Explore meditation and ultras with me.

Some years ago now after wonderful inspiration imparted to me by spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy, and following on from conversations with fellow students, I became inspired to swim the English Channel. What started as a once in a lifetime kind of endeavour then turned into 11 crossings over the years. For a change from swimming I then became interested in multi-day events, particularly the 10 day races organised in New York and Bulgaria (nine completed to date).  For years I have kept notes and training diaries with what at the time seemed like my little pearls of wisdom! I found that certain themes came up again and again both during events and in the training.  The following are some articles to try and narrow things down into some basic ideas that may be of interest to others attempting longer distance events.
