The controllables during a tough run:

→ Slowing your pace instead of stopping

→ Adjusting your goal instead of abandoning it

→ Focusing on the next mile, not the remaining miles

→ Choosing empowering self-talk over criticism

You can’t control when the wall hits. You CAN control how you talk yourself through it.

That choice? That’s mental toughness in action.
