Welcome back to the Pyllon ultra Pod. 

If you've listened to the last few episodes you will already be aware that we are focusing on confidence and self belief in this series of short podcasts. 

In the last episode Paul cut straight to the point on positive self-talk. It's pretty easy to say to yourself you are doing great or you can run better than anyone in the race - but it's much more difficult to start to believe it!

In this episode James talks less about confidence and much more about how you can get better at embracing discomfort.

Q. How does the thought of discomfort feel to you?

• Negative

Your own comfort-zone isn't static. How you feel today isn't necessarily how you will feel in week's time and James compares it to an elastic. It needs to be stretched in order for it to handle a greater load. But you also can't push it too far, too quickly.

Finally, James challenges you to identify where your ambitions lie and what discomfort you will have to accept and embrace. It's s super-helpful podcast workshop!! :)
