200. Mindset Principles Runners Need to Know

October 27, 2023

Today is a very special episode – number 200 – and I wanted to do something a little different to celebrate this milestone.


I’ve had a look over the last 200 episodes and picked out the most important mindset principles runners need to know in order to crush your running and weight loss goals.


I’ve featured each of these principles on previous podcast episodes and you can easily go back through the archive and get a deep dive on each one of these any time.


It’s super fun putting these podcasts together for you each week and hopefully, they have helped you improve your health, fitness, and mindset in some way.


So here’s to episode number 200 and to the next 200 to come!


From the bottom of my heart…thank you for listening!


I really do love you all…


Here’s a list of each principle and a link to the episode it was featured on:

1. Self-awareness


2. Learning to love the process


3. How to avoid self-sabotage


4. How to make healthy habits stick


5. Making decisions ahead of time


6. The all-or-nothing mentality


7. Weight loss is NOT the goal!


8. Breaking the habit of being you


9. Overcoming limiting beliefs


10. Choose your struggle


11. Battling the resistance


12. Gap vs Gain


13. The power of total immersion


14. Living in integrity


15. Happiness is overrated


16. The other side of endurance


17. Overcoming your fear of success


18. The key to success: consistent aligned action


19. Increasing your emotional tolerance


20. The N=1 principle
