Description

Resilience isn’t something you’re born with — it’s something you build through motion, repetition, and reflection. 💥


In this episode of the InnerFight Endurance PodcastRob Jones and Dan Bagley unpack the science and practice behind mental toughness and refocusing under pressure. Whether you’re pushing through a long run, preparing for a race, or navigating life’s daily challenges, this conversation offers a clear playbook for staying composed, confident, and in control.


They break down the Four Pillars of Mental Toughness — Challenge, Confidence, Commitment, and Control — and explore how each one shapes your ability to handle setbacks, build self-belief, and follow through on your goals.


You’ll also learn the R4 Principle — React, Relax, Renew, Refocus — a simple but powerful framework to help you reset when things don’t go as planned. From practical mindset tools to real-life endurance stories, Rob and Dan share strategies to strengthen your mental game both on and off the course.


🎙️ Tune in to discover:

  • How to break big goals into smaller, achievable steps

  • Why resilience grows through action, not motivation

  • Simple cues to refocus during tough moments

  • How reflection builds lasting confidence


Because endurance isn’t just about your body — it’s about your mind.
