier. How? Everyone knows that running builds stronger muscles and a healthier heart; science now shows it also helps develop a healthier brain. For those struggling with depression and anxiety, a consistent running routine can enhance the mental-health benefits of talk therapy, antidepressants, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Deena Kastor was a star youth runner with tremendous promise, yet her career almost ended after college, when her competitive method - run as hard as possible, for fear of losing - fostered a frustration and negativity and brought her to the brink of burnout. On the verge of quitting, she took a chance and moved to the high altitudes of Alamosa, Colorado, where legendary coach Joe Vigil had started the first professional distance-running team. There she encountered the idea that would transform her running career: the notion that changing her thinking - shaping her mind to be more encouraging, kind, and resilient - could make her faster than she’d ever imagined possible.

Beginner Book

This is a great beginner book. Unfortunately, I have no idea how someone of his ability put that FSU created Gatorade? Are you kidding me! Wrong school, wrong city, wrong mascot, WRONG WRONG WRONG, how did this get thru everyone? Amby stated he was even involved with the testing of the creation of the product.
THEN, he said dont listen to music while running. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I only listen to audible while running, I guess I should not of purchased the book--delete.....
