This month’s Soul Sister Sessions episode focuses on racing and competition. Abbey and Julia recorded in person in Boston, ahead of Abbey’s upcoming local race (please note that Abbey was required to pass 2x negative COVID tests to attend and compete, amongst other specific guidelines that the race organisers put in place).
This conversation answers a range of listener questions regarding racing, and covers the following topics:
- Preparing for a race and dealing with negative thoughts
- The W.O.O.P. method of race preparation
- Managing pre-race sleep
- Rituals vs Routines
- Visualisation and ‘patience buckets’
- Having race plans and dealing with race tactics
- Their thoughts on racing during COVID-19
- Breathing and breathing regulation
- Check in and what’s next for Abbey and Julia

Unlike most insoles, Currex insoles are both designed to be incredibly comfortable in your shoe, as well as providing stability and support to aid you in your daily activity. Designed by German sports scientists, Currex is the first insole brand to provide dynamic arch support, and offers the largest line of sport/activity specific insoles (running, cycling, soccer cleats, walking and more). The insoles are thin and low profile, and deliver maximum support and comfort, providing a range of functional benefits. They reduce foot pressure providing additional relief for your feet, and can be cut to custom fit your shoes. Currex stands behind their product, and offers a 60 day warranty, even if you have custom cut your insoles.
