I Was Quoted in a Runner's World Article
If you’ve ever thought:
“What if I can’t hold this pace?”
“What if I’m not cut out for this?”
“What if I miss one run and lose everything?”
You’re not weak or broken. You’re anxious.
Recently @RunnersWorld reached out to me to ask about how anxiety shows up in everyday runners and the way repetitive negative thought loops can slowly shape your training, your pacing, and your confidence.

In this video, I wanted to expand on that conversation, break down the mental side of running that I feel seldom gets talked about and the practical guidance I give my athletes in my clinical practice. If you’ve been burning out, skipping runs after one missed workout, or feeling like your own head is your biggest obstacle, I hope this video can bring you some clarity.
Drop a comment with the mental struggle you deal with most in training. And I know this is a deviation from my normal coaching heavy content so please let me know if you want more videos on mental performance side of training.
Happy training!
