Mental resilience is as crucial as physical fitness in endurance sports.
Strategies to foster it:
  • Simulate race day challenges in training.
  • Practice positive self-talk and visualization.
  • Develop coping mechanisms for discomfort.
  • Set process goals, not just outcome goals.
  • Encourage reflection on successful past performances.
