71. Race-day mental strategies for the marathon with Dr. Justin Ross

In this episode we talk to a psychologist Dr. Justin Ross about all things mental when it comes to race day for your marathon. We talked to him about concepts such as the marathon being 90% mental, whether it’s best to think about each mile or let your mind drift off, what to do when you hit the wall, the concept of finding your why, running mantras, breaking up marathon into chunks, A B and C goals, visualization, learning to talk back, and more. If you have a race coming up, this episode will be very helpful.
