Being mentally fit is one of the fundamental prerequisites for athletic success - this is confirmed by every runner who takes their sport seriously. Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has been researching the human ability to enter a flow state for many years, which allows athletes to effortlessly surpass themselves and achieve peak performance. In "Running in Flow," Csikszentmihalyi explores this topic together with psychologist Christine Weinkauff Duranso and running journalist and coach Philip Latter. It is the first book that fully addresses how runners can enter the flow state during competition and training. The authors illuminate the phenomenon of "flow" in all its facets, provide unique practical exercises that stimulate the occurrence of flow, and quote elite runners who share their firsthand experiences.
