Tina4real With Tina Muir

You know by now I hate feeling that some runners do not feel part of the "club" because they are "slow", but are there any things about running that are different for 12-13+ minute mile runners? I go over this, plus imposter syndrome in this episode. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tina4real/support

A bit of a fun one for Tuesday, what words do I commonly use that are British, despite living in the US for the last 13 years? I also admit to some words I prefer in the US over what they are called in the UK. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tina4real/support

Have you heard of the growth vs. fixed mindset? I have been reading the book Mindset by Carol Dweck, and a lot of it can apply to running, especially if we tend to put pressure on our runs and races. If you struggle with a fear of failure, this book might help you too. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tina4real/support

Getting your nutrition right on race day can be the difference between the race of your dreams and crying on the side of the road.

I explain what you should be doing to succeed. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tina4real/support
