The mental side of running is just as important as the physical. In this video, I share my perspective on building mental toughness, the important of consistency and holding ourselves accountable. I also take out two super max stack shoes for some miles.
My shoes today were the Adidas Prime X Strung 2 and Puma MagMax. If you're going to buy either, use my Running Warehouse link to support the channel:
