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.
