18. From Doubt to Distance: How to Build Confidence in Running

In this episode of Your Running Coach with GMacSpurr, Coach G unpacks one of the most common thoughts that stop runners before they even begin: “There’s no way I can do this.” Whether you’re starting your running journey or chasing a big new distance goal, doubt will almost always show up and the bigger the dream, the louder it gets.Coach G explores the mental side of setting bold running goals, why your brain often equates “new” with “danger,” and how to start building trust in yourself from the very first step. She breaks down three major thought traps that hold runners back, explains what “failure” really means (and doesn’t mean), and shares actionable strategies to reframe your mindset, including how to build micro confidence along the way.With journal prompts to help you flip the script on negative thoughts, this episode will inspire you to chase the dream in your heart because if it’s there, it’s meant for you to go after.Links:- Join the Summer Consistency Reset {limited spots}- Re-write your running story with The Runner Identity Project (aka TRIP)- Curious about what coaching could do for you?
