Thanks for the question, Sam as athletes. We spend so much time focused on our physical training programs and spend very little time on the mental side of things Yogi, Berra, played with some of the of the percentages on how much sport is physical and mental. But I really think in order to get the best out of ourselves. It's 100% mental and 100% physical. We have to work both of those aspects. Every day when we think our way towards something, it its way into fruition whether histo, chemically, adrenal e, neuromuscular lie, so the more we can feed ourselves with positivity and encouragement and be our greatest cheerleaders, the better we are going to perform

Hi Sam, great question. Of course, stamina and mental strength, are very key factors in any long distance event and I don't see a point. Why would those to work against each other? Very kind of working together? Always, and it's kind of a circle. The battery is your stamina, the better and more confident, you feel, the more you believe you can succeed in a long-distance race or even long distance. Ink endurance training and the more, you believe you can do it and you are ready for it. The better your stamina gets its so much interconnected that it just work in a nice sink. You can be, you can be having the best stamina in the world. But if you don't believe in yourself and in your abilities, you will never succeed to your full potential and it's the same for your Unborn. Unbelievably mental strength, unless you have the training done and you have some kind of stamina. It never were, and it's not never enough to just believe in yourself. So work on both continuously every long run. You do realize how well you ran, how far you are in your body, co-opted it how your body, reacted how your body recovered, realize that how good you are. But that you are Able to do it. And every time when you realize that repeat the to yourself before your next session on during your next session and you will run better and it's the same for the race situation. Every time you enter a long-distance race. Remember all those long sessions and the confidence you gain from through those sessions and and selling in your next race.
