I am sure I can come up with at least 10, so there you have it.<\/p>\n<p>However, before I delve into my 10 ways to build mental toughness, I have the honor to introduce my awesome coach and friend Robert Ressl-Moyer who also tackled this topic.

Check out his podcast interview on Rambling Runner and decide for yourself on his greatness.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1>According to Robert Ressl-Moyer, there are three very important ways to improve mental toughness.<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>Choose one aspect of training<\/strong> you usually are shying away from during each training cycle. If you need to improve hills, run hills. If you lack the power and steadiness on flat terrain, run on flats. If you don\u00b4t strength train, try to incorporate strength training. Facing your fears and getting uncomfortable in training will grow your potential to overcome obstacles during race day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1039\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1039\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1039\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GroupPic_Robert-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GroupPic_Robert-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GroupPic_Robert.jpg 858w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1039\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Speaking of hills, here we are chasing hills at sunrise with my coach and some of my awesome team mates.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Mental toughness is trusting in yourself and knowing your abilities.<\/strong> It is also recognizing what you need to improve upon in a certain situation and acting no matter of the consequences. That can mean either realizing that dropping out of an important race is the best choice, or continuing to red line and pushing through obstacles to achieve a goal. Mental toughness is a powerful tool to achieve your maximum results. When Galen Rupp dropped out of the Boston Marathon 2018 he was criticized but celebrated when he won the Prague Marathon just a few weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>3.<strong> For Robert Ressl-Moyer being confronted with and overcoming challenges during training cycles is always a big confidence booster on race day.<\/strong> For instance, when he raced the North Face Endurance Challenge 50 Mile in 2017, he stayed calm when he\u00a0 experienced first cramping in his calves at the 20-mile mark. When that happened, Robert just told himself that there was no way that his cramps will slow him down. And even tough the cramps did not disappear, his issues stayed manageable through the whole race and he started his successful chase, placing 16th in a very competitive field.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In my case, the mental toughness shaped itself way before I became a runner at the age of 42. I have played in more than 250 tennis tournaments and I have been known as a mentally tough player, who can find a way to win like a ninja, the nickname that Christy, my awesome tennis friend, came up with for me.<\/p>\n<p>To purchase my tennis book\u00a0 just click on the link\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/-\/e\/B01N0RWHPQ?ref_=pe_1724030_132998070\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/-\/e\/B01N0RWHPQ?ref_=pe_1724030_132998070<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1041\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1041\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1041\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenBook_tennis_Jan27-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenBook_tennis_Jan27-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenBook_tennis_Jan27-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenBook_tennis_Jan27.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1041\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Not only have I played tennis for 25 years, but in 2016, I also published my tennis book, which, as you guessed includes a special chapter on mental toughness.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Therefore, my 10 tips to improve your mental toughness as a runner and athlete are below:<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>Trust in your own supernatural powers<\/strong> &#8211; We all have them when we believe fiercely and passionately in ourselves and chase our wildest dreams.<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Learn to trick your brain<\/strong> by reciting mantras, such as &#8220;I can do this,&#8221;\u00a0 &#8220;I have fresh legs,&#8221; &#8220;I just started my run,&#8221; even though you ran for a few hours,&#8221; &#8220;Run like a ninja,&#8221; which applies to me, since I am a ninja- ha!ha!, and just pretend that the effort is easier than it truly is. Chin up!<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>Never use the word hard<\/strong>; instead say challenging.<\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>Become comfortable with being uncomfortable<\/strong>. Long races, such as marathons and ultramarathons are perfect examples.<\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>Be prepared and expect obstacles<\/strong> to block your way and slow you down. However,\u00a0 you can simply pretend you\u2019re doing hurdles and you can gracefully jump over them.<\/p>\n<p>6. <strong>Life is a fight, therefore fight<\/strong>, as George Cosbuc, one of our famous Romanian poets, said. Nothing comes easy and without sacrifices, there are no victories, so no need to whine and complain; just get to work. Chin up!<\/p>\n<p>7. <strong>Surround yourself with positive people who believe in you<\/strong>, but who can also be honest with you and help you grow.<\/p>\n<p>8. <strong>Run, eat, sleep, repeat<\/strong>! Simple concept, right? No extra explanation needed.<\/p>\n<p>9. <b>Don\u2019t forget to smile!<\/b> Research shows that you\u2019ll run a little faster and will not mind or sense the pain as much.<\/p>\n<p>10. <strong>Carpe Diem, or seize the day\/moment<\/strong>.\u00a0 There is no reason to dwell on the past or fret about the future. Running is one of the best sports to enjoy and experience in the NOW.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1043\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1043\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1043\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FamilyPic_Feb24-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FamilyPic_Feb24-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FamilyPic_Feb24-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FamilyPic_Feb24-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1043\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This picture with my sweet husband Catalin and our daughter Sophia (our son Alex was the photographer) is the perfect example of my joy after having to dig deep during my second 50K race Salmon Falls, in which I PRed by an hour from my very first 50K race.
