Running Psychology and Performance – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

I’ve been busy increasing my running distances over recent weeks as I prepare for an ultramarathon later in the year (which is more likely to be an extended jog while eating cake!). This, as well as all of the runners and sportspeople I work with, has naturally led me to go into more depth about running psychology and how hypnosis helps. In this article I’m bringing together several of my recent posts so that you can find them all in one place.

My training took a bit of a hit a few weeks ago, due to side effects from the covid jab, which led to all sorts of unwell and fatigue for a week or so. Thankfully, since then my training at bootcamp and with my running seems to have returned to pre-jab levels.

This past weekend I went out and ran fifteen and a half miles around Ely and down the riverbank. It was a sweltering hot day than had me wishing quite quickly that I had got up at least an hour earlier to get more done before the sun came out. Running along the riverbank trails is one of my favourite routes right now, and on a pleasantly warm day (not a heatwave!) it is a joy to see the wildlife and to be around nature.

I’ve been busy checking out races for later in the year and have a good idea of the ones I’d like to do once I have summer training under my belt. It’ll be strange to enter a race and be there on the start line with other runners (complete with the aroma of deep heat!), after so long away from it. I can’t wait!

In the meantime, as well as running, I’m continuing to investigate, research and write more and more about running psychology. Hypnosis can help you in so many ways with your running psychology and improving your running performance. Recently I’ve been working with runners on issues like motivation, running anxiety, running confidence and more. Knowing what it takes to train, persist, turn up on the day and complete a race, means I love helping other runners with all aspects of running psychology, such as finding more enjoyment, positivity, confidence and self-belief in their running, as well as improving their running performance.

So here are some running psychology resources that you can start incorporating into your running from today…
