#130 – In this episode, I share my journey with positive self talk and its impact on running performance. After being called out for negative self-talk during a training session, I researched how our internal dialogue can significantly affect our racing outcomes. I shared my experience from a recent 5K race where positive self-talk helped him achieve a personal best despite challenging weather conditions.

Through personal experience and research, I break down practical strategies for developing and maintaining positive self-talk during training and races. Whether you're dealing with difficult weather conditions, challenging terrain, or self-doubt, these actionable tips will help you harness the power of positive self-talk to enhance your running performance and achieve your goals.

Topics Covered:

  • Staying present-focused and preventing negative thoughts
  • Methods to reframe negative self-talk into positive statements
  • Using milestones and past wins to build running confidence
  • Building a weatherproof mindset for challenging conditions
