Mental Training for Distance Runners | VDOTO2 Study

#runningtips #mentaltoughness
Mental training for distance runners is an important topic if you are seeking to be better than average or good. Great runners know that mental rehearsal coupled with physical training is how to get to the next level in this sport.

Mental training for runners is a tactic I share often in my running courses, training plans and blog at rundreamachieve.com. The very best runners I have trained and lived with (including Olympians) utilized it.

Check out the resources below to help take your preparation and racing to the next level. Leave a comment, like, share and subscribe. Thanks for your support of RunDreamAchieve.
