I've made more than my fair share of mistakes in races. Today I share 5 of the best (or worst depending on how you look at it!).

From collapsing at mile 25 of a marathon to running aimless laps around a motor racing circuit in pursuit of a time I couldn't achieve, I share the training, nutrition, mindset and pacing failures that are littered through my running history.

I also offer insight into what I would have done differently, how my coach has helped me and how I help others avoid these failures.
