Landon Hildebrand is an Edmonton-based Registered Psychologist who loves working with athletes. As a trail runner himself, he can relate to his competitive clients and help them develop mental tools to thrive in their sporting environments. He and his wife own and operate Approach Psychology in the heart of Edmonton, but they can often be found sponsoring/volunteering at local ultramarathon races. How cool would it be to roll up to an aid station that not only offers physical aid, but mental & emotional aid as well?!

If you want to learn to perform better under pressure, then this is the conversation for you. We cover:

  • What mental resilience is and how it differs from “positive thinking”
  • The importance of knowing your why
  • How our attachment style & self-talk impact the way we handle stress
  • How to tap into joy as a motivator
  • Why he has a gut reaction to the phrase “Running is my therapy”
  • And how to work through common scenarios a runner may face such as taper tantrums, pre-race nerves, and pushing through when a race gets hard.

Landon brings a refreshing amount of humour to this important topic and I hope it helps you to put some of his great advice into action in your own running life.
