Powerful Running Mantras That’ll Give You a Spark

Feel free to use these running mantras the next time you need a spark

If you see a runner’s lips moving, but not saying anything, chances are they’re reciting a mantra. They might be using their running mantra to get them through a tough point or to fight that little voice urging them to stop. Running mantras could even be used to remind a runner of what they’re trying to accomplish. Whatever the reason, runners recite these to give them a psychological boost. And it works! We asked for what you rely on in an Instagram post. Feel free to use the responses below!
