  The journey through life came to a T-junction.
  This is your invitation to pry into the diary, be the other tourist on the train, a voyeur at the accident, an eavesdropper on the argument. 
  
  Two one-track minds merge with train-wreck results.
   
  The girl Graham Field left in England is not the one who
  arrives in India. Sofia sees the trip as her swansong before motherhood,
  impatient to exchange backpack for a baby sling.
   
  So begins the journey which is the: 
   
  Indian Itinerary of Endurance
  
    A cold snap makes for a chilly reception in Delhi
    First-class aggravation in Agra, tension at the Taj Mahal
    Backtrack to the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri, a brief respite from outstretched hands
    Non-stop to balmy Bombay and a runny bum
    Tunnel vision, reaching down a Goan sewer for the irretrievable
    Cross-country to Pondicherry, pondering decoupling
    Wrong side of the tracks in Madras
    Mind the gap year in Mahabalipuram
    Grave digging, scrotum flicking, a big bhang triggers a pointless train of
  thought in Konark
    Striking differences in Calcutta
    Teased in Darjeeling, limited Himalayan view
    Letting off steam walking into Nepal
    Curfew and confrontation, the relationship reaches the end of the line in Kathmandu

  Developing a strong connection with your equine companion is essential to the development of a positive and productive rider- horse relationship. We can't stress enough how important it is to earn your horse's respect, build trust, and communicate effectively with him. In addition, we will instruct you on the fundamentals of horse handling and grooming so that you may develop a stronger connection with these amazing creatures. 
  As you make progress, we will gradually teach you to the many methods of equestrian riding. You will be instructed on how to mount and dismount a horse in a delicate way, as well as how to ride with correct posture and balance. In this book, we will explore rein aids and teach you how to successfully communicate with your horse through the use of subtle clues. We will teach you how to securely control your horse's speed and movement by guiding you through the various gaits and transitions, with a particular emphasis on the walk, trot, canter, and gallop. 
  In addition to the fundamentals, we will instruct you on more advanced riding skills such as riding in circles and straight lines, as well as introducing you to lateral movements such as leg yield and shoulder-in. We briefly discuss the world of jumping and provide those who are interested a glance into the thrill and technique involved in this amazing activity and discipline.

  Pain & Performance - The...

  Ryan White, Matt Fitzgerald

  What if everything you know about pain is wrong? 
   
  For starters, pain is not synonymous with being “injured.” It’s also not evidence that your biomechanics are “flawed” or your body is “imbalanced.” And most important, pain doesn’t always mean you have to see a doctor. 
   
  In Pain & Performance, Ryan Whited and Matt Fitzgerald present a radically new way for athletes to understand and manage pain that exposes the shocking lack of evidence for modern medicine’s approach to pain and injury management. Based on many years of research and a greater appreciation of the complexity of pain as a lived experience, Whited’s revolutionary “Training as Treatment” method puts you in control of your pain experience as you build mental and physical resilience.  
   
  Learning this simple, three-step process will start you on a path to better performance and a more fulfilling athletic journey with less downtime, fewer visits to clinicians, less anxiety about pain and injury, and less time and money wasted on treatments that don’t work. 
   
  An elite boulderer and son of a chronically injured professional horse jockey, Whited brings a pragmatic approach to a complex process. As a trainer, he has spent decades guiding athletes from breakdowns to breakthroughs at Paragon Athletics, a magnet for pain-affected runners, climbers, and recreational athletes who’ve grown frustrated with the medical system. Pain & Performance makes Whited’s unparalleled knowledge of pain science and physiology available to anyone seeking to stay out of the doctor’s office and on track toward their goals. 
   
  "Training as Treatment is a fresh and innovative approach to understanding and working with pain rather than against it. By helping athletes face fear and reframe pain, Ryan Whited facilitates a shift in mindset that fosters a healthy, lifelong relationship to sport and performance.”—Rob Krar, coach and ultrarunning champion 
   
  This audiobook contains a supplemental PDF with a Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and a link to video demonstrations of exercises to get started on a Training as Treatment plan.
