ESSA and Nike Running Think Tank - Keeping Consistency in Training Recording

ESSA and Nike Running are delighted to introduce the “2021 Think Tank Series”. This series of events will bring together leading minds from sports science and physiology to discuss strategies on training and performance improvement and consistency. These learning and discussion opportunities are open to all with a hunger to learn and discuss.

This first event recording will allow you to spend an informative hour listening to our panel discuss strategies to reduce injuries and improve performance. The experts cover everything from mindset to biomechanics at both a professional and amateur level of performance.

This is a recording of the ESSA and Nike Running Think Tank presented on 5 March 2021.
