    Mind Over Miles: How to Master Your Mind for Marathon Day 🧠🏃‍♀️

    What goes on in your mind when a marathon gets tough? And how can you train your brain to help you perform at your best? On this episode of Paula’s Run Club, Paula Radcliffe and Christopher “Thommo” Thompson are joined by Katie Mobed, one of the UK's leading performance psychologists, who has worked with athletes across four Olympic teams, from London 2012 to Paris 2024. Katie explains how our brains respond to pressure, introducing the concepts of the “red brain”, “blue brain” and the “computer” – the store of past experiences, habits and beliefs that can shape how we react when things get difficult.Together, they explore mental strategies for tackling the tough miles, managing pre-race nerves, dealing with setbacks and building resilience. They also discuss the importance of recovery and sleep, managing everyday stress and why having an identity beyond running can make you a better athlete. Whether you're preparing for your first marathon, chasing a personal best or simply looking to enjoy your running more, this episode is packed with practical advice and fascinating insights. Katie's parting reminder? You often have more in you than your mind is telling you.
