<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>By following a scripted training plan, runners ignore their sense of feel, which is the most powerful training tool a runner can use. This work emphasizes that athletes listen to their bodies in order to both run faster and enjoy their training.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Most serious runners never realize their potential. The reason is simple: most runners are unable to run by feel. <BR> Scripted training plans hold runners back because metrics and formulas do all of the thinking for them. Runners become trained to ignore their sense of feel, which is the most powerful training tool a runner can use. By stripping away the math and gadgetry that has controlled modern training, RUN: The Mind-Body Method of Running by Feel will help runners break out into faster, more enjoyable training and racing. <BR> While running by feel can sound like a rejection of science, the mind-body method is rooted in major advances made in neurological research. New science has found that, even at the point of exhaustion, the body is holding back a reserve. The brain senses fatigue and prevents the body from overexertion. A runner's experience, training, and motivation determines how much of their reserve they can wield during a race. <BR> RUN teaches readers how to listen to their bodies so they can access more of their body's capability. Bestselling endurance sports author Matt Fitzgerald reveals how elite runners and world record holders have begun to rebel against traditional training to adopt the run-by-feel philosophy. <BR> RUN shows committed runners how to implement the mind-body method and discover a better and more fulfilling way to run. <BR><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><P>Your body knows how to run faster. But are you listening? The best elite runners have learned that the key to faster running is to hear what your body is telling you. <BR> Drawing on the latest research on endurance sports, best-selling author Matt Fitzgerald explores the practices of elite runners to explain why their techniques can be effective for you. "RUN" will help you reach your full potential by employing the same techniques to train in the most personalized way. <BR> Fitzgerald's mind-body method will revolutionized your training, redefine your limits, and extend your running potential. With "RUN," you can find the optimal balance of intensity and enjoyment, volume and recovery, repetition and variation. As the miles add up, you will become increasingly confident that you are doing the right training on the right day, from one season to the next. <BR>"RUN" marks the start of a better way to train. The culmination of science and personal experience, the mind-body method of running by feel will lead you to faster, more enjoyable running.<BR> <P>Your body knows how to run faster.

The ability to run by feel is a learned skill and without the capacity to self assess and adjust your training intuitively, you will inevitably fall short of your potential." -- Alan Culpepper, 2000 & 2004 U.S. Olympian, sub 4-minute miler, sub 2:10 marathoner<P>"ASICS was onto something when it chose its new name, a Latin abbreviation for 'a sound mind in a sound body.' This philosophy is the key to unlocking all the potential we hold. From my first race in junior high gym class to competing in the 2008 Olympic Marathon, I have found that the stronger my mind and spirit are, the further I am able to push myself.
