Advanced Endurance Coaching

Your introduction to Emotional Freedom Technique known as EFT. But let me first share my story standing at last years local marathon. Knowing full and well: I am not fully fit, and I have not done enough miles in the last few weeks to even be close to this start line. And this means… start line, great vibes, sunshine, my local track would could go wrong… then the announcer hands the microphone to a german athlete I forgot who it was, wasnt a runner but I think a olympian basketball or something like aht. And suddenly his words hit me: Today it will be a long hot and tough race: but I know you have all prepared for it thoroughly. 

Well I am honest enough to admit I was taken aback. Actually I was getting a bit upset. If I could have slipped out of the crowd I would have (joking). Not the best state of mind to be in correct? Well this is where I introduce EFT.

"Tim Noakes: Lore of Running" is a fantastic guide for anyone interested in running. It's a treasure trove of knowledge, presented in a way that makes it accessible to everyone.

You don't need another. Especially listening to this show regularly you have figured that part out already. That reason behind being healthy, fit, slim, or just being a runner, or a parkrunner or a marathoner (that does sound cool) is the key to mastering self-control and developing a resilient mindset. Your journey making this connection starts with science and lead to practical strategies for everyday life.

Exploring open waters presents an exhilarating yet challenging experience that plays with the mind. The vastness, unpredictable conditions, and absence of pool boundaries can induce a sense of unease.

If you find yourself apprehensive about diving into open water for a swim, rest assured, you're not alone. Todays show aims to provide you with practical tips and psychological strategies to overcome any anxiety associated with open water swimming.

Each open water swim introduces its own set of unique fears, such as fear of deep waters, chilly temperatures, limited visibility, encounters with marine life, concerns about algae-induced sickness, and the anxiety of not completing the swim.
