Deena Kastor was a star youth runner with tremendous promise, yet her career almost ended after college, when her competitive methodâ??run as hard as possible, for fear of losingâ??fostered a frustration and negativity and brought her to the brink of burnout. On the verge of quitting, she took a chance and moved to the high altitudes of Alamosa, Colorado, where legendary coach Joe Vigil had started the first professional distance-running team. There she encountered the idea that would transform her running career: the notion that changing her thinkingâ??shaping her mind to be more encouraging, kind, and resilientâ??could make her faster than sheâ??d ever imagined possible. Building a mind so strong would take years of effort and discipline, but it would propel Kastor to the pinnacle of runningâ??to American records in every distance from the 5K to the marathonâ??and to the accomplishment of earning Americaâ??s first Olympic medal in the marathon in twenty years.

If you like positive thinking and listening to people's progress in running - then I highly recommend this book. It's a lot of fun, and motivated me in both work mindset, and to get out there and run more. Sign of a good running book!
The writing is enjoyable and pacey, and I appreciate taking more care about describing elements of wonder in trail running.
The beginning few chapters are a little slower, as they capture the perspective of a child discovering competitive running - which I didn't enjoy as much as the rest of the book. So if you feel the same way at the beginning, do please keep on reading. ( )
I have struggled with my anxiety and depression while running. I've read multiple books on changing your mindset and being more positive but Let Your Mind Run has some how unlocked my mind. For some reason I really connected to Deena Kastor and have been putting what she talks about into practice.
I would recommend this book to anyone, not just runners. It is her memoir but it seems so much more than that, almost like a roadmap for others to follow. I often found myself having to stop reading because I was so emotionally drawn into her story. I had tears of joy when she had a victory and sadness with a setback. I felt like I was with her the entire time. ( )
Let Your Mind Run is a fascinating intimate look inside the mind of an elite athlete, a remarkable story of achievement, and an insightful primer on how the small steps of cultivating positivity can give anyone a competitive edge. Available bookand eaudio .
As a non-runner (cyclist) I still loved this book. Her message of positive thinking is something than any athlete can appreciate and take to heart. I, at first, thought I'm gonna hate this book as she talks about her natural talent when she began running as a kid. I have no natural talent and could not relate but the tone of the books quickly changes as she realizes that her talent will only get her so far. This book was written without ego and was very relocatable to athletes of all abilities. We may not all be competing at the level she does but how she sets her thinking is something that anyone can use. ( )

"That's the amazing thing about the mind," Coach said, "once you develop a mental level of expectation, it stays with you."
Something magical happens when you take control of your thoughts. You realize you are your own creation. Moment to moment, who do you want to be?
Dr. Brower told us the mind doesn't distinguish between fact and fiction. What the mind sees and thinks, the body feels, and what the body feels, the mind, or at least the subconscious, learns.
Here's something I learned about the mind: It forgets.
Someone draped an American flag over my shoulders. Its weight felt like being draped in the accumulation of years of learning and all the people who had taught me. There was Bill, sending the team to play in the mountains. Lance keeping faith in my ability even when I'd lost my own. There was Coach, reminding me to bring a good attitude, to get tough, to focus on building the person. I felt Terrence's calm wisdom. Andrew's love and devotion. My dad's bottomless support, my mom's constant attention, and my sister's pride. Every teammate and competitor who had pushed me, and every fan who'd cheered. Each mountain, road, and blade of grass that had inspired me. I was the sum of everyone and everything that had built me.
The next day as we toured the city as a family, I thought about the power of a single positive choice, how it is the first step into the story we want to create, the outcome we desire. I thought about how every decision that follows builds and expands and accumulates. And yet it comes back to the microdecisions we make in any given moment, when we can go in one direction or the other. How on some days, like the eagle run, the positive path is harder to find and we have to be relentless in its pursuit. But a better outlook is always there and well worth chasing. On the other side are potential and possibility.
But once I started viewing these decisions as choices rather than sacrifices, the emotional tug-of-war ended. Taking charge of my decisions made me feel empowered and more committed to my goal.
The first step with any emotion—worry, fear, doubt, disappointment—is to give yourself permission to feel it. Denying an emotion buries it in the body and mind, and it will inevitably rear up later in some dramatic fashion. When you feel a negative emotion, pause and take a few deep breaths. Name and acknowledge the emotion, which helps normalize it and reduce its intensity and power.
