“Great book Bob. This book deals with the hardest part of distance running...between the ears. Excellent for the high school coach who needs that little bit of information to inspire a younger runner in small enough pieces that it just might sink in. It should also be good for the older runners who are struggling to keep going or to have a break through race or season.
