When we're running hard or we get tired on a run, we tend to let our form slip which means we might also be expending unnecessary energy or risking injury. A quick body scan can help you reset, release any tension you may be holding onto, and get back to your efficient running form.

Use this meditation to practice scanning your body, breathing, and releasing tension so that you can easily do this on your next run and keep shattering your goals!

How often do you let the pace or time of your run tell you how you should feel? When we train for races there is a huge emphasis on distance, time, and pace (rightfully so) but there also needs to be a focus on efforts and paying attention to how we feel regardless of the other data.

Before you go out for your next run, listen to this meditation to strengthen your mind-body connection and pay attention to how you're feeling during your effort.

If I asked you to think back to a run or race where something didn't go as planned, you'd probably have a few come to mind immediately. No run or race is perfect, and we often face challenges that can easily get in the way of how we perform if we let them!

I just ran the Chicago marathon and the energy was unbelievable! I also didn't listen to any music during the 26 miles because the crowds were incredible and there was always something to listen to or look at. Using mindfulness, I was able to soak in every second of the race and truly enjoy it and I hope you get to experience something like that in your running journey soon!

Use this meditation to practice mindfulness and bring yourself to the present moment so you can soak in your run and absolutely shatter it.
