1:1
Get better at working with yourself, not against yourself.
Sometimes it's your legs.
Sometimes it really isn't.
Maybe you've lost confidence after a bad race.
You're putting so much pressure on a goal that running isn't feeling much fun anymore.
You can't stop comparing your pace to everyone else's.
Race nerves are taking over.
Your motivation has disappeared halfway through a training block.
You're coming back after injury or time away and don't quite trust your body yet.
Or the voice in your head on a difficult run is frankly being a bit of a pain.
That's the stuff we can work with.
Mind Gym
A one off 45 minute 1:1 session to work on something specific that's showing up in your running.
Race nerves. Confidence. Motivation. Pressure. Comparison. A mental block. Or something you can't quite put your finger on yet.
We'll work out what's going on and use the right tools to help you approach it differently.

Mind Gym: Training Block
12 weeks of 1:1 support for the mental side of your running.
This is where the longer term magic happens. You'll have six sessions across your training block, starting with a 60 minute session followed by five 45 minute sessions.
There's no fixed six-step programme. We'll work with the running that's actually happening, the good weeks, horrible runs, confidence wobbles, motivation dips, race nerves and whatever else comes up along the way.
Depending on what you need, we'll use mindset coaching, Rapid Tapping®, meditation and visualisation, with personalised audio support you can do at home where it's useful.
The aim isn't to make you dependent on someone else telling you what to do.
It's to help you know yourself better as a runner and turn the volume up on your better inner coach (rather than that harsh inner coach).

How the tools works
EXPLORE Coaching helps you understand what's actually going on and what you want to do about it.
Ground mindfulness and breath meditation, helps with attention, awareness and noticing what's happening without immediately getting swept up in it.
Tap Rapid Tapping®, release what's in the way and allow what's possible. useful when you understand something intellectually but your brain and body haven't caught up.
imagine visualisation helps you mentally rehearse what’s ahead, so when you meet it for real, it doesn’t feel quite so unfamiliar..
join the considered running® club
The Considered Running Club is where I write about the experience of being a runner, not just the training.
Confidence, comparison, motivation, expectations, bad runs, brilliant runs, starting again, chasing goals and the voice in your head through all of it.
Because every run gives us a chance to notice something about ourselves.
Sometimes profound.
Sometimes just that we should have gone to the toilet before we left.
