Doing the Basics Well 04.01.2025 1:08:47

Happy New Year! Strap in, this ones a good one - and please don't talk to us about new years resolutions. This week Kirsty and I tackle the quagmire around motivation vs discipline, routine and consistency and try to work out how to make running more like Duolingo because we all love Duolingo right? There are some really interesting questions and comments from the listeners and we share why the la...

The Comparison Trap 28.12.2024 1:11:48

Welcome to episode four with Allie and Holly! This installment brings with it a super-duper exclusive announcement about Holly's next challenge and it's a HUUUUGE one, plus its Christmas, so we have approximately zero Christmas content for you.

Consistency Yes, Monotony No. 14.12.2024 1:12:35

Episode two is here and I'm thrilled to be rejoined by one of the best - it’s Kirsty Reade! Kirsty’s take on consistency is just fucking brilliant and, in this episode, we talk about the importance of showing up, being a “B” grade student and why is impossible to be consistent AND hot every goal. We’ve got some great advice from super ultra endurance machine Lucy Gossage, a catch up with The Exper...

The Consistency Crisis 07.12.2024 1:20:37

Welcome one and all - episode one is here and it's a belter - if you like people catching up because they haven't seen each other for a bit and talking about poo. Allie and Holly are at the helm for episode one, discussing everything from job changes to coaching chemistry and laying the foundation for the theme of the season which is CONSISTENCY. In this episode you get to meet our real-life exper...
