Summary
Ever wonder what it would be like if an amateur runner had the help of a sports psychologist? Meet Dr. Bob! The former head of Sports Psychology at UCLA and a licensed psychologist, Dr. Bob has helped me battle some of my toughest mental battles. Today, he's checking in with me as I approach my second Boston Marathon qualifying attempt. We talk how to power through when I'm struggling, what tips he has for unlocking that feeling of effortlessness I am always chasing, and what I can do to set myself up for strong training runs.
