How to Gain Mental Toughness and Increase Running Performance with Alyssa Clark

Every runner deals with mentally struggling and that barrier when in a race. Alyssa Clark shares her insights on the mental and physical aspects of ultra running, emphasizing the importance of bravery, self-belief, and community support. She highlights how mental barriers are just voices that can be overcome and how true winning is about personal growth, not just podium finishes.

Alyssa discusses the significance of consistency in training, noting that building an aerobic base takes years of dedication. She stresses the importance of patience in endurance training and warns against racing too frequently, as it can hinder long-term progress. Instead, selecting key races and optimizing workouts leads to better performance.

To navigate tough moments, Alyssa relies on her mantra, "This is what winning feels like," and encourages runners to find joy in the process to sustain long-term success. She also highlights the value of a strong support team and having interests outside of running to maintain overall happiness.

Ultimately, Alyssa’s message is about balance—embracing the highs and lows of running, taking breaks when needed, and maintaining passion to avoid burnout. Whether a beginner or a seasoned runner, her wisdom offers valuable lessons for anyone looking to improve their performance and enjoyment in the sport.

Huge Thank you to Alyssa for coming on the show!
