Before your body tires, your brain starts negotiating. The thoughts come early: Slow down. Stop. This is too hard. But what if that resistance isn’t weakness — it’s biology?

In this episode, we explore the mental side of endurance training. From the science of the Central Governor Theory to the lived experience of pushing through when everything says stop, we’ll look at how your mind shapes effort, fatigue, and even your pace.

I’ll share how I work through the mental noise in my own runs, why perceived effort often matters more than pace, and how reframing what “hard” feels like can change your relationship with training.

Whether you’re rebuilding after a break, running through hormonal shifts, or just trying to get out of your head and into your body....this episode is about reclaiming your mental terrain.
