2023-05-1131 minRunning Is Life PodcastBeating Negative Self-Talk w/ Sport Psychologist Andrew Bednarzik & Listener Q & A - episode 163Andrew Bednarzik, Mental Performance Coach, Licensed Therapist, & Professor and I discuss negative self-talk and strategies to help reduce it and get through it when it happens. I also answer two listener questions about converting road paces to trail paces, as well as how long should your average run be. Lastly, I talk about my pivot from the cancelled Rim Runner 50-miler to the Bootlegger 50-miler since the course and strategies are pretty different. I hope you enjoy the Episode!

They are both amazing people doing awesome things. The reason this episode came to light was because we didn't think Ben was going to line up less than 2 weeks from the start of the race. This is the story of how that came to be and how Ben found the finish line through all of it!
