    How to go from 50 mile ultras to multi-dayers like the Dragon's Back Race? Coach & Physio Tim Pigott

    Coach & Physio Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching takes us through the physical and mental training jump you need to take to go from happily completing 50+ mile one-day (ish!) ultras, to a 6-day mulit-dayer ultra like the Dragon’s Back Races. Is the preparation and training actually that much different? What key skills do you need to enjoy your transition from single day ultras to mutli-dayers? How do you know how your body will cope with the day after day movement? Nutrition? What about blisters? See this great film on how to prevent and cure ALL types of blisters from Dragon's Back medic Dr Nikki Sommers https://youtube.com/live/fs-Y3qMtGQU Sleep deprivation? Admin at camp? Nutrition before the race - weight loss beforehand? My Dragon's Back SKT films will be sponsored by Harrier trail & ultra running gear.
