Today We Die a Little!: The Inimitable Emil Zátopek, the Greatest Olympic Runner of All Time
Today We Die a Little!: The Inimitable Emil Zátopek, the Greatest Olympic Runner of All Time
For a decade after the Second World War, Emil Zátopek—“the Czech locomotive”—redefined the sport of distance running, pushing back the frontiers of what was considered possible. He won five Olympic medals, set eighteen world records, and went undefeated in the 10,000-metre race for six years. His dominance has never been equaled.
In the darkest days of the Cold War, he stood for a spirit of generous friendship that transcended nationality and politics. Zátopek was an energetic supporter of the Prague Spring in 1968, championing “socialism with a human face” in Czechoslovakia. But for this he paid a high price. After the uprising was crushed by Soviet tanks, the hardline Communists had their revenge. Zátopek was expelled from the army, stripped of his role in national sport, and condemned to years of hard and degrading manual labor.
Based on extensive research in the Czech Republic, interviews with people across the world who knew him, and unprecedented cooperation from his widow, fellow Olympian Dana Zátopková, journalist Richard Askwith’s book breathes new life into the man and the myth, uncovering a glorious age of athletics and an epoch-defining time in world history.

We run when we’re scared

“We run when we’re scared, we run when we’re ecstatic, we run away from our problems and run around for a good time.” ― Christopher McDougall
“Corremos quando estamos com medo, corremos quando estamos em êxtase, fugimos de nossos problemas e corremos por um bom tempo.” – Christopher McDougall
O Cérebro do Maratonista: Estratégias motivacionais para você correr a melhor maratona da sua vida
O Cérebro do Maratonista: Estratégias motivacionais para você correr a melhor maratona da sua vida
Sabemos que completar uma maratona requer, além da preparação física para suportar os 42.195 m, uma preparação mental visando garantir um estado psicológico forte e motivado para suportar a carga pesada de treinos e vencer as barreiras mentais que limitam a performance no dia da prova, de modo a ter, ao final da maratona, uma experiência transformadora de hábitos, de emoções e de vida.
É nesse contexto que O Cérebro do Maratonista apresenta, de maneira sucinta e clara, algumas técnicas de motivação para aplicação durante a fase de treinamento e a realização de uma maratona. Espero que atletas profissionais e amadores, amantes da corrida de rua, que decidiram correr a sua primeira ou vigésima maratona, possam se beneficiar das experiências aqui compartilhadas de modo a correr a melhor maratona das suas vidas.
Ao longo deste livro serão apresentadas algumas técnicas para uma mudança de mindset, ou estado mental, colocando o cérebro do atleta num estado de foco jamais experimentado. Aspectos como fatores que determinam o sucesso de um maratonista, o drama mental da fase pré-competitiva, estratégias mentais durante a realização da prova e como abordar e superar fatores sabotadores do desempenho que estão, ou não, sob o nosso controle são abordados de uma maneira simples e positiva para que você possa estar na sua melhor forma física e mental para o grande dia.
