Welcome back to Marathon State of Mind! In this episode, Eloise and Rory recap the 2025 TCS Sydney Marathon, and share thoughts on how to work through the emotions that can follow a big event.

Running Sydney Marathon tomorrow, take a moment to dial in your Marathon State of Mind.

Welcome to our Run Your Mind Series. These bite-sized mental skills sessions are designed to help you have your best possible running experience.

In this session you will be guided through a body scan method that Eloise uses when running. For best results, we recommend tuning in before (or during) a run, so that you can road-test this strategy in real-time.

This conversation was originally recorded and released in 2021 in the days following Jess Fox's Gold and Bronze medal performances at the Tokyo Olympics (note the discussion of COVID quarantine). Fast-forward three years and Jess is the flagbearer for the Australian Olympic team in Paris, ready to express herself on the Olympic stage once again. We thought there no better way than to get into the Olympic spirit than by revisiting this inspiring conversation with the one and only, Jess Fox.

Jess is the most successful individual slalom canoeist of all time, competing in the C1, K1 and extreme slalom events. Jess’ mindset is truly world class. She’s a fierce competitor and thrives on challenges, but brings real joy and humanity to the process. In this conversation, Jess unpacks how she has learned to use her mind to bounce back from disappointments, rise to the occasion and continually improve as she explores her potential.

Welcome to our Run Your Mind Series. These bite-sized mental skills sessions are designed to help you have your best possible running experience.

In this session you will be guided through a practice for bringing CALM to your inner-critic. For best results, we recommend tuning in before (or during) a run, so that you can road-test this strategy in real-time.

What do you do when things don't work out?

Welcome to this episode where we reflect on Eloise's journey towards qualifying for and ultimately missing out on selection for the Paris Olympics. Eloise shares how she has processed this and what the marathon has taught her about herself thus far. We hope that Eloise's insights help you to stay optimistic and continue working on mastering the inner game even when things don't work out they way you hope.
