The 19th edition of the Tata Mumbai Marathon, a World Athletics Elite Label road race, is set to be held on January 21. Across a distance of 42.195 kilometres, the international marathon is among the largest in Asia, and welcomes participants from around the world. Needless to say, many Mumbaikars are committed to taking part in this annual sporting event. While every runner has mastered their customised training regimen to keep their physical health in check, developing strategies to aid the mental heavy lifting might be overlooked by some.
