MENTAL WELLNESS: LET'S RUN WITH IT
Episode 2: Owning Mindfulness with Brad Stulberg and Kriste Peoples
At Altra, we believe running is a great way to improve both your mental and physical health. We also know it’s not the only way; sometimes you need to talk about it too. Our overall human performance can be dependent on our mental wellness, particularly during times as unpredictable and chaotic as 2020 has seen. With a little help from our friend and human performance researcher, author, and coach, Brad Stulberg, we’re excited to bring you a three-part series, “Mental Wellness: Let’s Run with It,” geared towards just that—mental health awareness and positive self-care.
Brad’s relatable, conversational style makes for engaging chats with some of our Altra athletes, as we discover ways to deal with new daily stresses, ways to build community, and ways to be the best versions of ourselves.

In the second of three episodes, Kriste Peoples and Brad Stulberg move into mindfulness and resilience. They share what mindfulness means to them and what it allows us to do in our lives.
You can have emotions, but they don’t need to have you.
“Hand on heart.” Take a step back and pause.
Get outside of yourself. Find a community to support you.
Stress + Rest = Growth.
Not too hard, not too soft.
Watch the full video below to take a deeper dive into ways to open your up to mindfulness, tell the truth, be self-disciplined, and so much more.
