درباره این اپیزود
I feel so privileged to have had this incredibly honest and vulnerable chat with Miah Noble. As an elite runner and advocate of mental resilience who has had a far from straightforward journey, she shares how her passion for running started, overcoming injuries, and managing her battle with an eating disorder. Miah offers insight on how patience, a positive mindset, and self-trust can transform setbacks into opportunities for personal growth.
Expect to learn:
- How Miah started running, influenced by the pandemic lockdowns and the immediate connection she felt with movement.
- The importance of mindset - focussing on doing her best every day and embracing the journey, not just the outcomes.
- The mental strategies Miah uses to push through pain, exhaustion, and moments of self doubt during races and training.
- The role of the mind in managing disordered eating, recovery, and how to distinguish between the negative and true inner voice.
- The significance of a strong foundation, patience in training and respecting the physical demands of running to prevent injuries.
- Miah's current focus on rebuilding her body post-injury, balancing training with self-care, and her optimistic outlook for the future.
