A small example of Carrie’s worksheets
Sarah and Dimity engage in an intriguing conversation with Carrie Cheadle, a mental training expert and the author of On Top of Your Game: Mental Skills to Maximize Your Athletic Performance. A dedicated trail runner (and former race car driver!), Carrie dives into the difference between pain and suffering while striving toward a goal—and how you deal with the two can affect your success. She tells how to put a positive spin on pre-race jitters and to even harness their power for your benefit. Carrie shares what Dimity dubs a “pocket tip” about breath control, as well as her three best pieces of advice for injured runners. Find out why The Donald and Kanye West pop up in the convo. And, no, it’s not part of the discussion about Mary Jane in the intro to this hour+ episode.
Warning: The S-word (rhymes with “hit”) pops up twice in this podcast. Apologies if it offends, and you might want to shield children within earshot.

This was one of my favorite episodes yet, I’ve listened to it twice already. I took away a lot of tips to get me through the second half of my training for my first marathon. I’m looking forward to checking out Carrie’s book and blog!
