Brendan Cournane

Overcoming the ‘Stopping Wish’ in a Marathon by Brendan Cournane as published in Windy City Sports – October 2008.

Running a marathon is 90% mental. The other half is physical.

The original quote is from philosopher Yogi Berra on hitting a baseball, but a paraphrase is appropriate in running a marathon. In every endurance event, just about all participants will encounter that little voice on his or her shoulder planting seeds of doubt whether they can finish the event. But that little voice can be silenced with planning and training.

MARATHON TRAINING FOR THE WISCONSIN MARATHON AND OTHER SPRING MARATHONS AND HALF MARATHONS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON.

COACH BRENDAN IS AVAILABLE FOR CONSULTATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS FOR ATHLETES TRAINING FOR HALF AND FULL MARATHONS IN SPRING AND EARLY SUMMER 2012. CLICK HERE TO CONTACT ME.
