Ross Braden is an elite British marathon runner who finished in 12th place in 2022's London Marathon (in a time of 2:14:32). A client of mine, Ross has broken client confidentiality to talk and reflect on the psych skill training we worked on together in preparation for that event, and in preparation for his upcoming 2023 Amsterdam debut appearance, he is an exceptional talent and we discuss how he works on his mental fitness in order to help him fulfill his potential on race day.

This episode is part of the Autumn 2023 marathon preparation series by Focused Mind Coaching in order to help athletes at all levels mentally train their fitness, resilience, and flexibility specifically at this time of the calendar season. With the GOAT (Eliud Kipchoge) racing Berlin Marathon on the 24th of September, attempting the World Record for the marathon distance, we aim to show how you can take a little from his thinking and my work and research and apply it in your discipline, training, and racing.
