ADVICE

Stress Management for Runners

Acknowledge stress' impact on performance, accept current limitations.
Focus on what you can control, and try to remove stressors within your control like excessive news.

INSIGHT

Mindful Running and Flow State

Overthinking hinders natural flow, especially when focusing on too many metrics.
Trust your brain's innate ability to control movement; it knows how to run efficiently.
