This week I’m returning to a podcast that I recorded in March 2021 with my brother Jonathan. In the podcast, we talk about self-compassion, which is a subject that is not usually linked with endurance sports. However, if you pay close attention you'll discover that far from being something light and fluffy it's really important if you want to develop the resilience and mental toughness that will help you to thrive as a human and an athlete.

During our chat we discuss:

Jonathan explains what self-compassion is and why it's different from self-pity and self-indulgence.

The 3 key components of self-compassion

How self-compassion creates healthy behaviours and has positive long term benefits

Resilience and ‘bouncebackability’

Self-criticism is NOT a motivator and why positive self-talk is better

When you feel under pressure the 2 questions that you must ask yourself

How to practice self-compassion
