Helping you to unlock the untapped power of your mind to achieve your true athletic potential.

Description

We train our body through running and gym work, we eat a healthy diet to support our fitness, we spend money on apps such as Strava… but do we train our mental muscles? Some DNFs are due to injury; many DNFs can be due to an unwilling mind. Let me equip you with all the skills needed to turn a negative headspace into a positive one. Sessions are usually race specific and will be a few days before your race. We may look at your identity as a runner, imposter syndrome, what holds you back, and how to creatively re-frame a negative situation into a positive one.

Price

£50 per session
Sessions are around 60 minutes

Client Testimonials

Engaging with Lizzie was one of the best choices I have made since taking up ultra-running. I completely lost my mojo and confidence following an injury in 2025, and had a string of miserable DNFs in races. Lizzie not only guided me in how to change my perspective but gave me actually useable tools to become my own biggest cheerleader in races. I recently completed a 50 mile race, which three months ago would have seemed impossible, and it is no exaggeration to say that without Lizzie it would not have happened. 5*, 10/10, A+

"Lifetime running plans seemingly trashed then mindset training kicked in!" Working with Lizzie has been a genuinely transformative experience. Her personable, intuitive style immediately put me at ease, and she took the time to truly understand the personal challenges I was facing. What stood out most was her ability to guide my thinking toward positivity and practical solutions, using clear processes that helped me shift perspective quickly and confidently. I first approached Lizzie for mindset support around ultra-running, but her coaching became invaluable when I later faced an unforeseen injury that stopped me running full stop. What could easily have led to frustration and demotivation was instead turned into a constructive, hopeful plan. Lizzie helped me reframe the setback, maintain momentum, and stay connected to my goals in a way that felt both empowering and sustainable. I fully recommend both Lizzie and this mindset coaching process. It has supported me through challenge, transition, and growth, and I'm genuinely grateful for the impact it's had. Instead of losing a year of recovery I have gained a year of prep for bigger and better running adventures next year. Thank you Lizzie.

I had a great mindset session with Lizzie the day before a fell race. She took me through the race to think about process goals, and the parts of the race I was worrying about. She helped me come up with some very helpful ideas for my mindset before and during the race, including being in my own bubble at the start, not using every last drop of energy on the uphill, and having something left for the flatter finish. I really enjoyed my race the next day putting all this into practice. I highly recommend Lizzie as a mindset coach.
