In this powerful episode, mental health advocate and runner Tony Rossi helps us confront the most challenging obstacle in running: our own minds. We dive deep into the psychology of performance, providing runners with practical, real-time tools to silence the inner critic and transform self-doubt into genuine mental strength. You will learn about:

• Identify Your Inner Critic: Recognize the common negative "scripts" your mind uses during a tough run and distinguish between genuine physical fatigue and mental resistance.

• Interrupt Negative Thinking (The Intervention): Get actionable, real-time tools for reframing thoughts—including how to build personalized, non-cheesy mantras and use evidence-based self-talk to push through the hardest miles.

• Build Long-Term Mental Resilience: Understand how practicing discomfort, focusing on process goals, and embracing acceptance can train your mind just like your body to achieve consistent self-belief.
