Marathon State of Mind

”If you‘re in, I‘m in”: Mind Over Matter for the Melbourne Marathon


Listen Later

Two weeks ago, Eloise and Rory decided to run the Melbourne Marathon. For Eloise this was two months post her debut at the London Marathon. For Rory, it was an unexpected first. This episode contains two seperate recordings. The first half was recorded on the day before the Marathon and provides insight into how Eloise and Rory were thinking about the challenge ahead. The second half was recorded the day after the marathon and provides real-time reflections on Eloise's eventful but successful day, and Rory's take, from the perspective of a mental skills coach living a day in the life of an elite athlete. 

Themes include:

  • Focusing on what you can control
  • Adjusting when things don't go to plan
  • Learning from challenges
  • How courage and vulnerability are two sides of the same coin
  • Self-talk when it's hard
  • Why Rory decided to nasal breathe during the marathon
  • Breathing to help with sleep and recovery
  • What's ahead for Eloise in 2022.
