Ep: 80: Flow State + Goal Setting for runners w/ Scott Goddard PHD

*Interview starts at 15:40*

It was an honour to be joined by sports and exercise psychologist, researcher and PhD Scott Goddard, who devotes his time into the studies of human performance, goal setting and flow state. Scott has contributed to research focusing on developing and evaluating intervention strategies to induce optimal psychological states in athletes.

We got to dive deep into the science of setting goals, why it's worth setting them and the relationship between setting a target and improving performance. We talk about process vs outcome and learn how our running experience or even personality type might influence the strategy we should select when reaching for a goal.

Scott shares with us about the Flow State, an elusive yet favourable human experience that appears to have a multitude of benefits and not just for performance. We learn about what the current research says about how we can access flow and what it might look like for different runners. Scott gives us some practical ideas on how we might include this into our training.

Today's episode was deeply insightful and left us excited to get out running to trial some flow state techniques and even re-adjust our 2023 goals. Scott was an absolute wealth of knowledge and we know you'll love learning from him.

As a runner tendon pain or tendinopathy can totally detail a race prep, ruin our running progress and leave us watching on the sidelines whilst our injury free friends and competition power on.

In any sport, injury is part and parcel, I believe set back give us opportunity to learn, grow and come back stronger. Whilst we can still approach injury with this curious mindset, knowing the basic principals around tendon pathophysiology, risk reduction and rehab can be totally life changing!

There's quite a few simple things we can implement into our daily and weekly running routine to run smarter, reduce our injury risk and over be a stronger performing runner.

This ep covers all things you need to know about tendons! What they are, why you should care about them as a runner and what to do if you think you have tendon pain. I cover basic rehab principals, run through some gym based exercise examples and things to pay attention to pre, intra and post run to assess your source of pain and potential stage of tendinopathy.

You're going to love this one and we can't wait to hear what you think!
