Imagining a Tiger Behind You

One of the key insights from the podcast is the effectiveness of imagining a tiger behind you while running. The speaker describes how pretending there's a tiger chasing you can increase speed and motivation, helping you push through when feeling like quitting. This approach is supported by a running expert who suggests different mental techniques, such as picturing running on hot coals or acting like you're running with your arms out like an airplane. These imaginative techniques not only enhance stamina and energy but also add variety and fun to the running experience.
