Give your half marathon training a psychological boost
Running a half marathon can be a wonderful, life affirming experience if you have
trained properly.
One of the greatest marathon runners in history the incomparable
Emil Zatopek said:
"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a
thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways
than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter,
either. Then willpower will be no problem."
Proper half marathon preparation requires diligence, organization and self discipline because it's always easier not to do something. Inertia is powerful but nothing worth
doing is accomplished without diligence and effort.
The pleasure in avoiding regret
Whenever you train you'll always be pleased you did afterwards. When you miss a training session the regret you feel is a real pain.
Half marathon runners I work with sometimes tell me they 'enjoy' getting up in the
morning to train because they know they are 'avoiding' the future regret of not
training.
Regular but sensible training
Of course not over-training for your half marathon can also take self-discipline. To
not know that you should take time out and rest but still train can be damaging. You
need perfect balance in your training.
Hypnosis is an excellent way to motivate your mind. This session will increase your
motivation to run and will also guide you through the race itself.
Doing yourself justice
You need to know your half marathon training schedule and have a good diet and decent
shoes etc. After that consistent focus and applied diligence will get you
really enjoying your half marathon - after all it's only you who can do yourself full
justice on the day.
How great it will be when your half marathon training feels like second nature?
