This message specifically is what I needed today as I am starting to work towards a goal that I have put off for years! 🙌🏻

Chelsey

I am struggling and this was just what I needed. I am going to find my positives and what I want to tell myself when I start to get the negative thoughts in my head. Thank you Sally.

Candace rice

Such a useful reminder of how to deal with negative thoughts. I had a tough run on Saturday, really muddy and my legs and feet were hurting and tired. Then half way round my watch stopped and I felt a wave of ‘how can I do this?’ So I slowed to a walk, sucked down a gel with some water and then ten minutes later I felt good again!

Lucy

I like the tip of practicing thru low points.

Bevan

Your words are so inspiring and important to us all!! Thank you for sharing! I needed this today!

Mindy

Great ideas for finishing a race. My mind is the most challenging obstacle when racing 100 miles. I am going to change the dialogue

An attitude of gratitude provides strength. Thanks so much for this lesson. Definitely packed with great information I will reference often.

Shawnette

5 star! You hit all the fundamentals! I recently DNF'd and I only wished I would have listened to this before hand.

Leigh Adams

Some of my biggest questions have to do with how to handle the mental side of ultras and how to sort out real problems from negative talk. This really helped

Sarah

Anytime I need a little boost of confidence, joy, or strength, I know I can always find it listening to you. You reflect the inner strength and wisdom inside us all and I truly appreciate how relatable you are each time you share. Training is going great, but life has been extra challenging lately and I find much solace in your teachings today. Thank you.

Rhea

This was so encouraging!👍Lots of truth here

Abby Barber

Inspirational. Thank you Sally ❤️🤗

Julie

Fantastic thank you Sally, so many gold nuggets 🙌💯

Michelle Johnson

Thank you. I totally had a HORRIBLE first 50K experience. I have no idea why but I threw out my well fine tuned game plan on race day. I sucked at keeping up electrolytes I went out too fast and my calf muscles at mile 16 completely shut down Charlie horse cramps. I fell to the ground screaming in pain. I thought omg how am I going to finish this race? So I got up ate food tried my hardest and limped to the finish line. I didn't cry , I smiled, and I kept positive the whole time! I told myself I was the only one who could get my butt across the finish line. And I did it! That positive mindset is what gote to the end. I grew stronger mentally that day. Did I get my results I wanted? No! I'm embarrassed at my 7 hr 55 min 50K BUT I learned something that day and it was priceless.

Colleen

This will be one I will keep coming back to as my training gets longer and harder. Thank you!!

Pamela B

Shannon

I really appreciate your perspective. Sometimes having someone else give validity to a perspective is very helpful.

What a pep talk! I’m going to listen to this until I memorize it and use it during my next 100😀

Such a good reminder to take the longview when dealing with present challenges. Reframing the discomfort into something that will teach me is infinitely helpful and applicable to all sorts of situations. Thank you Sally.

Christina

I need this for tomorrow. I have a high vert run and the last race I did in this area was DNF… I need this run to regain my confidence, and this positive mindset change I know will help me through.

Emily

I love your workouts, but this gave the app subscription more value than any workout.  So important to hear this stuff and exactly what I needed to hear - for training, for races and for life situations!

This absolutely spoke to me. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge you’ve gained over the years, and being an all encompassing coach💛

Need this for my next marathon. Even thought I've done 30-35 marathons I have mr completed one in a few years so have to steel my mind for my next 26.2 in April

Super helpful with long runs ramping up and races coming soon

Allison

Awesome tips and advice! I really cannot wait to put these into practice. I think you explained it so well in a way that is very relatable.

Renae Middleton

Thanks so much Sally! I’m 65 and have my first marathon in 4 weeks. So I’m making my list of positive thoughts to put in my “tool bag” for the race. And I am so grateful for all the training, great running buddies to share the miles and the reminder that I am stronger than I think.

#2- The Power of Goal Setting

Lisa

I love "do something every day". Such great advice in here!

Simone

I liked the reminder to at least do something - even if it’s just 5min. During the video I was wondering what your take is on how much sleep a person should get and when you actually go to bed if you get up at 4am 🫣  
But the principle to get up early to get things done has always been game changer. 😊
