Talk by Stuart Mills Seven Times Beachy Head Marathon Winner, Uckfield Civic Centre organised by Uckfield Runners

I attended this and it was a very good talk. We had an amazing turn out with about 70 attendees from clubs in the area. The talk theme was mental focus and 'postivity' in races to maximise performance. In particular that you slow down in relation to Rating of Perceived Excertion rather than a purely physical measurement and the concept of Race Focus Energy: as you run this depletes againt rather then purely physical aspects. Obviously you need to do the training but if you have the right mental attitude you can run to the best of your ability. Well done to Peter Wilkes for organsising it.
