The psychological training of the marathon
The book addresses psychological preparation for the marathon, a dimension often overlooked in favor of running, physiological, nutritional, and biomechanical aspects. Although it is widely acknowledged that the mind plays a crucial role—especially in the last 12 kilometers—many runners and coaches lack a systematic method to develop it, relying instead on intuitive or motivational advice. The work debunks the myth that physical suffering automatically strengthens the mind and criticizes the lack of concrete tools in classical literature. It proposes a scientific approach, integrating Neuroscience, Psychoanalysis, Sport Psychology, and the experiences of professional athletes, to train skills such as resilience, pain management, focus, motivation, psychological endurance, anxiety control, and other mental factors that influence marathon performance. It includes a 16-week program with scientifically validated techniques (visualization, mindfulness, mental training journals, present-moment training, and others). It demonstrates that it is not enough to merely mention psychological aspects; it is essential to show how they can be trained.
