This week we have multiple XTERRA World Champion Lesley Paterson and her husband Simon Marshall join us from sunny San Diego. Lesley and Simon's brilliant book The Brave Athlete: Calm the F*ck Down and Rise to the Occasion is a must read if you want to find that mental edge, and this is a must-listen episode. We get advice from Lesley and Simon about how to be at your best mentally in training and racing.  We also hear about the art of caber tossing and why Lesley had a poo transplant. Yes, the interview is that wide-ranging that you will learn and laugh, probably at the same time, before going to buy their book!
