Ultra Mindset: Building Resilience for Big Miles with Coach Lucy Wooldridge đź§
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week Jon and Amie are joined by Master Mindset and Resilience Coach Lucy Wooldridge to explore the mental side of endurance sport.
They talk about creating an “ultra-ego”, a powerful running identity you can tap into when things get tough, and how this can help you access confidence, resilience and belief during big races.
The conversation dives into what resilience really means (spoiler: it’s not just pushing through), practical ways to reset your nervous system when things start to spiral mid-race, and why your “why” can be both a powerful motivator and a potential source of pressure.
If you’ve ever wondered how to stay calm, adaptable and mentally strong when races get tough, this episode is full of practical ideas you can try, both in training and on race day.
