    You’ve had a great training cycle…until that one bad workout. Your legs feel heavy. Your Garmin tells you you’re “unproductive.” You miss a few runs, head out on vacation, or start comparing your mileage to everyone else’s, and suddenly you’re questioning everything.


    In this first episode of a two-part series, we’re tackling the most common sources of runner anxiety that arise during a training cycle and sharing how we help athletes separate normal training stress from legitimate concerns.


    We hope that this episode will give you practical strategies to manage the mental side of training and build confidence in your process.


    Join us next week for Part 2, when we tackle the anxieties that show up as race day gets closer.
