The days of just “gutting it out” are long gone. It takes a lot more than good old determination and willpower to get you through training and the big day. Remember, let your mind lead the way, not your body.

Don’t be set so much on willpower and determination that you miss out on the big picture of why you want to do this. By the way, why do you want to do this? Don’t let yourself off by stopping at your first answer!

When you go beyond that first answer, you will begin to realize what is really driving you. When you learn what is really driving you, then you can use that to push yourself through willpower and determination. You will build the foundation that will get your subconscious mind working for you, not against you. In short, you are in for an incredible experience.

Whether you’re already running more than twenty miles per week or if you haven’t even seen a pair of running shoes in ten years, YOU can successfully train for and finish a half marathon or even a marathon. Believe in yourself. Once you learn the right way how to train, you will begin to believe, then you will realize your goal.
