Flying solo this week and I thought I would take the opportunity to talk about a couple of areas that I've heard people talking about

Ultrarunning is as much a mental game as it is physical so I cover mindset so I look at:

• A working definition of mindset
• How you create evidence of the person you are
• How you maintain focused attention on your behaviours
• How mindset is important for resilience in ultras

It's also the time of the season when many people have done a couple of races one of which might have been their longer 'A' race.

What happens then?

Yup, it's time to recover so I cover some of the basics in terms of:

• Recovery during training blocks
• Recovery after big races, especially ones that are harder than you've done before
• The role of the nervous system and Heart Rate Variation (HRV)
• Using metrics on your fitness trackers
• Some (very important) basics on recovery
• Ice baths
