The Unfinished Race: Redefining the Recovery Process

The Unfinished Race - Redefining the Recovery Process details Kylene Cochrane’s struggles with physical injury as a competitive athlete, and the “mental injury” she suffered as a result. 

Her positive and bubbly personality shine through in this vivid retelling of her time as a collegiate runner told from a female athlete’s perspective. This book sheds light on runners and the need to shift the focus of the running world toward seeing the “holistic athlete” — a viewpoint that considers the mental and physical health of athletes. With a holistic identity, there is a stronger focus on starting the race, rather than finishing it. 

This touching memoir holds many life lessons and tools for athletes of any gender who have faced injury and spent time on the bench instead of the field. The Unfinished Race is for anyone who needs hope while injured or strategies for finding new ways to connect with themselves while dealing with a sports injury.
