Why should runners visualize?

Visualization is the practice of imagining yourself performing a skill or navigating a scenario with multiple senses. You're seeing, feeling, and even hearing the moment like a mental dress rehearsal. Visualization can help runners gain that performance edge by helping you:

Build confidence and mental strength

Mentally prepare for obstacles/worst case scenarios

Keep calm under pressure
