Part 1 of what will become a powerful series for how to raise or even PERFECT the mental game of an athlete, and for our purposes, a runner. Research has shown that happiness is a determining factor for the success of a person within their job. Many times we can get down and depressed because of setbacks and failures, but that doesn't HAVE to be the case.

How does this make us happier? That's what this podcast is all about! For links and show notes, go to the page for the podcast: http://www.kaizenrunning.com/krp-018/
