313. The Psychology of Becoming a Runner (Identity, Consistency & Comparison)
22m
In this episode, Letty sits down with Claire Boyce to explore the mental side of running that often gets overlooked. From imposter syndrome and comparison to consistency, burnout, and identity, this conversation goes beyond training plans and pace to uncover what it really means to become—and stay—a runner. They dive into how to handle setbacks, reframe slower seasons, use running as a tool for processing stress, and build a more resilient, flexible mindset that carries over into everyday life. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “doing enough” or struggled to stay consistent, this episode will hit home.
