The Quarter No. 67 - The Momentum of Mood
We all know how the mood of an athlete impacts performance on race day, but we often forget to encourage positive mindsets in the quotidian grind of training. Fostering a positive view of the work you are doing leads to a feeling of accomplishment and growth. If you stack enough productive-feeling days you tend to build momentum and you roll over the rough days without over analyzing them.
Try to take a moment after each session to reflect on the positive aspects of the session and how the work you have put in is going to help build fitness. Get (low-key) excited daily about working hard and getting faster. Remind yourself that your gradual gains in fitness relate directly to achieving your goals. Build the momentum of your mood and, over time, you will find you’re naturally more positive. You will also respond better to training and most importantly, race better.
