Don't let negative thoughts prevent you from reaching your running goals

Self Doubt is often founded in fear: fear of measuring up to others, other runners, what we see on social media. But mostly, I think it’s fear of not measuring up to our own idea of what it means to be a runner.

I’ve compiled 5 steps to help you Master Your Mind.

Another episode for your runner’s ‘tool belt’ to help you reduce your risk of injury and increase your joy of running physically and mentally. Today is all about the core and why understanding proper core engagement is so important. Before learning this I used to have achy hips ( not while running necessarily) but throughout the day especially in the morning. As a matter of fact at 40 I thought I needed hip replacements and I hadn’t even started running yet. My chiropractor and PT both said it was hip bursitis and we looked for stretches to help alleviate the pain but it never went away. That is until I learned how to level my pelvis and engage my core because it reduced the extraneous motion I was making when walking and running.

There’s a tendency in our society to value ‘no pain, no gain’ that we neglect to create a mind-body connection. Establishing a connection between our mind and body is the most rewarding thing we can do as an athlete (yes you and me) because as we listen to our body we can teach it new habits.

Run well, be well.

Welcome to episode 121 of MRM - the podcast that helps you run with more joy. In today's episode, I share a guest talk I did in a coaching colleague’s running community. The theme was 'Making Friends With Running,' a topic close to my heart. I discuss my intentional approach to running, treating it as an experiment, and the concept of 'giving more than you take from running.' Shifting your mindset from 'getting something' from running to 'giving to it' can lead to a more fulfilling running experience. If you want to enhance your relationship with running, email me for personalized recommendations.

Thanks for joining me today, and remember, it's not just about what you gain from running, but also what you give to it.

Run well, be well.
