It has been a busy month for articles in the UK media about In The Zone. Athletics Weekly has this week printed a big feature about how the greats of the 400m hurdles perform at the limit - from Positive Mental Attitude to racing in blissful silence in a packed stadium. The piece includes extracts from my interviews with legendary hurdlers Edwin Moses, Nawal El Moutawakel, David Hemery and Felix Sanchez.

Then there are not one but two articles in cycling magazines out now. Cycling Weekly has a feature on what we can all learn from Paralympians including my interview with Alex Zanardi plus fresh material from Jon-Allan Butterworth, German star Andrea Eskau and Team GB's John Lenton. This month's Cyclist also has an extended extract from In The Zone featuring insights from Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton, Nadia Comaneci, Jan Frodeno, Franz Klammer, Steve Redgrave, Michael Phelps and Novak Djokovic.

Finally we are honoured that Feedspot has included this website in its top 40 Sports Psychology blogs on the web - at number n-n-n-n-nineteen. You can see the medal of honour at the bottom of the sidebar to the right...

London's Evening Standard newspaper last week featured an interview I did with the rising star of global athletics, Wayde van Niekerk. The South African runner delivered the standout performance of the 2016 Rio Olympics by setting a new 400m world record of 43.03s. Yet he has maintained the rare ability to combine blistering self-confidence on the track with humility off it.

“It’s a humbling feeling to break the record," says van Niekerk. "But, at the same time, it feels like a stepping stone to so much more. As an athlete at the age of 25 there is more I want to achieve and there is so much more motivation and hunger to keep on performing well.”

Now, as Usain Bolt exits stage left, van Niekerk has the chance to fill the void as the great hope for the sport - starting with a potential 200m/400m double at this week's World Athletics Championships in London.
