    How Stress Ruins Your Fitness

    2026/06/04 | 34 mins.
    Spencer and Oli explore how stress really affects fitness, recovery and running performance.
    They unpack why stress isn’t just “in your head”, how everyday pressure can change your body, and why hard training can backfire when your system is already overloaded. From cortisol and sleep to Zone 2 runs, recovery, anxiety and allostatic load, this is a practical explainer on why runners need to think beyond miles, pace and workouts.
    Because sometimes the thing stopping you getting fitter isn’t your training plan — it’s the stress you’re carrying into it.

    The Stoltman Brothers On Calories, Carbs & The Truth About Strength

    2026/06/01 | 47 mins.
    World's Strongest Man champions Luke and Tom Stoltman join us to talk about what it actually takes to move half-ton weights, carry 180kg sandbags and complete the heaviest Atlas stone runs in history.

    But the most interesting part of this conversation isn't physical. Tom opens up about how working with a sports psychologist completely shifted his mindset from feeling breakable to becoming a champion, and how he turned his autism into a genuine superpower on the world stage.

    Luke shares how he has stayed mentally sharp and preserved muscle through a brutal leg break, why they save their max lifts for competition day only, and what fueling looks like when your body needs over a kilo of red meat every single day.

    This is a fascinating window into the lives of two brothers operating at the absolute edge of human strength.

    4 Mistakes People Make When Hybrid Training | Fergus Crawley

    2026/05/25 | 49 mins.
    Fergus Crawley is a true hybrid athlete with a 500 pound squat, a 250 kilogram deadlift, a marathon under three hours ten and an Ironman under twelve hours.

    In this episode, he breaks down the four biggest mistakes in hybrid training so you can avoid learning the hard way. He shares the core principle of balancing your total capacity, explaining how to organise strength and endurance in the same week, manage real-world double sessions, and why the belief that cardio destroys muscle is based on bad science.

    Fergus also takes recovery back to basics with a focus on sleep, food and sensible planning instead of quick fix gadgets. He opens up on how training became a mental anchor in a noisy world and why clear, measurable physical progress is so powerful for mental health.

    Fergus has now completed ten Ironman triathlons in ten United Kingdom cities across ten days, marking a decade since his suicide attempt and continuing his mission to raise money and awareness for mens mental health.
