Without a strong mindset, even the best training may fall short on race day. His upcoming course, Mental Skills for Marathon Runners, explores key topics such as setting motivating goals, understanding the purpose of training sessions, planning a long-term running career, developing race confidence, and mastering race visualization. By focusing on these mental strategies, runners can build resilience, trust their preparation, and approach races with confidence and composure.
