Prepping Your Mind for Running Success
Your training schedule provides detailed information on how to get yourself physically prepared for race day, but what about the mental side? In this episode we talk with CES coach and clinical psychologist Dr. Kristina Pecora about ways to avoid mental traps associated with running and taking on big personal challenges. Coach Kristina talks about how to set S.M.A.R.T. goals, provides tools for dealing with emotions such as fear and doubt, managing disappointment, overcoming motivational blocks, and how you can use Mindfulness to empower your training journey. There is great info here for every athlete.
