The Full Time Run Coach Mindset

We know this.

We have coached athletes where they are executing.

They have the strategy.

They're doing the, they're doing the runs there.

You know, they have this goal, whatever it is to break four hours in the marathon.

And they're doing the long runs.

They're even doing pace work in their long runs.

They're fueling their strength training.

And it comes down to race day and they get in their head and they don't execute and they give up or they end up walking or something always happens and they don't hit their goal.

And we know as a coach that it is not their strategy.

We know because we're coaching them and we're giving them the strategy.

We know it's their mindset.

And it's this puzzle that we want to help them put together.

But ultimately, we can guide them.

We can push them.

We can encourage them.

We can help them undercover the roadblocks that they have, the mindset that they have, The best coaches know that the way that we help them get over or work through this roadblock and this mindset, so mindset blocks so that they can have that race that they deserve, that they've worked for that's in them.

We have to ask them the hard questions and we have to have them come up with these solutions themselves, which is why I teach the full-time run coach mindset as part of Run Arising Academy and why I have a similar component in my nutrition coaching.

And I use part of this in run coaching because...

Although we are certainly not going to be providing, you know, we're not licensed therapists.

We're not giving, if someone needs to be referred out to a therapist, it's not about that.

This is about helping people discover for themselves really what is holding them back and help them work towards overcoming it.

So we're going to go through that today.
