• Different types of fatigue: mental and physical
• Training for a road race vs trail race and how pacing works with each, as well differences in recovery for each. 
• How your body handles hard surfaces during road races compared to the uneven terrain of trails and how your body mechanics are different. 
• Training cycles throughout the seasons (from extreme cold to extreme heat) and how you transition between them and begin anew with each season. 
• Training gear- learning about shoes like Altras which have zero drop and toe boxes, to hearing about how arm sleeves generate a cooling effect (for hot runs) and a warming effect (for cold runs)

Being a tough year with additional stresses on top of an already overwhelming situation means sleep can often be lost…but it is the one thing that we know would help us. Being a former insomniac, I know the frustration going to bed early, yet being unable to switch your brain off can bring. These Momentous Elite Sleep capsules are fantastic and contain Melatonin, Magtein® (Magnesium L-threonate), and Wild Jujube Seed Extract which together will help reduce nighttime anxiety, gently fall asleep and improve circadian rhythm to achieve higher quality sleep.
