A must-listen for anyone stepping up to a starting line soon! Sarah and Katie (who is running the Chicago Half-Marathon in a week) get great insight and advice from Meg Waldron, M.S., a mental performance coach and former competitive runner. Meg tells:

-new ways to “chunk up” a race;

-how self-talk can calm pre-race jitters + keep you strong in the final miles;

-how + why to use visualization;

-tricks to stay engaged + motivated even with few spectators; and,

-strategies to plan your post-competition time. 

In the intro chitchat, Sarah talks up her teen daughter’s experience on a coed soccer team. The guest joins at 9:56.
