The Running Ground

Nick Thompson

£22.00

How much does our speed and our decline depend on our minds, not our bodies? In this thought-provoking and inspiring book, top 25 Master marathoner Nick Thompson invites readers to defy the inevitable decline that comes with age. After setting the American record in the 50km for the 45-49 age group, Thompson is on a mission to explore how pain, endurance and talent exist in the mind of a runner. Inspired to run by his father as a young child, Nick Thompson began setting school records in high school and has never looked back since. This is the story of Thompson's ambition to break down the physiology of running and reveals how we can power through psychological barriers and get faster with age.
