Proper mental training is essential for both elite and beginner runners alike. Sadly enough, many fitness enthusiasts fail to address the mental aspect of their training and thus, they fell short and don't reach their full potential.

As a result, here are 2 mental training strategies you can use to boost your mind power for better running performance immediately.

Pre-run mental preparation

Mind clutter and confusion can hinder your running success drastically. In fact being uncertain and perplexed about your next workout is the recipe for disaster. Therefore, you should make sure to avoid falling into such traps by preparing properly your mind before you head out the door.

Mental preparation takes place even before you take your first steps. So next time you plan a running workout, make sure to have your running gears ready the night before, you don't want to run around and look furiously for your running shoes instead of actually starting the workout.

Visualizing the running track and the type of run that's on schedule can be also implemented into your mental preparation phase.

Use positive self talk

The way we talk to ourselves determines radically how we look and feel about ourselves. Hence if you have been feeling down and demotivated, you may need to take an objective look at your inner dialogue and decide whether you are saying to yourself the right words or not.

And it's not just about the words, it's about how you are saying them. Some words can be harsh and cruel; however the tonality of the voice can make them ten fold worse. Be more gentle to yourself and learn to use more uplifting and smooth self talk.
