54. How Doubt Shows Up in Every Training Phase (& What to Do About It)
Why does doubt keep showing up during training, even when you’re doing everything right? You build belief in yourself, only to have it knocked down again by a new wave of doubt that makes you question your progress. In this episode, I break down the hidden pattern behind training doubt and why it can make you feel unprepared, no matter how much work you’ve put in.
You’ll learn how doubt shows up differently in the build, peak, and taper phases, and why it doesn’t actually mean anything has gone wrong. When you understand what’s really happening, you can stop reacting to doubt and start trusting your training. This is the key to showing up on race day feeling ready, even when doubt is still there.
