If you've ever tried to run with the mind of meditation only to give up because your pesky thoughts kept following you or if you've wanted to become a stronger, faster, more injury-resistant runner, The Conscious Runner is for you.
The Conscious Runner is the culmination of over 20 years of competitive running and life experience put together to help you become the best runner that you can be and feel GOOD while doing it. Runs go by more quickly, discomfort becomes more tolerable, injury more avoidable and an inexplicable sense of well-being pervades!
Here's what other's are saying:
"This is a great book for runners trying to be more present and in the here and now. As in any other activity in life, it is of great benefit to ourselves, our work, and those we encounter, to be fully engaged in each step, each moment, and be in the present moment. In other words to really show up for the activity, you have to strengthen that muscle of presence and mindfulness.
Lisa provides you with the tools, as well as the insights and personal stories to get you to let go of the “tyranny of thought”, and emotions, that can mess up your run, and be more fully present. I really enjoyed the book, and will use it as a reference for years to come."~Sicco Rood
"This is an excellent book. This book is written by an experienced runner. Being a long-distance runner will make us face our mind and all our thoughts. It will impact both our performance and enjoyment of the experience. Top performance requires more than physical training. You must combine the body and the mind in the training program. The book includes a comprehensive program covering the mind, the body and putting it all together. It is structured in lessons. It is very well written and formatted." ~ Michel Dion
"This book is not just for runners! It's for every fitness enthusiast who have experienced the zone and want to repeat that experience on demand. If you've ever ran into "the wall" and want to go over it, this book is the book for you! As an avid crossfitter, I've used the tips and tricks in this book to help me enjoy the running part of the game. And similar to running, there are days when WODs are grinders. The I've channeled the lessons I learned in this book to help me get through those grinding WODs." ~ Shenna Tolentino-Uon
