Episode Synopsis
Jack Moody is back hosting this week and we catch up on the racing from the weekend. We revisit our interview with Dr. Philip Hurst, former middle-distance runner and current academic from the School of Psychology and Life Sciences at Canterbury University. We discuss the intriguing world of the 'placebo effect', its negative counterpart - the 'nocebo effect' and their impact on sports performance. Drawing from his research and experience, Dr. Hurst shares the significance of these effects in the medical world and how they have the potential to shape athlete performance.
