Season 5 Episode 4 of the Kathmandu Coast to Coast Podcast, powered by Team CP

Episode 4 of this season is all about managing your expectations.

First up we are joined by Paula Rule from The Mental Edge. A big source of nerves in the lead-up to the Coast to Coast and standing on the start line comes from the expectations of others. For those at the top of the field, it could be through media and sponsors but for most of us, there is a perceived expectation from friends and family. These may be to win, to achieve a good result in your category or to complete the event. Paula will offer some advice for athletes on how to manage these expectations.

Ben Jordan is also on the show. While most events these days can be done solo where there is one transition and an athlete can turn up with their gear and go for it. The Kathmandu Coast to Coast is different as there are some tricky logistics spread across over 200kms of windy New Zealand Roads. Ben was one of Team CP's supported athletes in 2023, so we are going to have a chat with him about his experience and what tips he has for others.

We also chat with Alice Mullins, who is lining up with the elites this year in the Longest Day. Alice will give us an insight into her strategies around how to manage personal expectations.

Stay tuned for an action-packed season!
