I keep hearing about mental preparation and all those psychic stuff. Supposedly if you are mentally ready you can run faster or win the race. Personally, I think it is all a bunch of baloney. You have to rely on your muscles and your previous workouts. No visualization in the world can get you the 1. place if you dont work hard. What do you think?

No one is arguing had work, training and dedication. However, mental preparation is not a bunch of baloney. When a push comes to shove the difference between the winner and the loser may depend solely on mental readiness and strength. Provided that the competitors are in similar form and shape (otherwise they wouldnt be there in the first place, would they?). Everything you do happens first in your mind. If you visualize your race, your victory and keep that vision long enough it will reach your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is a very powerful thing and will lead you to take the right steps to the victory. Dont ever neglect this. Man is more than just a flesh and bones. All top athletes know that and all will say the same thing: they saw their victory in their mind long before it really happened. The one who knows how to use it is striving to the top. The sky is the limit.
