If you struggle like me with being Anxiously Attached, I really think you’ll appreciate my perspective on this video. Sadly there is some audio drift part way through which my Podcast hosting provider was unable to fix. If you notice it I'd advise switching to audio only as it's probably distracting.

My guest today is Myles Rawson aka @findyourstridecoach. Myles is a UK-based running coach and movement specialist who works closely with athletes to improve their running form. He’s also a mentee of world-renowned movement coach Shane Benzie, and brings a fascia-focused approach to posture and performance.In this episode, we dive into Myles’ journey from rugby injuries to obsessively researching biomechanics, and how his work with Shane transformed his understanding of form. We talked about how poor posture could silently be ruining your HYROX time, why barefoot shoes are a non-negotiable, and the huge role your fascia and nervous system play in efficient running.We also got into a live video analysis of myself and my friends Lucy Jackson-Jones and Jade Booth (PFRM Coaching), which is packed with value! Whether you’re chasing a sub-60 or just want to run pain-free, there’s a lot here for you.Hope you enjoy my conversation with Myles Rawson.I'm so excited to tell you about my first ever sponsor Bear Bar, who make the highest quality shower soaps.

We discussed some race-fuelling strategies, looked at previous things I’ve done in my own race-fuelling, and got into the psychological side of nutrition and emotional regulation around that.We also explored the top strategies you can implement in your HYROX World’s prep-nutrition, sleep, middle-of-the-night feeding-all sorts of good stuff to help you optimise your performance.

My guest today is Ellie Crabtree — a weight loss coach helping women transform both their minds and bodies. Ellie came second in the NABBA (National Amateur Body-Builders Association) Britain's Miss Novice Toned Figure, and her story is one of grief, rebuilding, and finding purpose. After losing her dad at just 19, she spiralled into emotional eating and isolation. What followed was a remarkable journey — not just of weight loss, but of self-discovery, discipline, and healing. We talk about food as comfort, the emotional crash after competition, why control can be both a shield and a struggle, and how she now helps other women with their own weight loss and mindset journeys.I hope you enjoy my conversation with Ellie Crabtree.I'm so excited to tell you about my first ever sponsor Bear Bar, who make the highest quality shower soaps.

Welcome back to the podcast. This episode is split into two very distinct parts: one long, meandering reflection, and then tools and insights.So, if you're new to the podcast and you don't give a flying [expletive] about my experience or internal state — the stuff I've been working through — then skip to the bit that I've labelled "lesson."That part is about how to ensure we don't spend too much time in one particular mode or zone — it's about strategising your life and your calendar, similar to how you'd train, so you don't get burnt out.If you're an OG and actually interested in the deeper, more reflective side of me, then listen to the beginning — it's much more raw and vulnerable.I hope you enjoy the episode.
