Ep. 320 - The Most Toxic Thing You Can Do In Ultra Training
About this episode
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m too slow… too old… not cut out for this…” — this episode is going to hit close to home.
In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common (and most toxic) patterns I see in runners: negative self-talk that sabotages your training before you ever get to race day.
After reading through recent coaching applications, so many women are holding themselves back not because of their training…but because of the story they’re telling themselves about their abilities.
We’ll talk about:
- Why “talking shit to yourself” is more harmful than any missed workout
- How self-doubt shows up (and disguises itself) in your training
- The problem with fake hype, affirmations, and trying to “force confidence”
- How to shift your mindset in a way that actually feels believable
- Simple ways to reframe fear, failure, and lack of confidence into something useful
This episode is part mindset coaching, part reality check and it’s especially for anyone who feels like they’re doing the work physically…but getting in their own way mentally.
Because at the end of the day, you can’t expect to overcome a challenge if you’re the one creating it.
