Synopsis

"Marathon Mindset Tools" revolutionizes distance running training by addressing the crucial psychological aspects that can influence up to 40% of race-day performance. This comprehensive guide uniquely bridges the gap between physical and mental conditioning, presenting a research-backed approach that integrates sports psychology with traditional training methods.

 
Through a blend of cutting-edge sports science and practical techniques, the book demonstrates how mental resilience and physical capabilities must develop in tandem for optimal marathon performance. The book progresses logically through three main sections, beginning with fundamental running mechanics and physiological principles, including VO2 max development and proper form. It then delves into specific mental conditioning techniques such as visualization and mindfulness practices tailored for endurance athletes.

 
The final section synthesizes these elements into actionable training plans and race-day strategies, supported by case studies from professional runners and data from elite training centers. What sets this guide apart is its multidisciplinary approach, combining insights from sports psychology, exercise physiology, and stress management. Rather than treating physical and mental training as separate components, it presents an integrated methodology backed by research from prestigious institutions like the University of Colorado's Running Laboratory.

 
For serious amateur runners and coaches who have hit plateaus with traditional training methods, the book offers practical tools, including detailed training logs and mental preparation checklists, to help systematically implement these evidence-based principles into their training routines.

Afloat: Small Boats Swell and...

David Gange

'Prose that is precise and beautiful as northern light … this book is an absolute delight' MOYA CANNON
Join David Gange on a seabound journey along Atlantic coasts and islands, exploring places and ways of life that have been built on small rowed or paddled boats.
These small boats outnumber decked ships by at least fifty to one. Yet almost all history writing is about big boats. This is a strange misrepresentation of maritime history that this book seeks to put right. From Ireland and Shetland to the Faroes and across to Greenland, Newfoundland, the US and the Caribbean, Árdras is the story of eight journeys in search of ocean-going rowed and paddled boats.
Gange, an award-winning historian, joins community pilgrimages to tiny islands on their saints’ days, and races and regattas that express revivals of commitment to local boats and the community ideals they sustained. Along the way he encounters whales, sharks and icebergs – as well as journeys beneath skies filled, from horizon to horizon, with tens of thousands of seabirds.
Small traditional boats fulfil roles in their communities unlike any other supposedly inanimate things. Often treated as living members of the family, with minds and lives of their own, they’ve been essential to many cultures’ ways of living with the seascapes that surround them. This gorgeous and lyrical book offers not only a journey into the past, but a vision of how these ways of life might inform our futures.
With the sweep of historical non-fiction and the cadence of literary travel writing, these expeditions map geography through sailing, recreation, and close attention to nature in the north, west and south. The themes and discoveries carry from the indies to the Americas, making a compelling case—despite any criticism—that this is the best kind of maritime history: grounded in real subjects and communities.
For fans of Kapka Kassabova (Border), Rebecca Solnit (EMBRACE FEARLESSLY THE BURNING WORLD), Alice Loxton (UPROAR!), Robert Macfarlane (Underland), and Chloe Dalton (Raising Hare).

Ashforth's Curiosities of...

David Ashforth

A sport based on one animal sitting on top of another and trying (usually) to be the first pair to reach a wooden stick is a curiosity in itself. So it's no surprise that horseracing is full of curiosities.


The curiosities in this collection have been chosen to arouse interest. They are stories of those curious creatures – people, and of horses.


The curiosities are arranged in themes so that the reader can dip in and out, as the mood takes them. The collection should leave them with a benevolent view of an intriguing sport, if they didn't already have one.  

Owners, jockeys, the horses, racecourses, officials, prizes, trainers and staff, racing journalists, betting, bookmakers, punters, skulduggery – one of Britain's best loved racing journalists David Ashforth has found the stories to capture the readers attention on all these topics and more.
