Get Your Mind Right As You
Prepare For The Next Running Event
Participating in a marathon should be a
rewarding experience that pushes your mind
and body to safe limits. However, lost in the
training plans and distance covered is the
mental aspect that drives most athletes.
Running a marathon, for example, is a
mental challenge that requires focus,
patience, resilience and control.
As LTG Mary Legere knows,
taking care of the mind is just
as important as the physical
exercises you undertake.
Mental Attitude
It’s your inner attitude that determines how you
approach and tackle challenges. What you tell
yourself at any moment will determine how you
feel come race day. If your inner voice is negative
and full of anxiety, you are going to have a hard
time. As early in the preparation period as you
can, start feeding positive thoughts and
encouragement in your mind. Repeat words and
phrases that show how confident, relaxed and
calm you are about the race.
Visualize Success
Visualizing yourself finishing the race is helpful
to some extent. While it gives you the
confidence that you can perform up to
standards, what you want to visualize is you
doing the actual things that help you cross the
finish line. It’s more like rehearsing the race in
your head and seeing yourself do the right
things.
Set Goals
Once you embark on a run, don’t go too far
ahead. Rather than think of the 26.2 miles
ahead, set small goals that help you tackle the
challenge. Small goals like the next mile
marker or the trees in the distance help you
focus as you run.
LTG Mary Legere is an avid
runner and fitness
enthusiast. She has
competed in 15 marathons,
and is currently looking
forward to competing in
another this year, while
preparing to challenge
herself for a half Iron Man
next year.
