While all runners work incredibly hard on their physical fitness, do we spend enough time training our mental fitness to give us the best possible chance of achieving our goals? And what if there were toolkits out there to help us?

Well, we’re in luck! The Sporting Brain Box is a fantastic new product designed by Dr Josephine Perry, Chartered Sport Psychologist at Performance in Mind, and Sarah Dudgeon, Designer at Art of your Success. Not only that, but Josie and Sarah are Serpentine members who have very kindly given up their time to explain their incredibly innovative product, and how we can make best use of it.

You can find out more at https://performanceinmind.co.uk/2019/10/03/press-release-sporting-brain-box/ – Josie and Sarah will also bring some boxes to sell afterwards!

This will be a fascinating talk so please do attend if you can!
