EP121: The importance of self talk in training and racing with Steve Langdon

In this episode of Better with Running Podcast, Zacca and Chriso talk through a few workouts. Chris starts to get his mojo back hitting a solid session of 1min on and offs and then backs up with a strong Sunday run which included a threshold. Zacca hits the ‘donut’ and gets back on the red stuff for a few sets of 400m reps, a pace change gets the wheels turning and then heads down to gods country with his mate Josh Papa to join Run2PB Coaches Matt Davy, Gemma and Ollie for a run and pub session.

Around the grounds features a sub 40min 10km on the Track in Melbourne and a massive marathon P.B over in Texas, USA.

Special guest Steve ‘Kiwi’ Langdon who has a background in Sports Psychology comes back on the podcast to tackle the importance of self talk and the benefits of using “ You” vs “I” in training and racing. We hear about ways you can work on this aspect in your running, with some practical advice.
