One week before my first ultra-marathon. I eagerly turned the pages and found it a compelling read. It completely captured my attention, as I'm sure it will yours. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe information and knowledge, and the application of it, is first class. Being a fast reader I read it three times in as many days. I checked the contents, studied the steps, researched the reference material, and became a vastly better runner - just through the knowledge from the book alone. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the real magic happened. I started to put into practice the steps in the book. I practiced dropping myself in and out of self-hypnosis using Adam's methods. It was easy to achieve. I just followed his clear steps. From here I started to work through the book, one step at a time, carrying out all the self-hypnosis applications he lists. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy final loosening run, two days before my race, was one of my best runs ever. It just 'happened' that way. I didn't need to consciously think, I was just in a perfect state of 'flow'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The night before my Ultra-marathon I slept in my truck in a small village nestled amongst the Brecon Beacons. The huskies snuggled in against my sleeping bag to keep me warm and I dropped into self-hypnosis one last time. I mentally rehearsed every part of the run. I went through the pre-race preparation, the terrain, and how I would easily get through every worst case situation I could think of. I mentally planned for every eventuality. I rehearsed my physical state throughout the race. I rehearsed my mental state, ensuring that I always maintained a smile especially for the tougher sections. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was not stepping into the unknown. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI had made it known. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e ............... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am an Ultra-Runner. I love the sound of that. I feel even better about it when I consider the terrain that I had covered. The Brecon Beacons are used for UK 22 Regiment SAS training for a good reason - the environment is tough! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI ran 42 miles across those mountains. This is the type of event where if your mind is not right you would not finish. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuckily, thanks to carefully preparing and using the guidance of this book, I not only finished, I enjoyed every single step along the way - as could you by applying the knowledge in this amazing book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Awake Media Productions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45495005642903,"sku":"9780957566705","price":2073.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780957566705.webp?v=1767445646","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hypnosis-for-running-training-your-mind-to-maximise-your-running-performance-9780957566705","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
