Andrew Bednarzik, Mental Performance Coach, Licensed Therapist, & Professor and I discuss negative self-talk and strategies to help reduce it and get through it when it happens. I also answer two listener questions about converting road paces to trail paces, as well as how long should your average run be. Lastly, I talk about my pivot from the cancelled Rim Runner 50-miler to the Bootlegger 50-miler since the course and strategies are pretty different. I hope you enjoy the Episode!
