Another Mother Runner

How Runners Can Manage Anxiety


Listen Later

Runners bothered by pre-race jitters and/or everyday anxiety will appreciate the insight and advice offered in this episode. The guest is Lennie Waite, Ph.D., a Houston-based sport psychology consultant, Olympic steeplechase athlete, and mother runner. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Britany Williams, the trio talks about: 

-looking at your goals through a more positive lens; 

-embracing, rather than simply managing, race-day anxiety;

-the power of leaning into doubt + pain; 

-how (+ why) to stop the joy-sucking comparison game; and,

-getting your “ugly face” on! 

 

In the intro chitchat, the hosts swap stories about their heavy sweating, including how it makes Britany feel empowered! The guest joins at about 14:22. Shop for our badass Tifosi sunglasses here.
