13.1 Running Mantras to help you through your next half marathon

When the going gets tough, the tough get self-talking. It's true. Being on top of your mental game is just as important as preparing physically for a race. And we all need a little positive self-talk to get us through the toughest miles.

Powerful Words

I've used mantras over and over again in races and they have helped me to some of my best performances. They are also extremely powerful outside of the running world, in our day to day lives. Repeating truths to ourselves can alter our internal narrative and change the way we think about ourselves and they way we perceive the world.
