E64: CALM THE F*CK DOWN (Audio Only)

This week on Behind the Bib, we’re diving into the mental side of running inspired by the book The Brave Athlete: Calm the F*ck Down and Rise to the Occasion.Why does our brain try to convince us to quit things we actually want? What’s the difference between a legit quit and a “shit quit?” And why does every run suddenly feel impossible halfway through?We’re talking discomfort, excuses, accountability, and how endurance sports teach us to push through the mental negotiations happening inside our heads.Because sometimes the hardest part of running isn’t your legs… it’s convincing your brain to calm the f*ck down.UPCOMING LOCAL RACESFleet Feet Race Calendar - use code BEHINDTHEBIB for 20% off your race entry!!! MAY 25: Cotton RowJUN 06: Rainsville Freedom Run 10k & 5kJUN 13: We Run We Finish 5kJUN 13: Hays Farm parkrun One Year Anniversary RunJUL 04: Freedom 5k and Independence MileJUL 04: Firecracker 5k and 1 Mile Fun RunJUL 12: MADISON 50K in Ennis Montana!!! SEP 07: Race for Justice,SEP 26: PGB 5k ALOHA RunOCT 17: Urban Bourbon Half Marathon and 5kNOV 14: Huntsville Half MarathonDEC 12-13: Rocket City Marathon WeekendJAN 10: Mobile Half/MarathonFEB 28: EWM, New Orleans Discount Codes: Safely Self Defense Noxgear - BehindtheBibBibBoards Discount Code: BehindtheBibMyRaceTatts: Lisa152FleetFeet Races: behindthebib
