About this listen

Written by a highly respected fitness journalist, Mindful Running offers an engaging and highly practical guide to how mindfulness can both optimise sporting performance and improve general health.

The benefits of mindfulness for general well-being have been discussed extensively, but little has been written about how mindfulness can be applied to running. In this book, leading health and fitness journalist Mackenzie L. Havey explores how combining mindfulness with running can not only improve sporting performance but can also enhance overall health. Through easy-to-understand explanations, Mindful Running reveals how runners can benefit from meditative practices and positive thinking and how the rhythmic breathing, physical effort and focus on training can aid mindfulness. This in turn can help prevent injuries, enhance personal bests and improve the runner's psychological strength and life balance.

Havey's grounded approach to the subject takes the user through a series of straightforward but effective exercises designed to increase self-awareness, develop concentration and improve endurance. With clear explanations of the physiological and psychological processes, supported by anecdotes and expert contributions from athletes, coaches and sport scientists, this book is an inspiring and invaluable guide for runners of all levels.

Interesting info... now to find the written copy

Having encountered concepts of mindfulness training through my workplace, the ideas in this book were not completely foreign to me. However, the author shares ideas about how mindfulness can be used in running and other areas of life that I had not considered before now. I would like to find a hard copy of this book - like almost all good books about training - so I can refer back to exercises and prompts mentioned in the chapters. Also, it may be a good idea to study up on the basics of mindfulness before consuming this book. A phrase that always got me was "without judgement" - what does that really mean and how am I supposed to do that!?!? I would get to pinderung and then have to rewind because I missed the next few minutes. And the way the reader said NCAA got to me... I like to hear N-C-double A.... not N-C-A-A 🤣 petty, but a fact!

Disapointing

The book has no new knowledge. I found it very disapointing and a waste of my credit.

Sorry, just can’t like this book!

It started out ok. Then it just went in to reference a free reference. I had to stop listening with more then 2 hours left in the book. I love the whole idea! I run and I meditate. Wanted to learn more about how to put it together. Research will have to continue elsewhere.
