Running Strong: Running and Strength Training Tips for Everyday Athletes

How to Improve Your Mental Game - ESR 33

Listen Later

"Ultras are 90% mental and the other 10% is in your head." Most of us have heard some version of that statement - and for good reason - the mental game is a HUGE factor in reaching your ultra goals. That's why, this week, I'm talking about how you can improve your mental game.

Notes:

  • The mental game and self-sabotage
  • Mental toughness vs. resilience
  • How lifting weights helps anxiety
  • Self talk - What to say to yourself when you run
  • Planning - How to plan effectively
  • Focusing on the good first and then FIXING the bad
  • Connecting with your why
  • The power of your brain
  • The importance of positivity
  • Resilience is a skill
  • Misery is not the goal
  • "Regulatory Anticipation"
  • A good use of distractions
