Running Within

Steven Ovadia

Pretty good. Not very deep, but a lot of spread. It's a solid overview of just about every mental aspect of running. Lynch and Scott cover psychology, religion, mysticism, fatigue, and anything else you can think of. They even touch on some physiology, although not for any extended periods.

But to be fair, no topic is explored with particular rigour or depth. Still, the book is a nice survey of a bunch of different ideas (although without many references or book recommendations).

Despite all that, it's a pretty helpful to start to the mental aspects of running.
