It is rarely in life when you meet someone and they really make you wonder what are you doing. David smith had that impact on me, he pulls you out of your worries and troubles. He makes you realise that you are just here for a short period of time. You can and will be needed to in moments, you will need to be there for yourself. This conversation is delicate and strong as David reveals his 6 cancer surgeries and persistent brushes with death. He feels that pressure of life and how much of things are here for us to respond to. We can live better through action and inaction but making sure we hold down values true to us. Thank you David smith. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This conversation is a perfect follow up to the conversation on ensuring you get the right nutrients. This is all about developing a deeper understanding of what happens to our bodies when we do the correct things. The body will require support to do the things that we require it to do, it sounds simple but so many of us can sometimes not have enough fuel to complete the tasks that we require. Dr Nicky Keay specialises in helping people who find it difficult to balance their input vs their output. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In life we forget how much impact we can have on each other, this is something we need to reconsider. You can impact people in so many different ways and that is crucial. The thought about how and why we do things is important, the purpose and meaning we have is crucial.

In our lives we aim to be the best at our lifestyle, everything has to be perfect. We live in a way that is most of the time unsustainable, moving from one burnout or feeling to another. The best thing about what we can do in life is nurture each part of our lives. Brad presents this theory in our opening dialogue. This conversation encapsulates the psychological tools to be athletes and human beings. We need also be aware of the ability to just be ''Wei wu wei'' the life we live can happen for us without action. This episode is powerful and diverges on lots of different themes. It is all about the exploration of who we are and what we can achieve. Use the information in this episode and I think you can really explore more of yourself and others. Be a lifestyle Architect rather than letting life happen to you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It is important for us to think about the places and spaces we navigate, it is also sometimes how we approach these environments that matters. The zero sum game denotes that there are a limited number of resources and we always need to win to ensure that someone else loses, for instance the competition we can sometimes feel when meeting a new runner. The thing here is that running is a variable sum game, at times you are doing really well, sometimes you may not be, time and fitness can be variable and you are only competing with yourself. This episode discusses how Tom and I are understanding that we are helping each other and we may or may not win, we are sharing the time and sport. We are galvanised by each other's journey's and how we experience each run. This is about how we can nurture a culture for each other.Let us know what you think about this episode. Hosted on Acast.

Getting better at sport can be all about getting the right information at the right time. Trevor and I discuss the need to work on variable training speeds and the ability to create consistency.

Injury prevention, it really should be injury risk reduction. Jason a Physical therapist joins me on the RLC podcast to discuss the injury risks and what we need to consider.

They share their perspective on being part of a community and some things that you may think about if you're new to running or have been part of it for a long time.

During lockdown we had more time on our hands and during that I'm time I was able to talk to numerous athletes. Great Britain 800m runner Elliot is 5x British champion and European bronze medalist. He is the epitome of bespoke hard work and specific training. He has had an extensive injury history and has curated his training with his coach to ensure he is at his best. Due to our unique responses to training we need to ensure we train with quality rather than trying to compare or achieve quantity. Take this advice from a professional, have a listen and let me know what you think. Thank you for taking time out Elliot.
