    In my previous post on the Oprah discussion, I made note of how a big part of believing in our potential is related to our mentality.  Ironically, science supports my opinion as I came across this article today from the New York Times.  How do  your thoughts impact you during a run and what strategies do you use for making the most impact mentally?  Any new strategies you want to try?

    Well for some reason the link to your article isn't working. 

    Funny thing, I tend to run my best when something in my personal life is upseting me.  I usually think about it during the early parts of the run, I let myself get angry and run as hard as I can.  By the end of the run I feel much better about it.  I suppose that makes running theraputic for me. 

    Of course this isn't good for long runs or tempo runs when I am trying to keep a slow steady pace.  It is great for VO2max workouts and sprints though.

    Can you see the anger in my picture?  Wink

    Actually i quite agree with Duncan. For some reason my runs tend to go 'quicker'  and I get a better 'burn' when there are nagging issues to be sorted out. And when am finished, I tend to deal with the solution in a much calmer state of mind.

    Keep waddling!

    (my 2 cents worth)

    I did a quick search for the article and didn't find anything. Please post the proper title as I'd be interested in reading.

    Maybe this will work?

    Nope- My link didn't work either.

     Try  Googling NYTimes.com, Health/Fitness & Nutrition section for December 6, 2007- "Personal Best: I'm Not Really Running, I'm Not Really Running..."

    Interesting read.
