FAQ

What is mental training?

Mental training uses various techniques to improve psychological readiness and performance by building mental skills like self-awareness, resilience, confidence, and focus.

Is this only for marathon runners?

No, Kairo's mental training plan can be customized for all athletes and for any sport. If you're an endurance athlete, we can create plans for shorter races, Ironman, and Hyrox competition.

Why should I visualize as a runner?

We love this explanation from Runner's World: “Visualization can help runners to build confidence by imagining yourself running well with good, smooth form and a positive attitude,” says Shira Oretzky, Ph.D., a clinical and sport psychologist in Del Mar, California. Whether your goal is improving speed, running a longer distance, or achieving a new personal record, seeing yourself do so ahead of time in your mind helps you believe that it’s possible.
