In this episode of Your Running Coach with GMacSpurr, Coach G dives into the power of visualization in running and why it’s more than just motivational fluff. Visualization taps into your brain chemistry, helping you mentally prepare and physically perform at your best. But here’s the catch: most runners are visualizing the wrong things.

Coach G explains the right and wrong ways to visualize the finish line, and why it can’t only be about race day glory, you need to focus on the details of the entire experience. She guides you through a practice visualization of the start line, showing how using your senses, creating mental “movie clips” of your future run, or even writing yourself a note can rewire your brain for success.

Along the way, she shares her own story of training for her first marathon and the role visualization played in her journey. With practical strategies and reflective journal prompts, this episode gives you the tools to add visualization into your training and get one step closer to crossing your own finish line.
