Running - The Science and Art of Running

Cooper Barton

Sinopse

Running is more than just putting one foot in front of the other at a faster pace. It is a complex interplay of biomechanics, physiology, psychology, and culture. It is a pursuit that spans continents and centuries, from the endurance hunters of our ancient ancestors to the elite athletes of today's ultramarathons.

But running is not just a science—it is an art. It is an expression of the human spirit, a celebration of movement, and a connection to the world around us. It is a canvas upon which we paint our goals, our fears, and our triumphs.

In this book, we will delve into the science behind running: the mechanics of stride, the physiology of endurance, and the psychology of performance. We will explore the latest research and practical insights to help you optimize your training, prevent injury, and achieve your running goals.

But we will also celebrate the artistry of running: the beauty of a sunrise run, the camaraderie of a group workout, and the satisfaction of pushing past your limits. We will share stories of inspiration and perseverance, reminding you that running is not just about crossing the finish line, but about the journey along the way.

James Allen

In 1902, self-taught British philosopher and author James Allen published this inspirational essay based on the Bible verse "As a Man thinketh in his heart, so is he."

Allen preached the importance of people taking responsibility for themselves and their actions as well as using determination to improve the mind. 
The most frequently quoted lines from the book include: "Men do not attract what they want, but what they are" and "A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts."
