223. Marathon Mindset – Belief, Identity, and Attitude

In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we chat with an RRCA coach who is also a strength and mindset coach about one of my favorite topics—mindset. We explore how mindset for marathoners goes beyond just thoughts; it’s a much deeper concept built onthree pillars: belief, identity, and attitude. We dive into actionable strategies like practicing gratitude by asking what’s going well and celebrating small wins before tackling challenges. The conversation reveals howunderstanding where your thoughts come from can shape how your brain processes them for self-preservation. Belief is key, but identity is often the hardest to change—it's not about dismissing your old self, but upgrading it. Attitude then naturally aligns as belief and identity come together. We also discuss proactive tips runners can use during a race to stay mentally strong and focused. This episode is packed with practical advice to help you master your mental game on race day! Links to Whitney’sbusiness Transcend Health And Wellness:Website- http://transcendhealthandwellness.com/homeIG- https://www.instagram.com/train.with.transcendMaster Your Mindset Series- https://www.instagram.com/p/C--fJ4pxv8r/?img_index=1    Registration Link: https://buy.stripe.com/fZe4ha1IXewf9gY000 We are now on YOUTUBE:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast TIFOSI OPTICS: Use our 20%off code “MRP20” or use this link: https://tifosioptics.com/discount/MRP20  RUNUR athletics runur.runcode: runur_mrp20 Free UCAN sample pack: UCAN.co/mrpUse code MRP for 20% off!Support our podcast andcheck out our RunSwag Tshirts·      Our website: ⁠www.marathonrunningpodcast.com⁠·      Our Instagram: ⁠@runningpodcast⁠·      Our Amazon Storefront: ⁠Amazon Storefront⁠·      Join our Facebook group: ⁠SpeedStriders Facebook Group⁠·      Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcastTheme Song:––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Night Out by LiQWYD / liqwyd Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://www.audiolibrary.com.co/liqwyd/night-out Music promoted by Audio Library • Night Out – LiQWYD (No Copyright Music) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tut9O8uaJho&t=13s ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
