Mental Training Skills - Episode 240

Mental skills are so important to train to assist us in our races, but often times we leave it out. Included in this episode are some things you can work on to help you in your daily runs/life.

 

My notes:

Mentally preparing for a race

 

• Goals A B C

• • Write them down and share them. Revisit them from time to time. Realistic?

• Extrinsic & Intrinsic Why’s

• • These are yours. You decide if you want to share depending on how personal. If strong enough, may want to share with crew & pacers
  • Revisit & revise (make them as strong as possible)

• Forseen obstacles

• • Think of troubles you’ve had in the past. How would you resolve them now. Give yourself multiple resolutions
  • Ask others what they have encountered. How did they resolve them? Would they do anything differently? How would you resolve them?
  • Watch videos & read race reports. What were the biggest challenges. How did they overcome them?

• Practice your Focus

• • Zoom in/out - what helps you zoom out? Music? Talking?

• • Staying present

• • Avoiding negative thoughts by acknowledging and letting go and asking what good does that thought do me?

• • Learn to ask what?

• • • What do I need right now?
    • What can I do to resolve this?

• • Chunking
• Triggers
