In this episode I speak with Sam Lloyd-Perks, who I spoke with originally from episode 34. Of A Runner\\u2019s Life Podcast. We discuss mental techniques that you can use to race a mile (from 29:16).

\\n

Sam is a British runner and coach who has been competing at a high level since 2010 and in this period has competed in 15 national championships in his home country.

\\n

He moved to the States in 2018 on a scholarship to run in the NCAA at Lincoln Memorial in Tennessee, upon graduating he has transitioned back into road racing and has won numerous races. Recent victories in 2021 also include winning the AAU National Cross Country Championships in Charlotte and taking the win at America\\u2019s toughest road 10k in Roanoke too.

\\n

Sam has personal bests off 15:25 (5k), 32:13 (10k) and 74:13 (Half Marathon).

\\n

In this episode we talk about his shift in mindset and priority with regards to running. Feeling fulfilled and happy with his own journey within the sport, we discuss him moving on to the next chapter of his sporting life.
