In episode 378 of the Real Life Runners podcast, we introduce 'The Gap and the Gain,' a powerful concept derived from the book of the same name by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. This episode delves into how focusing on the gains rather than the gaps can dramatically improve not only your running performance but also your overall satisfaction in life. We discuss the mental shifts required to appreciate how far you've come rather than how far you have to go. We offer insights from personal experiences, relating this framework to various aspects of life, including relationships and personal goals. The episode emphasizes the importance of gratitude, positive thinking, and mental resilience in achieving long-term success and happiness.
