Could you have pushed harder during your last race?

How many times have you finished a race and thought “I could have
pushed harder”? If you’re anything like me, then this likely
happens to you quite often.


But, one thing I learned from interviewing some of the best
runners in the world is that you can actually train your mind,
just like your body, to overcome your brain telling you to slow
down and learn how to better push your physical limits.


To help you learn how to do this, I’ve brought on one of our
favorite guests, Matt Fitzgerald. He’s going to teach you…


The science of inhibitory control and the benefits of
practicing inhibitory control

How to deal with your thoughts during a long endurance race

How to unlock neuroplasticity for better performance

Perception of effort and how it affects physical & mental
capacity



If you’re tired of finishing races like you could have pushed
yourself harder, this is a must listen!

runners and athletes to help them optimize their sleep and

Their sleep quiz pairs you with the perfect pillow for you based
