Ready to push your limits and discover what you're truly capable of? Ever wondered what it takes to become an unstoppable endurance athlete? This is the episode for you. Join JT Xiah and me, Angie Petran, as we pull back the curtain on the fascinating world of endurance. We share our own journey in the world of long-distance running, offering a glimpse into our training strategies, and the thrill of crossing the finish line. Drawing on the book "Born to Run," we explore the unique qualities that make us humans born for endurance. Our guest, Bob, even chips in with some golden advice on managing emotional control during a race.
From crushing miles to crushing life goals, we've got a treasure trove of strategies to help you conquer your own endurance challenge. Discover the power of breaking down seemingly daunting tasks into manageable bits, a technique we call 'chunking'. Learn about the amazing power of visualization, and how it's transformed not only our athletic careers but our personal lives too. And if you've ever been curious about the law of attraction, wait till you hear how it ties into visualization!
But we're not all about grit and grind. We believe joy should be an integral part of any journey. So, in this episode, we discuss the power of a simple smile in brightening someone's day, even amidst technical difficulties or mid-race struggles. Listen to an inspiring conversation that reminds us all to spread a little joy, even as we strive for our goals. So, lace up those running shoes, turn up the volume, and let's dive into the world of endurance.
