Welcome to our Run Your Mind Series. These bite-sized mental skills sessions are designed to help you have your best possible running experience.

In this session you will be guided through a practice for bringing CALM to your inner-critic. For best results, we recommend tuning in before (or during) a run, so that you can road-test this strategy in real-time.

This is the first of five sessions we will be releasing in the lead up to our Unlock Your Marathon State of Mind Course with Sydney Marathon. If you are running the Sydney Marathon you receive free access to this course, valued at over $900. If you haven't yet claimed your spot, be sure to do so here before the course starts on August 4, 2024.

If you find this helpful, share it with a friend who you think may enjoy it too. We hope it helps you to have a better running experience.

What do you do when things don't work out?

Welcome to this episode where we reflect on Eloise's journey towards qualifying for and ultimately missing out on selection for the Paris Olympics. Eloise shares how she has processed this and what the marathon has taught her about herself thus far. We hope that Eloise's insights help you to stay optimistic and continue working on mastering the inner game even when things don't work out they way you hope.

This episode is brought to you by our Marathon State of Mind Mentorship. Would you like Eloise and Rory to be your personal mentors to help you optimise your mental game? If so, this could be for you. There are just a handful of mentorship spots still available so get in touch via the link above to learn more.

Welcome to this Q&A episode where Eloise and Rory answer listener questions about:

1. How to cope with injury setbacks
2. How to keep a good mindset when injury has held you back from a race
3. Dealing with the thought of an injury not getting better
4. Healthy & unhealthy goal setting
5. Balancing relationships and training

Thank you to everyone who submitted questions. Stay tuned for part 2 of this Q&A soon.
