In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we chat with an RRCA coach who is also a strength and mindset coach about one of my favorite topics—mindset. We explore how mindset for marathoners goes beyond just thoughts; it’s a much deeper concept built on three pillars: belief, identity, and attitude. We dive into actionable strategies like practicing gratitude by asking what’s going well and celebrating small wins before tackling challenges. The conversation reveals how understanding where your thoughts come from can shape how your brain processes them for self-preservation. Belief is key, but identity is often the hardest to change—it's not about dismissing your old self, but upgrading it. Attitude then naturally aligns as belief and identity come together. We also discuss proactive tips runners can use during a race to stay mentally strong and focused. This episode is packed with practical advice to help you master your mental game on race day!
