EP29: Guest Episode - Stu Holliday - Sports Psychologist - Facing Your Inner Critic : Building an Unbreakable Mindset for Running and Life

In this powerful episode of Clean Break Chats, Andy and Rich sit down with performance psychologist Stu Holliday a man who’s worked with Olympic swimmers, England Netball, Liverpool FC, and now helps endurance athletes master their mental game through his Unbreakable Athlete program.

Stu shares practical, game-changing tools for managing your inner critic, building mental toughness, and finding joy in running again - without the pressure of constant performance.

We talk about:

How to manage your inner chimp (and why you can’t just silence it)
What to do when the voice in your head says “you’re not good enough”
Why “open goal” runs without music or watches reconnect you to joy
The power of composure, smile cues, and realistic optimism
How to mentally navigate injury, self-doubt, and comparison
Why the strongest athletes train their minds as much as their bodies

Whether you’re training for your first 10K or chasing a marathon PB, this episode is a masterclass in mindset, recovery, and resilience — not just for running, but for life.
