Crying on a Street Corner? Get In Here - A Pep Talk for When Running Feels Impossible
Manage episode 496451112 series 2138998
Having a mental breakdown during training? You're not alone, and you're definitely not weak. In this episode, we're creating a safe space for every runner who's ever wanted to quit mid-run, whether you're training for your first 5K or chasing a Boston qualifier.
We're not here to toxic-positivity our way through your struggle – we're here to acknowledge it, validate it, and give you real tools to work through it. From immediate reset strategies to building long-term mental resilience, this is your roadmap for turning your hardest running moments into your strongest.
Topics covered:
- Permission to feel without judgment
- Right-now triage for mental breakdowns
- Building your confidence bank account
- The body-mind connection (fuel, hydration, and emotions)
- Developing anti-fragile runner identity
- Tools for your mental toolbelt
Remember: asking for help is strength, and every step forward counts – even the messy ones.
