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.

Hey everybody, welcome back to the podcast. My guest today is Darryl Corley. Darryl is a UK-based nutrition coach who specialises in optimising the performance of HYROX athletes, including elite competitors like Becca Mason, Lucy Proctor, and Jake Williamson.

We had an interesting chat, talking all about Darryl’s background and how he switched from a high-fat to a high-carb diet, and the benefits that came along for the ride on multiple levels. 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. We even walked through a full example of how to fuel your HYROX for optimal results.

Hope you enjoy my conversation with Darryl Corley.

Hey everybody, welcome back to the podcast. My guest today is Dr. Joey Weber. This was a beautifully resonant and deep conversation centred around equanimity. Dr. Joey is a world expert in equanimity and is the author of the book Why Mindfulness is Not Enough.

We discussed the tension between happiness, peace, and competitive drive; pleasure; mindfulness; trusting your intuition; validation; emotional entanglement; judgment versus discernment; and lots of other topics that you can check out in the chapter list.

I thought it was a fantastic conversation. Whether you're interested in mindfulness, spirituality, competitive sports, or happiness in general, I think you'll take a lot from it. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Joey Weber.
