There is a great new book in town by well-known athletics writer and ex collegiate runner; Make the Leap: Think Better, Train Better, Run Faster by Bryan Green.\u00a0 \u00a0With glowing reviews from stars of the sport, check it – for sale today at the Runner’s Tribe Shop.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"There are countless running books that give you training programs, workout templates, and conversion tables. Others are filled with heartwarming stories and philosophical quotes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not one of those books.<\/p>\n

This book focuses on the most important aspect of running that nobody seems to talk about: how to think about training. Everyday countless runners put in the work to get better and yet they unknowingly hold themselves back. It\u2019s not the workouts! It\u2019s our approach to them.<\/p>\n

I assume you\u2019ve got the physical part of training covered. I want to help you improve the mental part.\"\"<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mental Training Matters<\/b><\/h1>\n

This book is based on one simple premise: the better we think about our training, the better we will train.\u00a0Think better, train better.<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our brains are prediction factories, and our expectations are their outputs. We input raw materials: future goals, prior experiences, belief in our abilities, cognitive biases, enjoyment, doubt, responsibility, fear, motivation, and concentration. We turn the dial to some point in the future, the end of the season or next weekend\u2019s race. Then\u00a0whirrr<\/i>: out comes a shiny new expectation.<\/p>\n

We create expectations about literally everything: the weather, the food we eat, other people, the news, the latest films, and everything in between. We get some new info, turn the dial and\u00a0whirrr<\/i>\u00a0goes the factory.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0whirrr<\/i>\u00a0occurs in our training, too. We set expectations about what we will do, how it will feel, how important it is, what others will do, what our coaches think, what our coaches think we think. The minute you think about an aspect of your training, you\u2019ve already formed an expectation about it.<\/p>\n

So why does this matter?\u00a0Because our expectations set the ceiling for our achievement.<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our expectations guide how we train. How hard we work. How anxious, stressed, or excited we feel. How much we prepare. How much (and how) we analyze our performance. How we interpret success or failure and how we structure our days around our training program. Expectations influence everything.<\/p>\n

As dedicated runners, we put in countless hours of hard work. We can\u2019t let our expectations limit our potential. We need a mental framework that ensures our expectations are guiding us toward excellence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I will give you that mental framework……<\/p>\n

\u201cBryan Green was a great teammate to me at UCLA. He is a student of the sport both on and off the track. His education, experiences, observations, and insights will help get you to the next level. I highly recommend his book,\u00a0Make the Leap.\u201d<\/em>
