Mental Performance Coaching for Runners | Virtual
I provide virtual mental performance coaching for runners who want to improve their performance using mental strategies, foster a healthy relationship with running, and increase overall happiness and life satisfaction.
Many runners I have worked with initially seek therapy for disordered eating and body image concerns. As therapy progresses, a shared desire often becomes clear: they don’t want to quit running—they want to regain their love of running in a way that feels balanced, sustainable, and supportive of their physical and mental well-being.
Through this work, I developed a focused specialty in providing mental performance coaching for runners, particularly those who are high-achieving, perfectionistic, and accustomed to pushing themselves hard both in training and in life.
Mental performance coaching for runners often includes:
Mental mindset strategies to improve race day performances
Anxiety management, including training, performance, and race-related stress
Perfectionism and high achievement patterns common among endurance athletes
Reducing burnout and increasing joy of running
My approach integrates evidence-based mental strength strategies with an understanding of the psychological demands unique to runners. This is not solely sports psychology focused on performance outcomes—it is coaching that supports the whole person, both on and off the run.
All sessions are offered via secure telehealth, allowing runners in to access specialized mental performance coaching without the constraints of commuting or geographic location. Virtual coaching is especially well-suited for runners balancing training schedules, work demands, and family life.
Whether you are:
Returning to running after burnout, injury, or disordered eating
Struggling with anxiety, self-criticism, or rigid training expectations
Feeling disconnected from the joy that once came from running
Or seeking greater balance, calm, and fulfillment in both running and life
mental performance coaching for runners can help.
With the right support, you can cultivate a relationship with running—and with yourself—that feels powerful, flexible, sustainable, and meaningful.
