How to stay MOTIVATED for winter ultra training (plus how to bend training around illness)

We’re back with utterly, ultraly brilliant coach Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching to talk about how to stay motivated for ultra training during the winter, whether that’s for an early race (like from Jan to March) or just keeping things ticking over until Spring. We also cover what to do when you inevitably get one of those winter colds, covid or worse - the flu. When should you push on through and when should you just give yourself a break? Tim will reveal all in this chat!
