SoCal's Funnest Running Community
Running Psychology - Improve Your Performance
The website for Runner's World UK has a piece on Running Psychology - Improve Your Performance. They have been asked to find hundreds of runners for a new research project into psychological states while running. I thought it sounded interesting so signed up and then thought other Sole Runners and SoCalRunning.com members might be interested too.
If you want to take part in the research project you'll need to register by Friday November 6. The Runner's World piece has a link to a questionnaire asking for basic information about you and your running behavior (takes about 15 minutes). Next you will be asked to pick a run where you intend to perform at your best. It should be a run that you have done before and know well as they want you to run this exact session twice - once at the start of the study and once at the end (two weeks later). Both times you run, you'll be asked to set a goal that you wish to achieve.
After completing the registration questionnaire and completing your first run, they will give you a set of instructions on how to use a particular mental strategy while running. You will then be asked to practice this strategy each time you go running for the next two weeks.
At the end of the two weeks, you will be asked to repeat the same run as you did at the start of the study and complete a second questionnaire.
