    Running is part mental. I won’t get into percentages or anything like that because it really varies day to day, how long runs are, what type of workout it is, etc.

      There have been many runs where I “talked” myself out of a good run!

    Great quote. Definitely want to check out the movie. Sounds really good.

    Running absolutely has its physical aspects but no doubt is largely a mental game. I unlocked this key after reading What I Talk About When I Talk About Running where the author uses mantras and discussions with himself while running to break through barriers/hurdles. He believes most pain is mental and you can work through it to complete training, marathons and ultramarathons. Very helpful book..and an excellent read.

      Thanks for the tip on the book. I’ll check out the library for it!

    I believe running is mental. There are so much barriers to overcome while training and so much involves getting through those barriers mentally.
