This week Jon and Amie, Neil and Hannah, sit down to debrief Jon's South Downs Way 100, taking a look at the planning, crewing and pacing strategies that helped make the day a success. We review what worked, what didn't, and the lessons learned from managing nutrition, hydration, heat, diabetes, chafing, and the inevitable highs and lows of a 24-hour effort.

We discuss the role played by Jon's crew and pacers, why good communication can be one of the most powerful performance tools in an ultra, and how small logistical details can make a big difference over 100 miles.
