## My name is Tanya. I am a long-distance runner, bodybuilder, and physical therapist. I started my career as a professional triathlete in 2005 and have since become obsessed with training my brain as well as my body. When it comes to competitive sports, the mind needs just as much attention as the body does for success to be achieved. With this article I will attempt to share some of the mental techniques that have helped me excel within fitness competitions. This will not be an in depth workout plan; rather it will be a brief list of mental exercises, techniques, and tricks we can use to improve our confidence and belief in ourselves. Stick with it: When I first started getting into this sport, I was definitely more athletic than the average person. However, my body would often make up for my lack of natural athleticism with sheer willpower. It is important that we believe in ourselves; however; if we try too hard to believe in ourselves we may begin to doubt our self-worth and confidence. It is better that you exercise consistency over believing yourself on day one and then doing everything possible to prove yourself every day after. Exercise Consistency: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit." -Aristotle I often highly recommend that you train three times per week. It may seem like a lot, but it only takes up about 15-20 minutes of your time to hit the gym. This is perfect because you have the opportunity to work on your technique at each session while still getting in a workout. I always encourage my clients to view this as a "mini-fitness session".

It is better that you exercise consistency over believing yourself on day one and then doing everything possible to prove yourself every day after. Consistency pays off: Consistency is the key when it comes to training for an endurance sport like triathlon or long distance running. While consistency is important within all areas of life, it is crucial that our life's objectives are realistic and attainable. For example, if you want to run a half-marathon in 2 months, don't give up on day one. I recommend that you work on your weaknesses at first while still maintaining your fitness level by running 3-4 times per week (weekends included), focusing on new exercises or methods of training for each new session.
