Sometimes you may doubt the process and so you don’t give it everything you have. You may skip a workout or not do all of the repeats, because it might not work anyway. Or on the opposite side, you may overdo it and not take a rest day when needed to allow your body to recover. How will you ever know if it works or not it you don’t give it 100%?

When you have confidence in the process, you do the plan, even when you don’t want to. You follow the plan even when it doesn’t make sense. You take a rest day or run recovery pace when you want to go faster. You take care of yourself and listen when you need to make adjustments.

Having confidence that you can accomplish the goal is most important component of training. When you step up to the start line, believe, have confidence, trust in your body, and trust in the process you have gone through.

The process is so much more than just showing up for the training runs. The process of training for a marathon requires you to work on your brain. It requires you to push beyond limits that you have set in your brain. Have confidence in your brain and in the work you have done to get it ready to go the distance.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! You will never regret believing in yourself.
