Do you consider yourself a Runner?
Do you run regularly?
If the answer was yes, surprise!
You are a Runner.
The only condition to be a runner is to run, the speed, the distance, the rigor with which you do it and more are adjectives for the verb to run, so the next time someone asks you on the street if you are a runner, answer yes with honor. !
Believing yourself a runner can have a significant change in your performance, training your mind to form your identity as a runner helps increase your confidence, therefore you will begin to feel and act like a runner, here we tell you six strategies that we find in the book: The mind by Dr. Jeff Brown's runner. To form your runner identity:
- Learn about the subject: buy magazines, investigate all the doubts you have, start following Instagram accounts of people who can teach you something, in general, fill yourself with references and learn as much as you can.
- Socialize with other runners, look for a group, find friends with whom you can share experiences, we all have a story to tell, what is yours?
- Speak to yourself positively and triumphantly.
- Set goals and take note of them.
- Dress as a runner: as Barney Stinson said, "suit up!". Use those clothes that make you feel comfortable, safe, runner, wearing the right clothes can significantly change your performance.
- Run: Train well, be consistent, push yourself on the days you don't want to, have a training plan and keep running.
The mind is as powerful a tool as muscles, bones or joints, so as you train strength, take care of your joints, eat well to take care of your bones, you must train your mind and take care of your thoughts, because in races in the background who finishes the last kilometers, when the body does not give more is the head.
