If you don't like the channel, change the station. Dr. Lara has helped athletes turn the channel or the volume on their mindset strength. One aspect of mental strength is that it can be trained and I also believe it can ebb and flow throughout training cycles.  Today, Dr. Lara shares what happens in the mind after training and racing an A goal race, how to distinguish burnout symptoms, the importance of a good partnership with a coach, and more. Let's dive in. Contact Dr. Lara here or through her Instagram account. DOWNLOAD A CUSTOM TRAINING PLAN: Are you interested in leveling up your running this year?

How can coaches help these athletes honor their feelings and move into a new season of running? What are the Marathon Blues, can any runner from the 5k to ultra experience these feelings?  The association humans have as being a runners is HIGH, if a runner reaches their A+ goal or reached their big running goal, like running a certain time or running the Boston Marathon, how can that athlete shift their mindset to still enjoy running? “TRAINING BURNOUT”  Overtraining, often referred to as burnout, is when the amount of training you do exceeds your recovery time, or when you push the body more than it can take with the amount of rest it's given. Symptoms can be physical or psychological -  Chronic fatigue. Poor or worsening performance. What are the symptoms, flags, and signals we should be looking out for with training burnout - both as a runner for ourselves, a coach-to-athlete relationship, and our friends in the run club? How can a runner distinguish between burn out and just needing a flexible schedule, or other feelings? PERFECTIONISM runs deep in running - after all, some of us are type A. How does a runner who has strong perfectionism find a way to balance training, racing, and finding the joy on the days that don't go their way and avoid burnout?  Have you ever seen an instance where a runner throws their hands in the air and says, no for me. I'm type A - I need every workout, pace, and week to feel perfect. I can't adjust to running on effort, or needing to hit paces, so I'm not going to train. These runners often doing what they love, which is running. Are there any mindset tools that can help a runner who thinks this way? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1210115349/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1210115349/support

It's one of our all-time favorite episodes after a whirlwind week! The main topic was David's race at the McDowell Mountain 50 Miler, which we use to talk about a ton of different lessons for training and racing. We're talking pre-race meals, pacing, dealing with cramps, what comes after "failure," fueling and hydration, pacing, and supershoes for trails. Plus lots of training thoughts! Outside of running, we touch on everything from how to think about race trips as vacations to the perils of popping champagne bottles. Warning: if you don't shake the bottle enough, you are risking unleashing the cork only to have a trickle emerge, all while the crowd laughs. Let's all use the holidays to practice this skill! Leave out some bottles for Santa. And there were so many other awesome discussions! Topics: Leo's first words, Spotify Wrapped love, granny gear climbing, dealing with adversity in races, food doping, stories from the California International Marathon, training for marathons, more UTMB controversy, AI content at Sports Illustrated, follow-up on post-exercise ketones, NCAA champion training approaches, shoe previews from The Running Event, and hot takes.

He also created one of the most popular obstacle-race series in the world, Spartan Race. He's convinced a community of more than 10 million people to voluntarily embrace the experience of “tough fitness.”“I want you to give me the worst stuff you got,” Joe says. “The turmoil, the pain, the suffering, and [then] give me the strength I need to deal with it. Just keep it coming. And so that became the Spartan prayer, like give me the shitty days, give me the failure, because I know I'm going to become better at dealing with that.”It's not until you reach the edge and get through it that you realize how much you're capable of. But does tough mean resilient? And does that level of influence translate to family dynamics? That's the conversation we dig into specifically for parents and kids. Joe's always had a passion for endurance and activities that push his mental and physical limits. During the pandemic, he looked closer to home and found ways he could be a better parent. He believes how you react to challenging situations defines you and your family.His latest book, “10 Rules for Resilience: Mental Toughness for Families,” talks about defining and creating resilience. “This book was born in 2020, while I watched as families all over the globe faced the discomforts thrust at them and realized how insanely unprepared most people are for difficulty.”During this time in our history, the pressure, stress and unpredictability in bigger amounts than ever made clear that it was essential to develop more resilience. Joe's term, “True Resilience” describes a body and mind carved out of hard work, challenge, and failure. He says it takes True Resilience to approach overwhelming situations with calm and confidence, to not get rattled, anxious, or angry, and even to embrace failure, setbacks, and redirections.It also means listening and responding with intention: “Much of your success will depend on your ability to discern what sparks enthusiasm and motivation in your child,” Joe says. “Find your kid's flow.”Here's some of what you'll find in “10 Rules for Resilience: Mental Toughness for Families:”Proven techniques from clinical research and experience to set the whole family up for better, more effective coping skills.Family activities that supplement each rule of resilience and help you put the reading material into real-life action.A values exercise to help your family create a solid vision statement.A five-step model to increase your fear IQ.Listen on as Joe shares the benefits of training your kids in hard work, traveling as a family, and pushing yourself to the limit as a parent. Note: Joe co-wrote “10 Rules” with Dr. Lara Pence, a clinical psychologist and Chief Mind Doc at Spartan.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“The thing about negative thoughts, though, is that they can become barriers to us moving forward and achieving the things that we want, when we listen to them. Negative thoughts are a bit, a little bit like seeds, right? We plant them in our brain. But if we attend to them, right? And if we water them through that attention, they will grow and they will spread. So we actually want to work on some different skills, where we take the negative thoughts and we shift them, or transform them, or we move away from them altogether,” says Dr. Lara Pence, Spartan's Chief Mind Doctor. In this episode, we look back to some great episodes for help dealing with negative thoughts so we're prepared going into the New Year. We look to Sal Di Stefano, Nate Carr, and Dr. Lara Pence to help us fight our demons. In this episode you'll learn… - Impact of training with a negative mindset of yourself instead of a negative one - You don't invite negative thoughts, they just come in. Prepare and train yourself for them - NO means “Next opportunity” - Counter-thinking negative thoughts, acknowledging they are only thoughts, and removing judgment about the thought If you want to watch the full episodes, Mind Pump's Sal Di Stefano Will Change the Way You Think About Diet & Exercise - https://youtu.be/4KB__c79XuU Olympic Wrestler & Coach Nate Carr Explains How to Overcome “NO” ep.017 - https://youtu.be/SdcJVGVI_YM Letting Go of Negative Thoughts / SPARTAN MIND  045 - https://youtu.be/iIHPJiCNUUA   SPONSORS This episode of Spartan Up is brought to you by FITAID and Athletic Brewing Company.   Race dirty, recover clean with FITAID Sports Recovery Drink.

Lisa is joined by Joe De Sena who talks about his latest book, .10 Rules for Resilience: Mental Toughness for Families. Joe De Sena's new book, 10 Rules for Resilience: Mental Toughness for Families [HarperOne; October 19, 2021], is a guidebook for becoming more resilient, so that we can raise more resilient kids. Built from life but backed by clinical experience, Joe and his co-author, Dr. Lara Pence, team up to provide a framework that will help you grow into the best version of yourself and develop the skills needed to parent with resilience as your compass. It's a no B.S. guide that will leave you feeling more confident, capable, and courageous in the most important job of your life: being a parent.   From his childhood in Queens, New York, to his role as founder and CEO of the most grueling endurance races in the world, Joe De Sena has spent his life running toward challenge and discomfort. Why? Because how we react to challenging situations defines us and our families. The only tools we have as humans to survive the many peaks and valleys of a full life are preparedness, health, leadership, and most importantly, resilience.   Why do so many of us struggle to finish things we start, delay gratification, and protect our health—and why do our kids continue to struggle in every facet of life? Because we haven't shown them a path to resilience, and we haven't fought for it ourselves.   In 10 Rules for Resilience Joe outlines his 10 principles for building True Resilience—a term he uses for a body and mind that have been carved out of hard work, challenge, and failure. It takes True Resilience to approach overwhelming situations with calm and confidence, to not get rattled, anxious, or angry, and even to embrace failure, setbacks, and redirections.   In this, his most timely and motivating book yet, Joe defines what so many of us struggle to understand: the difference between what is difficult and what is desperate. We wrongly think that when we struggle, we are vulnerable. The truth? We need difficult situations to grow, become strong, and ultimately, survive and thrive in the real world.   10 Rules for Resilience teaches how to parent from the position of True Resilience and change your family's life, including techniques such as:  • A framework for living, being, and parenting that will prepare you and your family for anything.  • Proven techniques derived from clinical research and experience to set the whole family up for better, more effective coping skills.  • Family activities that supplement each rule of resilience and help you put the reading material into real-life action.  • A robust values exercise to help your family create a solid vision statement.  • A five-step model to increase your fear IQ.   10 Rules for Resilience ultimately proves that by not giving ourselves and our kids the ongoing gift of challenge, failure, and hard work is to deprive ourselves of one the most satisfying and rewarding parts of the human experience—the strength to stand back up again after we fall. Joe De Sena is the founder and CEO of Spartan and the Death Race, the world's leading endurance sports and wellness brand with a community of over 10 million strong. He is the New York Times bestselling author of three books, Spartan Up!, Spartan Fit, and The Spartan Way. De Sena also hosts the Spartan Up!

“When things wrap around in our head all the time, and it's not something we write down, it can play mind games with us. I mean, talk about bumping up your mental game, right? It's why journaling can be so useful. Because when you take what's in your head and you put it in your hand, you can really begin to evaluate, like, ‘Oh, is what I'm thinking in my head reasonable? Oh my gosh, this is the most unreasonable thing on the planet,''' says Dr. Lara Pence, clinical psychologist, and chief mind doctor at Spartan.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Hidden Potential Podcast! In this episode, your host Sarah Saffari has an interesting conversation with Dr. Lara Pence about the possibility of changing our current patterns of actions and thoughts to turn them into something that serves us. Dr. Lara explains that it is possible to become a different person by simply being aware of our current behaviors, understanding them, and unlocking the mechanisms that make them happen.   “There are certain templates that can be created for individuals at an early age […]. And these templates can really be like guide maps for how an individual works, how they think, how they feel, and how they behave.” – Dr. Lara Pence   In this episode, you will learn more in depth the steps to catalyze this change: be willing to get curious – unpack yourself and your feelings because you may not know all the answers about yourself; understand your values – be aligned with what you believe to be the most important things in life; explore – look at the reasons why you think you are not making the change you know you need to do. Why is your current behavior good for you? What are the benefits of being stuck and not changing?   “When we are curious about ourselves we step into a process of vulnerability because not only do we not know the answer, but we're taking a risk and exposing ourselves to something that we might not like about ourselves.” – Dr. Lara Pence   Dr. Lara also explains some really important insights about values in life. One of the reasons why you might be feeling unhappy, trapped, and having all kinds of difficulties is because you might be misaligned with your values. Spirituality, safety, family, friendship, freedom, faith, success: these are all examples of principles we might consider as super important. If we are not applying them to our routines, we might feel disconnected and out of balance.   About Dr. Lara Pence Dr. Lara Pence is a licensed clinical psychologist and owner/founder of LIGHFBOX. Having worked with individuals, families, and couples over the last fifteen years, Dr. Lara was able to recognize that when we feel the need to be curious, we feel the need to change. By following this approach, she has built her practice to help other people be more than what they think is possible.   Key Timestamps [2:42] – How Dr. Lara developed her skills as a business owner. [4:24] – Understanding our childhood patterns and how they affect us in adulthood. [22:21] – Simple steps to catalyze your behavior change. [30:10] – Spirituality and faith as important values.  [35:44] – Physical sensations can be a sign that you are misaligned with your values. [40:13] – Secondary gain: what are you getting from staying stuck in life? [50:00] – Dr. Lara explains that we are all hyper connected into something. [55:31] – Why it's important to know about therapy and psychology.   Related Links CEOwned Free Mini Course LIGHFBOX Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza   Episode Resources Erik Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development   Connect with us!
