Imagine if you could talk yourself and think yourself into better running times and stronger performances as well as healing injury quickly. After much reading and research, it is my firm belief that the next lot of improvements in times and performances will come from those that are effectively able to harness the power of their own minds.
It is a common fact that we all only use single digit percentages of our brains to perform daily tasks and even the really smart only make about 9% usage. What then of the other parts of the brain that are dormant. Are they destined to remain as such for the rest of our days, or is there a way for us to be able to unlock and activate them in order to drive an even further increase in athletic performance.
In my own opinion, we are indeed coming to the end of what we as humans can produce on mere physicality alone. We must be prepared to embrace these alternate ways of harnessing the mind in order to produce improved results.
There is a myriad of publications out there in the market that claim to be able to help us as runners and athletes, it is not easy finding those publications or techniques that suit us and our personalities, but I encourage you to not let this side of things lapse. Be prepared to experiment as you would with training plans. To some it may be a long shot, but just think at what you would achieve if you are able to tap into this unknown side of the brain.
