#65 Running With Science

It was great to get Craig back on for his hattrick show. This is a topic that we have spoken about in detail and we both have a huge amount of experience both as athletes and coaches.I know don&apos;t like to, and I am almost certain Craig doesn&apos;t like to either but I can admit my best competitive days are behind me and, we both take huge pride in training our members and making sure they are getting the most from their training and when they might need a push to light the flames.Why is this a topic?- Understand your goals and how they relate to your training - You can always adjust and reevaluate your goals but when should that be done Training for health- What are the foundations of training for health. Time invested, frequency and type of training, Training for performance - What are the noticeable differences. Time invested, frequency, volume, type of training, environment, attention to detail and recovery factors.Enjoy the show and don&apos;t forget to go and check  @craigharrimandxb

#59 Finding your fitness mojo with Tarryn Miccoli

I invited John and Charlotte from the wellness theory back on the show to talk about the myth of self-sabotage. The whole idea behind self-sabotage seems to be very common in the health and fitness world, particularly with individuals who are embarking on a new exercise or nutrition regime.I am almost certain you have experienced a point in your life when you go through a period of trying to improve your daily habits only to end up back at square 1 wallowing in self-pity. The most common example I can think of is having a cheat meal (more likely weekend) after a week of rigid dieting and then feeling guilty. So I asked the question, is self sabotage a real thing? If so then how do we stop the vicious cycle? John and Charlotte have a lot of knowledge and bring up some great points around this topic and I think it will help a lot of people when planning for future 'health kicks'.Go and check out @thewellnesstheory for more great content around physical, spiritual, emotional and mental health.

Caroline had a serious accident where she literally broke her body! Left unable to walk and having to go through 14 surgeries to fix her, Caroline then went on to climb mountains and in doing so attempt to break some Guinness world records. In the podcast, she shares some really good advice for anybody who is going through some sort of hardship whether physically or mentally and how you can overcome them.

Ain't no mountain high enough with Caroline Leon

I am back! I took a month off uploading the podcast whilst I was busy recording creating a backlog of podcasts with some great really great guests. I am really excited to share them with you.In this episode, I speak with Micky Burns on some of the myths and misconceptions around metabolism and weight loss. Terms like 'reset metabolism, metabolic damage and boost your metabolism' are often used in health and fitness marketing campaigns to draw peoples attention but the fact of the matter is a lot of the time there is actually no real evidence-based research behind these terms, it's just a way to confuse you and make you believe you are missing the magic formula. Don't get me wrong, there is definitely a lot of truth around slower metabolism and metabolism adaptations but Micky and I discuss other factors that you may need to address before playing the 'slow metabolism card'.Go and check out and follow @mickyburnsptThanks for listening.

Answering your questions with Keith O'Malley- Farrell

I had a great chat today with Helen Farmer on real-life barriers to getting fitter. It was actually nice to chat and share ideas around fitness with someone who is not a coach or in the fitness industry. We spoke a little bit about her own personal health and fitness journey and some fo the barriers that stopped her from taking the first initial steps back into exercising. We also spoke about;- Where should someone start- What keeps her motivated even now- Finding balance in your lifestyle - Worrying about more than just weight on the scale Helen is a radio host on Dubai Eye and also the person behind @themothershipdxb which is a blog/ Instagram writing about day to day life as a mother in Dubai. what I love about Helen's content and the message is that it is truly authentic and gives a good overview of both the good and not so good things that are happening in her life (which is not so common with a typical influencer).Don't forget to go and check her out on Instagram and give her a follow @themothershipdxbThanks for listening.

Real life barriers to getting fitter with Helen Farmer

In this episode;- Why lifting weights will not make you 'bulky'. - The importance of a well-rounded strength program for getting better at life. - Why lifting weights will technically mean you can eat more. If you are a regular listener then you will already know how much of an advocate I am for lifting weights and strength training for almost any goal. When we talk about exercise classes, the majority of people will lean towards high intensity, bodyweight or circuit classes in order to reach their health and fitness goal. On the outside getting out of breath, sweaty and feeling exhausted and the end of training session makes sense to how it might help you reach a goal but are we missing the bigger picture. I invited Kori back on the show for his hat-trick appearance to talk about this in more detail and continue the pursuit of encouraging more people to take up strength training for general health and fitness.  Don't get me wrong there is definitely a time and place for more cardio and high intensity based training however I feel like the convenience and lack of education is sometimes the determining factor which is why your progress might be halted or plateaus.
