Although I am primarily a bodybuilding type of athlete, I recently got on a running binge in which I would run between 5-7 miles 5-6 times a week. I learned that motivation came along with music and supplement pills, but this piece of literature really helped my motivation as well. Any runner knows there are times that limit your performance on the track because of emotional stress or physical limitations. This book helps keep everything in perspective because it teaches you to pace yourself while running, but also while going through life. Much more than just an exercise motivator, very helpful book.
