Endurance Mind Coaching Founder, Stu Holliday, talks with Fraser MacDonald Oulds again, about the mental capacity that endurance athletes build not just in terms of physical, but also psychologically during build phases. We discuss practices that free up space, such as limiting social media, as well as growing capacity through emotional flexibility and broadening our training opportunities to allow for performance bests and improvements to occur.
A lot of what we discuss was covered in the classic book: Endure: Mind Body and the Curiously Elastic limits of Human Performance by Alex Hutchinson. In his opinion, one of the major factors we should consider endurance pain non-judgementally and as emotion free as possible. We hope that our conversation helps you think a little differently than before.
