Controlling Your Mind for Endurance Sports

Triathlon Coach and extreme ultra madman Mark Kleanthous is back on the show, having recently survived the six-day Marathon des Sables in the Sahara Desert and before that Ironman Lake Tahoe, in freezing temperatures.

We’re going to talk about those gruelling exploits and rather fittingly, his new book: Triathlon. The Mental Battle — How to be a Better Athlete by Taking Control of Your Mind.
