MINDSET

You dedicate hours to training your body, improving your endurance, and increasing strength. You obsess over gear choices and take steps to be as dialed in as possible. You optimize nutrition and recovery. Yet, despite your dedication you may be neglecting one of the most important aspects of being an athlete: Your Mind.

This 3 session program (add-on to 1:1 run coaching) is designed to educate you on evidence based practices for optimizing your mental game. Each session will include lessons and guided practice to take into your weekly training. The course builds from base building strategies to race day execution strategies (including understanding and managing the Taper Tantrums). There will be plenty of opportunity for team based discussion and to ask your individual questions.

Session 1: The Human Element / Foundational Skills
Session 2: High Performance Mindset Training
Session 3: Executing When it Counts

There is a lot of talk about sports psychology in endurance sports, but very little actionable advice. This program is designed to teach best practices and give our athletes the latest science backed evidence, while also bridging ways to incorporate these skills into their training and racing schedule.

This series is taught by Dr. Justin Ross, a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in human performance psychology. You can learn more about him here.
