Bill Morgan calls it an '<i>enculturalization</i>", a key and formative part of any training, a part that is more <i>myth</i> than physical musculature reality:<br /> <blockquote><cite class="blog-source">No matter how high you jump, how fast you run or swim, how powerfully you row, you can do better. But sometimes your mind gets in the way. "All maximum performances are actually pseudo-maximum performances ... You are always capable of doing more than you are doing".<br/><br /> [cyclist Gina] Kolata recounts how this applies even to the everyday struggles of training: "I concentrated on my cadence, counting pedal strokes, thinking of nothing else. It worked. Now I know why. Dr. Morgan, who has worked with hundreds of subelite marathon runners, said every one had a dissociation strategy."</cite><br /> <i class="blog-source">[ <a href="http://neuroanthropology.wordpress.com/2008/03/16/im-not-really-running-flow-dissociation-and-expertise/">I'm Not Really Running</a> ]</i></p></blockquote> http://blog.teledyn.com/node/2557#comments there are verses about this Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:32:17 -0400 mrG 2557 at http://blog.teledyn.com
