In Episode 3, Phoebe Wright discusses dealing with anxiety from focusing on details, keeping a journal and her interesting experience with TSA
Phoebe Wright is an elite 800m runner with Nike and is currently based out of Seattle, where she trains with the Brooks Beasts Track Club. She hails from the state of Tennessee and was a 5x NCAA while attending the University of Tennessee. Phoebe is also the newest member of Team Run Gum!!
In this episode, we go into depth about the struggles she had when focusing on the little details instead of the bigger picture and how this year she is only worried about her two main things; her mindset, and the work she has put in the last few months.
If you are like me, you often let the little things control your life, which is why you spend some time and listen to how Phoebe is breaking this habit and what she does on a daily basis to stay focused.
