This work combines practical advice for improving running technique - something every runner can benefit from - with psychological principles for improving competitive performance. It shows runners how to improve their stride mechanics and focus their minds during training and racing so that they can reach their potential. The guide also provides a practical blueprint for preparing for competition, addressing the physical, mental, emotional, social, logistical, environmental and technical demands of racing.

Thomas S. Miller is a recognized expert in performance enhancement for endurance sports, both in mechanics and motivation. A veteran of more than 100 marathons, he holds a doctorate in exercise and sport science with an emphasis in performance psychology. He writes articles for several top publications, including Runner's World. Miller has coached such notable athletes as five-time world triathlon champion Joann Garrucio; masters world cycling stage race champion Dirk Cowley; world blind marathon champion Harry Cordellos; the U.S. Disabled Cross Country Ski Team; and John Cahill, who at age 73 ran a marathon in 3:05. A self-described "blue-collar coach," Miller says he most enjoys coaching "real people" who have full-time jobs, families, and responsibilities. A former member of the United States Marine Corps, Miller received silver and bronze stars for his combat heroism and leadership as a platoon leader in Viet Nam. He now owns RiTeKnologies and teaches at the University of Phoenix. Miller resides in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he enjoys running, cycling, rowing, and Nordic skiing.
