What is the most common mental barrier runners face? Can you think your way to performance goals? How do we recover better and reduce our injury risk using the power of the mind?

In this episode, we are joined by Alexandra Johnson, triathlete and physio. Alexandra has always seen running as more than just physical, teaching clients that mindset can influence the way your body responds in both recovery and performance. We learn the key things to work on when it comes to mindset, some easy tools to start implementing and just how impactful focusing on mindset can be in getting the most out of yourself.

Alexandra is offering a complimentary 45 mins Vision Reality Action call for 5 Miles Easy listeners (worth £200). In this call, Alexandra takes clients through a 3 step process: creating a vision on goals relating to performance/injury, the reality of this vision (i.e. barriers) and creating action points to make the vision a reality. To book a call, use this link: https://calendly.com/physiofitgb/kinetic-synergy-call-clone

This week, we're joined by Phily Bowden, who is fresh off an incredible 2:25 marathon and her boyfriend, business partner and also our fantastic editor of 5ME, Daniel!

We delve into how Phily went from leaving behind a US running scholarship and questioning whether she even wanted to continue running to re-discovering her passion in the marathon and alongside, building a successful content creation business with her boyfriend, Daniel.
