Running with your Mind, Body and Spirit

The mental side of racing and training is often neglected.

The old adage, “Running is 90% mental and the rest is physical” still gets bantered around but there is little substance to make it useful in everyday training.

Whether an elite or novice, there comes a time in the race that your body hurts and says it can’t go on, and that’s when your mind must take over.

Are you prepared for this moment?

Running is often said to be used as therapy or to clear your mind. So, what if you took this to the next level and applied it to your training and racing in a systemized way that actually supports you as a whole person?

This week, on the Running on Carbs Podcast, Coach Val shares her takeaways from the book, “Running Within: A guide to mastering the body-mind-spirit connection for ultimate training and racing”, by Jerry Lynch and Warren Scott. She shares her personal perspective on what she’s broken down into a framework of 4 pillars of mindful, spiritual running.
