The Runners High: Why Training for a Marathon Makes You a Better Person

Activity: Other › Types of Public engagement and outreach - Public lecture/debate/seminar

Description

The Psychology Department at Bangor runs a module for psychology students that teaches them how to run a marathon! Whilst this might seem a little crazy, the ability to achieve a difficult and long-term goal is really down to factors in the mind: willpower, planning, overcoming difficult challenges, building resilience, having the right mindset. This talk will introduce you to the module and also tell you why you’ll become a better person if you completed it (and the marathon, of course)!
