Many of us start the New Year with the best of intensions but so often we fall at the first hurdle. The Do Be Run-It could be the answer you are looking for!

Do Be Run-It is an innovative and flexible personal development programme designed to strengthen the mindset and get you running. It is useful for runners of all abilities from novices to marathon veterans and is so easy to use. Preloaded with the latest cognitive training techniques, Do Be Run-It is an MP3 player which effectively talks you into the right frame of mind to get you started and, if already a runner, improve your performance.

Designed to give the runner more confidence and self-belief, Do Be Run-It will also develop determination and will power, help you recognise your emotions and control your mind state, set challenging, realistic long-term goals and build a desire to achieve them and gain focus with mental rehearsal techniques.

"So often we are forced into exercise by feelings of guilt and poor body confidence. These negative thoughts do not achieve long-term results which can only be brought about by a positive mental attitude.

The Do Be Run-It provides this and more. The results speak for themselves with many clients who have not previously exercised now participating in half and even full marathons. It literally will change your life for the better." - Stephen Reid - Co-Director

Can listening to music while you run improve your performance?
The governing body of running in the United States appears to think so. For 2007, USA Track & Field banned the use of portable audio players and headphones at sanctioned running events to prevent runners using the devices from having a competitive edge!
