This week Jon and Amie catch up on Jon’s training as he builds towards his A-race for the year — the South Downs Way 100.
They chat about managing niggles, improving balance, and making more sustainable shoe choices, as well as their new treadmill set-up to help build endurance, add climbing, and better replicate race conditions.
There’s also a conversation around the mindset work they’ve both been exploring, learning how to understand themselves better and respond more effectively to the inevitable challenges and setbacks that come with training for big races.
