Two New Believe Training Journals Help Runners Chase Down Their Goals
Boulder, CO, USA – November 3, 2015 – Professional runners Lauren Fleshman and Roisin McGettigan-Dumas have released two new editions of their popular Believe Training Journal for runners. Their journal is much more than a running workout log; it’s a secret weapon for runners to set goals, see what works and what doesn’t, keep their heads in the game, stay honest when no one’s looking, and prove when the work’s been done. The new Believe Training Journals are now available in bookstores, running shops, and online. Learn more and see a preview of the new editions at www.velopress.com/believe.
Fleshman and McGettigan-Dumas created their first Believe I Am journal when they couldn’t find a workout log that inspired them to keep using it. The new Charcoal and Lavender editions are packed with new photographs, a fresh design, hand-written notes, practical advice, and the hard-earned secrets and lessons that Lauren and Ro have learned on the pro running circuit. Also new in these editions are Lauren’s killa core routine and Ro’s favorite post-run yoga poses.
With a smart, functional design, the Believe Training Journal guides runners through their season, helping set goals, plan training weeks, record daily workouts, and keep runners focused. The Journals include: an undated annual calendar, how to use a training log, how to set goals, how personality affects performance, how to design a training plan, a dozen key workouts, tips on fueling, a new way to think about body image, mental tips for competition, dealing with adversity, setting good mental habits, recovery strategies, reflecting on the past season, and creating positive running groups.
Runners will be amazed at where a year can take them with help from the new Believe Training Journals.
