Train Your Brain for Endurance: How to Get Out of Your Own Way, with Addie Bracy

We’re joined by professional trail runner and sports psychologist Addie Bracy for a masterclass on the psychology of endurance. Addie bridges the gap between pro athlete and mental performance expert, offering tactical advice for runners of all levels.

In this conversation, we explore:

Mental Anchors: How to build a psychological anchor to keep you grounded when the race gets tough.

Intentional Training: Why you need to train your brain just as deliberately as you train your body.

The Mind-Body Link: The deep resonance between your physical state and your mental state (and how to use it to your advantage).

Practical Mantras: The real-world application of "run the mile you're in" and strategies to "get out of your own way."

Fueling for the Mind: A crucial look at how your nutrition and hydration strategy directly impacts your focus, mood, and resilience.

If you’ve ever battled the voice in your head telling you to quit, this episode is your new training plan.
