A glorious photographic record of the superhumans who have completed the Barkley Marathons, one of the most mythical running races on earth. It is a race like no other: There is no website to take entries; participants are selected from those who find a way to submit written applications and a $1.60 entry fee; only around 40 people are chosen to run, with condolences from the race director. The course, based in the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee, takes place amid unforgiving landscapes and harsh vegetation, often in horrendous conditions with poor visibility. Runners must complete five 20-mile loops - those who manage to complete only three laps are deemed to have achieved the 'fun run' - with a total elevation climb equal to two ascents of Mount Everest. Since 1986, only 15 people have ever finished. This exceptional publication celebrates their unbelievable achievements. Until relatively recently, the event was known only by true insiders, but with the increasing popularity of trail running and the race's inaccessibility to anyone except the participants and a handful of media, it has attained mythical status. Thanks to ultrarunning photographer Alexis Berg and L'Equipe journalist Aurelien Delfosse, we now have a record of these superhumans - many of whom are unknown in sporting circles - who have completed the race. Crisscrossing the United States to meet each finisher, Berg and Delfosse travelled from New Hampshire to Oregon via New Mexico, Colorado, California and Utah, capturing stunning photographs and in-depth interviews with the finishers. These stories inspire awe, respect and reflection at the limit of the human spirit.

I Stillhetens råskap får du innsikt i hva mindfulness-trening er, og hvordan denne treningen kan hjelpe deg til å prestere bedre. Mindfulness gir deg råskapen og styrken som skal til for å ha muligheten til å stå støtt i kaotiske eller ubehagelige situasjoner. Mindfulness gir deg kjennskap til hvem du er bak tankene og følelsene, og gir deg dermed et rom i stillhet der du kan føle det fullstendig trygg. Mindfulness gir deg muligheten til å basere valgene dine på noe mer enn bare impulser, lyst, ønsker, frykt eller tro. Du bruker mindre energi på det du ikke kan gjøre noe med, mer energi på her og nå, på livskvalitet og prestasjon. Mindfulness er oppmerksomt nærvær, eller som forfatteren sier: du er bevisst til stede uten å dømme. Boka gir alt du trenger for å sette i gang med mindfulness-trening. Du får også tilgang til unike lydfiler med guidede øvelser (QR-koder). Fokus på hvordan mindfulness kan tilføre styrke, robusthet og prestasjonsevne langt utover det andre kjente metodikker kan. *Utgangspunkt i nye forskningsresultater på mindfulness, forfatter har praktisk erfaring.*Forfatteren gir eksempler fra toppidrett og Forsvaret og gir innblikk i hvordan vi «vanlige» mennesker kan lære av deres erfaring.*Skrevet enkelt og med god driv av en ung forfatter som forsker på resultater av mindfulness-trening blant prestasjonsutøvere.

As the 1970s took hold, a new generation of larger-than-life footballers and managers came to dominate the sport, appearing on television sets in vivid technicolour for the first time.Set against a backdrop of three-day weeks, strikes, political unrest, freezing winters and glam rock, Get It On tells the intriguing inside story of how commercialism, innovation, racism and hooliganism rocked the national game in the 1970s. Charting the emergence of Brian Clough, Bob Paisley and Kevin Keegan, and the fall of George Best, Alf Ramsey and Don Revie, this fascinating footballing fiesta traces the highs and lows of an evolutionary and revolutionary era for the beautiful game.Jon Spurling has been interviewing footballers for twenty-five years, including legends George Best and Jack Charlton, European Cup-winning captains Emlyn Hughes and John McGovern and pioneering black footballers Cyrille Regis and Brendon Batson. Get It On presents these heroes of the era in their unvarnished and uncompromising glory and explores how the 1970s was the most groundbreaking decade in English football history.

How to improve your game and discover your true potential by increasing your concentration, willpower and confidence Every golfer, whether amateur or pro, who has ever picked up a club knows what it's like to get the yips - that feeling when you inexplicably lose control of your shot, and become overwhelmed by self-doubt, tension, fear of failure and anxiety. With a new introduction from golf performance pro Peter Hudson, the multi-million bestselling The Inner Game of Golf resolves this mental interference. It is not a book about how to play golf; it is a book about how to learn golf, and its lessons can be applied to any sport. Putting aside the mechanics of golfing technique and laborious debates about strategy, this classic handbook for golfers of all levels tackles the psychological aspects of the game and reveals how you can perform to your true potential for more than brief moments at a time. Using only his Inner Game principles, without taking a single lesson and playing only once a week, Timothy Gallwey knocked 15 strokes off his game in a year. There is no physical reason why you can't hit perfect drives or sink long putts more consistently. By applying the Inner Game approach to your own game, you too can see phenomenal improvements to your scorecard.
