Train Your Brain for Endurance: How to Get Out of Your Own Way, with Addie Bracy

We’re joined by professional trail runner and sports psychologist Addie Bracy for a masterclass on the psychology of endurance. Addie bridges the gap between pro athlete and mental performance expert, offering tactical advice for runners of all levels.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Mental Anchors: How to build a psychological anchor to keep you grounded when the race gets tough.

• Intentional Training: Why you need to train your brain just as deliberately as you train your body.

• The Mind-Body Link: The deep resonance between your physical state and your mental state (and how to use it to your advantage).

• Practical Mantras: The real-world application of "run the mile you're in" and strategies to "get out of your own way."

• Fueling for the Mind: A crucial look at how your nutrition and hydration strategy directly impacts your focus, mood, and resilience.
