The Work Is Done: Closing in on the West Highland Way Race

The Work Is Done: Only Days Until the West Highland Way Race

With less than a couple of weeks to go until the West Highland Way Race, many runners find themselves asking the same question:

"Have I done enough?"

In this episode, Paul reflects on the final days before race day and explores why the focus now should shift away from training and towards preparation, mindset and decision-making.

The reality is that almost all of the fitness you'll take to the start line is already built. The work is done.

So what actually matters now?

Drawing on his experience of running the race ten times, winning it, crewing it, coaching athletes through it, and obsessing over it for years, Paul shares some thoughts on:

• Why goals matter more than most runners realise

• Understanding the difference between competing and completing

• Finding your deeper reason for being on the start line

• Identifying the things most likely to limit your performance

• Why decision-making becomes one of the most important skills in a 100-mile race
