James Cracknell's Marathon Des Sable
A fabulous documentary that shows the challenge of managing heat stress. It
shows the mental and physical challenges that this involves. James tests out
the drinks and nutrition and the psychology of how diet influences performance
is very interesting.
Youtube and social media are fabulous ways of sharing information. There are so many fabulous clips and programmes available. The only thing I find it knowing whether they are any good.
And so what I have done is selected a few videos, and provided a brief comment on why this is useful.
If you know of good videos, then get in touch. Use the link to share your ideas and we can discuss it further. Speak to us on facebook
