Episode 2: When imposed limitations can become an advantage

These shows are about the ultra life but not only relevant to this great sport. The hope is you can take as much from this into your day to day as you can on your long runs on the trails.

In this show the pair discuss:

• How important is adaptability as a trait and to a team
• How to identify it when speaking to athletes
• Emotional intelligence and the part it plays
• Where it ranks against other skills
• The validity of mental toughness as a catch all statement for runners to work on
• How James had to adapt his race plan at the 2018 European championships
• Paul’s own adaptability experience and how it can be developed
• The story of jazz pianist who adapted to create a work of art in the genre
