EP. 65 - Mental Health & Training: How to Empower Your Life Through Running


Listen Later

We become fooled into believing that progress (and happiness) is linear - both in running and life. When you’re experiencing a ‘high’ or extended period of positivity, enjoy it, but understand that ‘low’ moments will follow. 


This week’s episode dives into the important, often overlooked aspects of mental health, specifically as they relate to running and following a big accomplishment. Our discussion centers around ideas, such as… 


  • Why we need to center our running around values (not results).
  • The importance of curiosity, community, and performance standards in your training.
  • How we fall into the unconscious desire for a feedback loop, where we rely more on the external rewards than the internal benefits - which are what got us started in the first place!

  • Why do you run? Our training should empower life, not hinder it. We hope that this episode provides you with the tools necessary to build a positive relationship with your training, racing, and performance goals.
