Mind Over Miles: Staying Motivated on Long Runs

Send us a text

In this episode we dive into the mental marathon of long-distance running. Whether you're training for a half-marathon, marathon, or ultramarathon, maintaining mental motivation is just as crucial as physical preparation. We'll explore effective strategies to keep your mind engaged and motivated mile after mile. We also dive into the "Bannister Effect", and discuss how breaking the four-minute mile not only shattered physical barriers but also transformed the mindset of runners worldwide, proving the power of belief in achieving the seemingly impossible. Whether you're hitting a wall at mile 20 or just struggling to lace up for a morning run, this episode is your mental toolkit for pushing through and redefining your limit.
