DESCRIPTION:
Galloway provides a series of mental training methods which can bring body, mind, and spirit into a powerful team. This book describes the source of problems, how to diffuse them, with methods that can keep one motivated. Generations of exercisers and athletes have struggled with the motivation to get out the door, to continue on tough days, or to push through the final barrier of discomfort to the long awaited goal. Many runners have applied these methods to work through other low motivation challenges at work, in the family and in other areas of life.. Each major area of low motivation is noted with proven ways of overcoming the problems. The unconscious process of stress build-up often sends body and mind on separate missions
Galloway is the designer of the walk-run, low mileage marathon training program (Galloway RUNWALK- RUN method) with an over 98% success rate. About the Author Jeff Galloway is the author of the best-selling running book in North America: "Galloway's Book on Running" and is a Runner's World columnist, as well as an inspirational speaker for more than 200 running and fitness sessions each year. . He has worked with over 300,000 people in training for specific goals and Galloway's quest for an injury-free marathon training program led him to develop group training programs in 1978
"Not for me." according to Nicole F.. I might have had high expectations based on the book's title but wasn't very happy with the content. I did like the issue-specific mantras section, but found Galloway's writing style a bit pitchy (like repeatedly selling products he endorses or cross-selling his other training manuals) and not as fluid to read (like John Bingham's books) nor as profound (like Dr. George Sheehan). The format appeared too slick for me to take it seriously as a read but might suit others who want to just read information in small chunks and implement the techniques without loosing their place in the book.. Neen James Communications said Reading this great book, Mental Training for Runners. Reading this great book, Mental Training for Runners, written by Jeff Galloway was insightful, informative and intimidating! As a new runner I found this book valuable (although often promoting his others) his advice is applicable for anyone wanting to understand the brain and body connection with motivation.Some of my favorite parts of the book include:Glossary of mind body elements – Galloway explains how the mind, brain, reflex brain, frontal lobe, left and right brain receptors, peptides, TMS (Tension myositis syndrome), growth mode and protection mode all work. I was fascinated by the mind – brain – gut relationship . Good book Overall this was a great book. As mentioned in some of the other reviews it does mention a lot of products. I found most of the information on staying motivated for running to be good and informative. I would advise reading one of his other books of run-walk-run method if you are unfamiliar with the Galloway method.
