Before Pip set sail in this year’s Vendée Globe, she worked with Resilient Nutrition to design an on-board meal plan that would help her boost performance and general wellbeing at sea.

I wandered forwards with my search light and saw the sail, flying up in the air, the tack line was broken so the sail was attached only at the top and back corners of the triangle, the only thing stopping the whole sail from wildly flailing around was the furling line hooked under the pulpit, the force of which was bending the metal framework upwards.

Me, I'm counting it in bags of dry underwear - when it's gone it's gone so I need to sail as fast as I change my socks.

One of the incredible things about this last week of racing is how quickly the tempo of the race changes day to day

As the first month of the Vendee Globe 2020 comes to a close and Pip begins her journey across the Southern Ocean, we catch up with Joff Brown (Pip’s technical director) and Paul Larsen (world sailing speed record holder) to find out what they think of the race so far and to discuss some of the challenges Pip will face in the coming weeks...

In this latest blog post Pip’s chiropractor and Sports Therapist, Shelley Davies, shares her rehab and injury prevention programme.
