Head Start

Running Within examines mental and spiritual facets of running, listing techniques such as visualization and affirmations that can help runners tap the power of the subconscious to achieve peak performances, accept set-backs, deal with injuries (me), and grow with the sport. I've cherry-picked snippets from this book and had good results. A systematic approach could be invaluable in rounding out a training or rehab program. Very much worth a read.
