Manage episode 516197430 series 2835108
Resilience isn’t something you’re born with — it’s something you build through motion, repetition, and reflection. 💥
In this episode of the InnerFight Endurance Podcast, Rob Jones and Dan Bagley unpack the science and practice behind mental toughness and refocusing under pressure. Whether you’re pushing through a long run, preparing for a race, or navigating life’s daily challenges, this conversation offers a clear playbook for staying composed, confident, and in control.
They break down the Four Pillars of Mental Toughness — Challenge, Confidence, Commitment, and Control — and explore how each one shapes your ability to handle setbacks, build self-belief, and follow through on your goals.
