In this episode, we speak with Dr. Lottie Williams, the Femmi psychologist who specializes in sports psychology, to explore the multifaceted nature of pain, particularly in the context of running. We discuss the biological and psychological aspects of pain, the concept of the 'pain cave' in endurance sports, and how childhood experiences shape our relationship with pain. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding pain as a complex signal rather than something to fear, and the need for a balanced approach to pushing limits in sports, especially for young athletes.

We explore the complexities of pain in endurance sports, discussing the mental and physical aspects of pushing through discomfort.
