Today, I have the honor of hosting Dr. Michelle Kerulis on the show to discuss all things psychology and running! Dr. Kerulis is a Sports Psychologist certified through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP), a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), an associate professor at Northwestern University, and one of the leaders of the Psyching Team! The Psyching Team was developed to help runners thrive, psychologically, during races and training. Listen to this episode to hear more! Further, Dr. Kerulis discusses topics related to what drives people to run, how to conquer tough races, what to do if you feel "stuck," and even where to start if you want to become a sport psychologist!
