Scott & Don

Are you ready to take your endurance sports mindset to the next level? In this episode we explore the book, Unbeatable Mind: Forge Resiliency and Mental Toughness to Suceed at an Elite Level, by Mark Devine.  Coach Adam Kimble joins us as we uncover the power of mental toughness, self-mastery, and preparation in running and life. We review three of the chapters and the golden nuggets that might help you from the four-step process for managing negative thoughts, discuss the role of intuition in high-stakes moments, and explain how mental clarity helps runners navigate chaos with confidence. The conversation also highlights how minimalism and letting go of emotional baggage can improve focus and performance. Authenticity, dedication, and resilience are key to achieving balance across physical, mental, and emotional challenges. Tune in to learn how to train your mind like you train your body and take control of your narrative!

  • the big backpack guy. Perhaps….

    Sometimes in the same race there are different people. Like in the Dakar race:

    type 1 has transportation to the start, two or more cars with food, drinks, clothing, shoes, chairs, massage tables, crewmembers and pacers. all helping ( & making fresh snacks) during the race and at the finish.
    type 2 goes alone to the start, has zero pacers, zero crew, zero friends and family helping. Use no phone at all, during the whole race, they just run alone with their pack full of clothes and days old snacks 🙁
