Building mental toughness now (like in hot, humid weather ☀️) will help you access it when it really counts on race day.
You can’t fake mental toughness. It’s just not something that magically happens or you can somehow conjure up at mile 20 of a marathon. Yet, as a sport psychologist, I hear so many athletes talk about how they “dig deep” to find a reserve of mental strength when the road gets tough during a race without working on this skill during training.a skill set, and execution without practice rarely—if ever—works.
Optimism, on the other hand, is a positive belief about a future state or desired outcome. Optimism helps us bridge the gap between what we are currently doing and how that relates to achieving our goals. Believing that our current effort will help us become stronger, fitter, and faster aids our willingness to maintain that effort during training.
Understand that both willingness and optimism are mediated by self-talk. We can be really good at talking ourselves out of upcoming harder efforts before we even reach them. We can negotiate with ourselves in an effort to avoid unpleasantness. Be mindful of the messages in your mind and realize that you can change your thoughts. You can use the power of self-talk to engage in both willingness and optimism throughout your workout.
