Unlocking your Mental Running potential with Sports Psychology Practitioner Ashley Eckermann

Building mental toughness is one of the best ways to improve your
running. Without any change in fitness, having good mental
strategies can help you to unlock a new level of performance.
This is the key to overcoming a setback or managing stressful
situations that all runners face like pre-race nerves or
balancing a hectic schedule.


Ashley Eckermann is a former competitive triathlete and a noted
psychology practitioner who teaches athletes of all abilities to
perform at their best without positive thinking. Studies show
that positive affirmations don’t actually work and this interview
is all about uncovering what does. You can actually train your
brain to perform better!


This is not a science lecture, and we’ll focus on going through
specific examples of how to apply these strategies in training
and racing. Some of the topics we’ll cover include:


What is mental resilience?

How do the pros think differently than the rest of us?

What is the best way to deal with a stressful situation in
training?

How can you apply strategies of mental resilience during
training and racing to improve your performance?



Ashley has helped numerous athletes to transform their thinking
and perform at a higher level. This is a fascinating conversation
that will literally change how you think.

TIMELINE


Improving your mitochondria is one of the easiest ways to upgrade
your performance and make your body work better. 


Time-line Nutrition's Mitopure is backed by over a decade of
research and is clinically proven to revitalize
mitochondria. 


Mitopure restores mitochondrial function, so every cell in your
body has the energy to do its job and keep you healthy and
functioning right. In fact, clinical studies have shown that
500mg of Urolithin, one of the main ingredients in Mitopure, can
significantly increase muscle strength & endurance with no
other change in lifestyle.


Improving your mitochondria is one of the best things you can do
for your health and with Mitopure from time-line nutrition, it
has never been easier.

UCAN


If you’re looking for a better energy gel that contains no sugar
and instead uses a revolutionary slow burning carbohydrate called
LIVESTEADY, then you should check out UCAN.


Independent, peer-reviewed studies have shown LIVESTEADY is
absorbed quickly through the stomach to reduce GI distress, yet
is released into the blood stream slowly to provide sustained
fueling without the spikes and crashes typically associated with
traditional gels. 


By avoiding the sugar spikes, UCAN can help be less reliant on
frequent feedings of sugar-based fuels during the run.


All this data means using UCAN can help you avoid hitting the
dreaded wall during the half, full and ultra marathon distance.

gels for FREE. All you pay is shipping. You can also save 20% on
your entire order at ucan.co with code RUNNERSCONNECT
