Are
You Making
the Most
of Your
Running
Potential?
Or
Just
Looking
to Take
Your
Running
Performances
to the
Next
Level?
The
answers
are all
in the
mind -
as the
mind
controls
your
body,
not the
other
way around.
Running
is a unique
sport where the
mind plays
a particularly enormous role
in your
performance.
This
is because,
compared
to other
sports
(where
there is
loads of
equipment
and other
performance
aids), running
is basically
just you out
there -
your body
and your
thoughts,
nothing
else.
Possibly
for this
reason, runners
are drawn
to mental
training
much sooner and
in greater
numbers
in comparison
to most
other sports
- as I
am constantly
asked to
create
many different
customized
hypnosis
recordings
for all
kinds of
runners.
As
a mental
trainer,
for the
past
few decades
I have
worked
with
a vast
number
of middle
and long
distance
runners
from
all over
the world, teaching
mental
toughness
and peak
performance
- to boost
their
performances,
and deal
with
various
issues
and challenges they
encounter.
After
many years I
began to
notice
consistent
patterns
with most
runners and
many of
the exact
same experiences,
challenges
and issues
they all
seemed
to be dealing
with -
such as:
-
belief
and inner confidence issues
when under pressure of
races
-
intimidation and self
sabotage
-
nerves -
before and during a race
-
energy
and endurance issues
-
dealing
with pain better
during the race
-
handling competitor's
attempts to pass,
or catching runners in
front
-
staying
consistently strong with
good pace and stride throughout
the run (and also on hills
for cross country runners)
-
concentration
issues in
performance, in both training
and races
-
daily
motivation to
train
|
The reason why physical training alone cannot
always deal with these issues is because they
reside within the subconscious mind - the automatic
pilot side of our running - which houses our beliefs
and "mental wiring".
How
Your
Mind
Works
- and
Tuning
Your
Inner
Computer
To Success
Many
runners
do not
achieve
the same
times
in races
as they
achieve
in their
training,
and when
this
happens
regularly, they
realize
much quicker than
most
athletes
that
the issue
is mental, rather
than
physical.
This
is because running
requires
powerful
mental
resources
and instills
a high
level of
self-awareness within
most runners.
Mental
training
increases
your use
of the
all-powerful
subconscious
mind, and
this also
happens
to be the
area which helps
runners
click into
their 'Zone'.
The
Zone
is the
mental
state
which
achieves
the peak
level
of running
performance -
and allows
you to
flow
over
the ground
more
instinctively
and automatically,
while
your
body
receives
near-perfect
instructions
for your
performance.
During
this time, the
weaker
conscious
mind virtually
shuts down
from your
performance and
is only
required
to make
some occasional
tactical
decisions.
This
is very
important
- because
if your
body gets
its instructions
from the
weaker
conscious
mind, rather
than from
the body's
control
center
(subconscious) the
body's
muscles
contract
and inhibit
performance.
The
subconscious
mind is
an awesomely
powerful
mechanism
which works
almost
exactly
the same
way as
a computer.
It
contains
all your
running memories,
knowledge and experience and
is designed
to help
you succeed
in whatever
you do
- but
can also
just
as easily
work against us
if not
programmed
correctly.
When
self-sabotage
occurs,
it shows
through
missed
opportunities,
lost
confidence,
poor
form,
sudden
unexpected
tiredness,
a sudden
fear
of success
or failure,
etc.
Having
a positive
expectation of
success
is important,
because we
tend to
get what
we expect rather
than what
we deserve -
and this
is another
area controlled
by our
powerful
subconscious.
The
methods
of relaxation,
visualization
and hypnotic
suggestion
are powerful
ways to
influence
your mind
at the
deepest
levels,
and dramatically
increase
success
in your
running.
But
most
runners
seemed
to have
trouble
using
mental
training
without
some
form
of guidance -
so I
created
a hypnosis
and visualization
recording
which
allows
runners
to use
mental
training
in the
convenience
of their
own home.
Needless
to say,
the results
have been
excellent
- but it
is no surprise
as these
techniques
have been proven many
times around
the world
to work -
and work
effectively.
Unfortunately
visualization
is not
always
used as
positively
as it needs
to be -
because most
of us don't
realize
that we
are actually
visualizing
all day
long -
a kind
of unconscious
visualization if
you like.
For
instance, many
athletes
who experience
any kind
of recurring
patterns
or self
sabotage in
their performance
(which
are very
common
mental
issues
I work
on with
athletes)
are most
often caused
by the
athlete unknowingly visualizing
themselves
to fail.
This is purely because every single one of the 60,000
thoughts we have each waking day - including negative
thoughts - are automatically converted into a picture,
or an image, within the subconscious. This is a form
of automatic visualization.
This
process
is much
like running
a constant
movie though
your mind
all day
long without
realizing,
which is
programming
your future
results.
Making
sure the
technique
is being
used positively
and correctly
is the
only way
to ensure
the recurring
patterns
are overcome and
replaced
with stronger
performances.
Having
said that, many
athletes
also use
it who
have no
problems
at all -
they simply
want to
improve
their performances
even further.
When
it comes
down
to it,
it's
the mind
that
controls
the body -
but most
athletes
tend
to see
this
the other
way around
until
they
experience
a problem
in performance
and begin
to understand
how the
mind
/ body
connection
works.
As
with most
of our
programs,
this particular
recording
was created
after being
asked to
create
specially
customized
versions
for elite
runners, which
ensures
that every
area of
performance
is covered
and can
be successfully
tailored
to any
future
performances.
This
recording
can be
used any
time of
the day, in
the convenience
of your
own home, and
can also
be used
on an ongoing
basis for
as long
as you
require
it - saving
you the
cost of
private
consultations which
can often
cost several
thousand
dollars.
It's much
like
having
your
very
own personal
hypnotherapy
session, to
prepare
you to
meet
your
challenges
ahead
with unlimited
power
and unquenchable
belief.
It
is
designed
to
create
a positive
new
mindset
of
confidence,
expectation,
belief,
enthusiasm,
positivity,
and
pre-program
performance.
It's
suitable
for
all
ages
and
standards,
for
intermediate
to
elite
levels,
and
young
and
adult
competitors
alike
- to
transform
results
over
the
weeks
and
months
ahead.
A runner who knocked 3 minutes off their time.........
"I
brought your program earlier
in the year. I love it! I wanted
to say thank you very much! I
really notice it working and
you are sooo right the
result of a race really is determined
before getting to the starting
line.
I
really wasn't sure I believed
it until now. I
visualized the race and
saw myself typing on the
message board to my running
club the result of the
race, and how I planned
to run it.
I found it hard to visualize a positive race
in images but visualizing 'telling people about
it' worked for me. Thank you so much for your
advice and your program!
I knocked almost 3 minutes
off of my time! They say
that 5k's helps your mental toughness,
but I didn't have mental toughness
so that's why though I always show
up to race I end up running 5k's.
And
also thank you so much for
your email support, we
have talked before and after
I had brought the program, your
customer service and your advice
and support are great.
I
will keep you posted, I am planning
on doing a 50k in May, it will
be my first Ultra and I know
mental training is really going
to play a key role, when endurance
gets longer and the runs gets
tougher :-)
Thanks again.
