Mental Skills for Runners - Part 4

Join Us This Sunday
at Fleet Feet!
Imagery for Injury Recovery
Picture this: You’re out on the trails for a planned long run. You’re two miles into a 13-mile route, taking in the scenery, listening to your breath, hearing the runners behind you stepping where you step, and then, bam! You’re on the ground in incomprehensible pain from rolling off the side of the trail. You try to stand up, but as soon as you do, the spinning starts, you’re dizzy and a little nauseous. You sit down. How are you supposed to get up? How are you supposed to get back to your car? What about your race in two weeks?
Injuries hurt the physical body; they also take a toll on an athlete’s emotions, too. This workshop will cover techniques such as imagery to help you get back to running both physically and mentally post-injury.
When: Sunday, August 17th
Time: 9:00am
Where: Fleet Feet Chico
Hope to see you there!
