Jamie is 7 months out from Ironman Texas, so I sat him down to find out what he's learnt so far in his Ironman training and to test his cycling lingo. Some answers were better than others.   Because if you're going to swim 2.4 miles, ride 112 and run a marathon, you need to know your cassette from your chainring (or at least be able to fake it).   Whether you're training for your fi...

VO2 max gets you into the room. Running economy gets you the result. Your watch says your VO2 max is up - cool. But chasing that number won't make you faster. It's one piece of a much bigger puzzle. Train hard. Stay curious. Don't gamify the number over the outcome. Find out more about OMNIA's Coaching here: https://pages.omnia-performance.com/goldcoaching/?utm_medium=email&amp...

This week, Fergus sits down with Dr Phil to discuss the best 6 ways of how they think you can test your fitness. Our Coaching:  https://pages.omnia-performance.com/g... Our Custom Training Plans: https://pages.omnia-performance.com/c...

This week, Fergus sits down with Head Coaches Kieran and JB for a proper no-holds-barred confessional.  Failed lifts.  A calorie surplus that got embarrassingly out of hand. They're airing it all. Because here's the thing - even the coaches leading your training didn't start out knowing what they know now.  This episode is proof that the road to "knowing your stuff" is pav...

In this week's episode Tom and Kieran steal a few lessons from the Tour de France - because if you're not watching it, you should be. They get into why the pros are proving that lighter isn't always faster (looking at you, Jonas Vingegaard), why chasing watts beats chasing kilograms, and why so many endurance athletes still leave their fuelling to chance while obsessing over margina...

In this week's episode, Kelly (a seasoned Ultra Runner) sits down with Tom McClure, Omnia's Head of Performance Nutrition, to talk all things ultra fuelling. From building your nutrition plan in training to nailing your race day strategy (and what to eat the second you cross the finish line) - this one's packed with practical, no-BS advice for anyone taking on an ultra. Find out mor...

In this week's episode, Head Coach JB goes solo to break down hypertrophy training - what's actually worth your time, and what you can ditch. He covers the non-negotiables (training close to failure, why progressive overload isn't what you think it is, full range of motion) and the stuff that's overhyped (rep range obsession, constantly rotating exercises, chasing the pump over...

Traveling doesn't have to mean your training falls apart. Head Coach Kieran -who spent years training across the world during his military career - shares practical strategies for staying on track when you're away from your usual gym and equipment. Whether you're on holiday, traveling for work, or just away from your usual setup - this one's for you. Find out more about OMNIA&a...

In this week's episode, Kelly and Kieran dive into everything you need to know about making the switch from road to trail running. From training your legs for brutal descents (not just the climbs) to why hiking might be your secret weapon for ultra prep, they cover the key differences that catch most people off guard. They also get into essential safety kit, why spending time on your feet mat...

In this week's episode, JB sits down with Omnia's nutritionist Tom McClure to talk about something everyone trains through but not many people actually nail - recovery. And no, they're not here to sell you a cold plunge tub. If you've ever felt like you're constantly trying to rescue yourself after training rather than actually recovering - this one's for you. Find ou...

In today's episode, Head Coach JB gets into something we all have to face eventually - training as you get older. He's 36, he's in the middle of it, and he's not here to give you watered down "just listen to your body" advice. What actually changes physiologically as you age, why most of it is driven by inactivity rather than age itself, and how to keep making real pr...

In this week's episode, Head Coach Kieran and our Social Media Manager Kelly talk about why endurance sport is exploding right now. Something shifted. And we're getting into exactly what happened - why ultras aren't what most people think, why your phone might be the real reason you need to start running, and why the 50-year-old at your local club is probably destroying you on the c...

In this week's episode we're breaking down the London Marathon — the good, the tough, and everything in between. We get into why race day didn't go to plan despite a solid prep, how to handle the mental side of a disappointing result, and why sometimes the sport just humbles you. We also dive into Sebastian Sarwe's insane sub-2 fueling strategy (115g of carbs per hour - yes, re...

Mass moves mass. We've all heard it. In a strength setting? Largely true. But that same mass you're building to move weight? You've got to carry it over distance. Every stride. Higher impact load. Higher oxygen cost. More fatigue. The interference effect isn't just conflicting training signals - it's literally the weight you're moving through space. Me and Dr Phil wen...

Most people struggling to fit training in aren't short on time. They're short on focus. In this episode I sit down with Dr. Phil from The Progress Theory to talk about how distractible we've all become - and what it's actually costing you beyond just missed sessions. We also get into mass moving mass and what heavier hybrid athletes need to consider when training for endurance...

In this week’s episode, Fergus sits down with Dr Phil to unpack the real challenge of hybrid training: balancing strength and endurance without compromising both.  From energy systems and lactate thresholds to the reality of fatigue, adaptation, and programming, this is a deep dive into what’s actually going on under the hood - and how to apply it to your training. Find out more about OMNIA's...

Most marathon plans treat strength training like an afterthought. Most nutrition guides ignore the fact you're also trying to keep weight on a bar. This one's different. JB sits down with Tom McClure,  OMNIA's Head of Performance Nutrition and a hybrid athlete who actually does this stuff, to go through everything that matters when you're chasing 26.2 miles without watching you...

In this episode, Fergus sits down with Dr. Phil Price to tackle one of the most common questions we get from OMNIA Athletes. Do I actually need to be doing double training days? And more importantly, if I do, how do I stop them from quietly wrecking everything else in my week? Phil brings the research. Fergus brings the lived reality of coaching hundreds of athletes trying to balance lifting and e...
