Mental Skills Foundation for Rocket City Marathon

This episode is part of the Rocket City Marathon Podcast Alley series, and it’s all about helping every runner show up feeling prepared, confident, and ready to race. Sierra partners with the Rocket City Marathon in Huntsville, Alabama, to help runners strengthen the mental skills that matter just as much as physical training. Joined by Race Weekend Coordinator Rhonda Hayden, Sierra shares practical mental skills training strategies for building confidence, staying focused, managing energy, and creating a race-day mindset that supports you from the first training run to the finish line. Whether you’re training for the marathon, half marathon, 10K, or 5K, this conversation is packed with encouragement and actionable tools to help you stay motivated when training gets hard. You’ll hear how to use mantras, visualization, breath work, and self-talk to push through challenging runs, build resilience, and trust your preparation.CONNECT WITH ME:If you'd like to share your own experience using mental skills during a recent marathon or ultra, please reach out to Sierra on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠email: ShatteredPerformance@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about Sierra at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://shatteredrunner.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Sierra on IG ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ShatteredRunner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Register for Rocket City Marathon
