The Coached By Dan Podcast

Welcome to the final episode of season 2 of the podcast. In the final episode of the season, I take the podcast solo to run you through my experience running my first marathon. I ran the Cork City Marathon on June 5th, 2022 with 6 months to prepare. In this podcast, I talk about why I signed up for the marathon, how I prepped for it, the struggles and obstacles I faced along the way, how the marathon itself went, and of course, will I be doing more? Thank you so much for listening to season 2, I hope you enjoyed listening as much as I enjoyed recording!

This week, I convinced my girlfriend, Katelyn, to come onto the podcast, and I tell you what... You're in for a treat! This episode is strictly no fitness. We asked my followers on Instagram (@coachedbydan) for your worst first date stories & what your biggest icks are and we discuss them anonymously on the podcast! Enjoy!

Welcome back to season 2 of the podcast! This week, I'm speaking with the man with the most appearances on this podcast, Ricky Long. I met Ricky a few years ago on a training course and have since remained good friends and essentially, podcast co-hosts. In this week's episode, Ricky delves into mindset a bit and how he plans and sets goals for a number of fitness goals such as marathons and an upcoming Iron Man and shares his tips and tricks for the listeners to use themselves. He also talks about his new PT education company which has just launched!  If you'd like to follow Ricky, you can find him on Instagram @rickylong42 If you're interested in coaching with myself, click here or head over to www.coachedbydan.com Feel free to leave this podcast a 5-star rating and subscribe for more!

Welcome back to season 2 of the podcast! Today I'm speaking with one of the leading educators in the fitness industry and a good friend, Paul Standell. Formerly of The Muscle Mentors, Paul along with James Sutton now run a PT education service, "The PT Project". Paul is an incredibly knowledgeable man with a lot of value to give, so naturally, it was hard to think of one topic to discuss on today's podcast. After much thought, we landed on what happens after getting lean? The mental and physical considerations of what comes after getting lean are massively overlooked as the focus is usually on getting lean itself. We discuss what are some potential issues you may run into and how to overcome them!

Welcome back to season 2 of the podcast! In this episode, I'm speaking with one of the most influential people in the Irish fitness scene, Rob Lipsett. Rob Lipsett is a name I'm sure many Irish listeners will be extremely familiar with. Rob started posting content to Youtube 8 years ago, and prior to that on Facebook, becoming Ireland's first real fitness influencer. Nw with a little over 600,000 followers on Instagram Rob is one of the biggest names in the fitness scene, running a number of businesses such as Fuel Cakes, Game Plan, and of course, Lipsett Fitness. In today's episode, Rob and I talk about his early start in the Irish fitness scene and how that rise came about, we discuss how to stay on track with your fitness goals and how to make a name for yourself as a new coach!

Welcome to season 2 of The Coached By Dan Podcast! It's amazing to be back in the podcast seat, and even more amazing to kick off season 2 with one of my favourite people I've come across on social media, Dr. Mike II. Mike is an NHS GP/ trainer and in today's episode, we discuss the topic of mental health within the fitness scene. I've noticed a lot of PTs and coaches assume the role of mental health experts over my few years of coaching and as a PT, knowing I am in no way qualified as someone to give advice in the mental health department, I thought it would be interesting to get Mike on to discuss this topic in more detail! If you would like to follow Mike, you can find him on Instagram @drmikethe2nd If you are interested in coaching with myself, you can click here or head over to www.coachedbydan.com I hope you enjoyed this episode!

This week, I bring you the last episode of The Coached By Dan Podcast... For now. Over the last 2 years, I have released 112 episodes and I need to take a step away from the podcast to focus on other areas and give them my attention & energy. As well as that, the podcast has slowly become something I haven't enjoyed doing, and for me to continue to produce the best podcasts I can, I need to step away. But this isn't the end! As the months go on, I will be getting in touch with new guests to bring on so that when the podcast does return, it will be done with a bang! Thank you all so much for your support over these last 2 years and 112 episodes! After a long-winded "season one", I'm excited to take some time off. Believe me, when the podcast returns, it'll be 10 times better than it has ever been! See you soon! Dan (For all coaching inquiries, head over to www.coachedbydan.com
