In this inspiring episode, I speak with Sophie François, Fundamentals and Martial Arts Coach at The Commando Temple in Deptford.Sophie's journey into movement began at school, where she took up sports simply to avoid subjects she didn't enjoy…! But what started as an escape soon became a passion. Over the years she fell in love with Muay Thai, earned grading in kickboxing, and developed deep physical strength and confidence - qualities she now shares wholeheartedly with the people she coaches.Before stepping into coaching, Sophie had a thriving career in fashion, designing window displays on Oxford Street. It was fast-paced, creative, and high-pressure, and eventually, the stress and burnout became too much. She made the courageous decision to walk away.In this conversation, Sophie openly shares how she rebuilt her life through movement, martial arts, and deep self-connection. She speaks passionately about:The power of martial arts to build confidence and resilienceLearning to listen to your body and wellbeingBurnout, recovery, and redefining successWhy you can leave something that no longer serves you, even when it feels impossibleHow strength training and coaching have transformed her lifeThis is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to choose a different path, one that honours who you truly are.

In this episode of The Athlete's Compass, the hosts explore the often-underestimated power of Zone 2 training—effort levels that allow for relaxed, conversational pacing. They break down the physiology behind this aerobic zone, why elite endurance athletes rely on it, and how it promotes mitochondrial growth, fat metabolism, and long-term durability. With personal anecdotes and references to key research studies from 2023 and 2025, the conversation highlights the importance of consistent, low-intensity training for all athletes—from Olympians to time-crunched weekend warriors. The team also discusses how to apply Zone 2 strategically, avoid ego-driven pitfalls, and track progress through heart rate, efficiency, and perceived effort.Key TakeawaysZone 2 training sits just below the first ventilatory threshold and supports aerobic efficiency.It promotes mitochondrial density, enhances fat oxidation, and builds durability over time.Even world-class athletes make performance gains primarily through increased low-intensity volume.Conversational pace and relaxed breathing are useful real-world indicators of being in Zone 2.Avoid the "ego zone" (Zone 3) during base training to maximize aerobic adaptation.Zone 2 is especially critical for masters athletes with limited time—focus on consistency, not volume.Tracking metrics like heart rate, pace/power, and efficiency factor (EF) helps measure progress.Use Zone 2 as a foundation and add high-intensity (HIIT) strategically for optimal results.Paul Warloski - Endurance, Strength Training, YogaMarjaana Rakai - Tired Mom Runs - Where fitness meets motherhood.

In this episode, you will learn:What are peptides? The basic science of these "small proteins" and how they signal cells to function.GLP-1s Explained: How drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro were originally developed for diabetes but have gained popularity for weight loss.The Big Picture: Peptides are used for more than just weight loss—Dr. Jones discusses their use in migraines, bone building, and studies for ALS and MS.The Weight Loss Surge: Why obesity and its link to chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol) is fueling interest in these drugs.The Critical Component: Why a GLP-1 shot is not enough—the medication must be combined with good nutrition, exercise, and psychological health for lasting success.Protein is Key: The importance of adequate protein intake and strength training to maintain muscle mass and prevent hair loss associated with rapid weight loss.The Inflammation Link: How GLP-1s can decrease inflammation (like high cortisol) which often causes stubborn abdominal fat and joint pain.Dispelling Myths: Separating real side effects (like minor hypoglycemia) from media fear-mongering (like blindness), and understanding that hair loss is often due to rapid weight loss, not the drug itself.Next Steps: Where to start if you are interested in peptide therapy and the importance of a consult with a pharmacist.Resources Mentioned:Your Health Wellness Team: Contact the team to schedule a consultation on weight loss goals and peptide therapy. www.YourHealth.Org

They explore how intentional communication during date nights can strengthen emotional connection, why saying “I don't have time” is often a symptom of deeper disconnection, and how starting with your “protein”—both nutritionally and relationally—can reset priorities. The conversation unpacks the importance of decoupling food from fun, finding the “why” behind your shared rituals, and using nature as a grounding tool to reconnect. Whether you're navigating fitness goals, personal growth, or marriage challenges, this episode is a powerful reminder that evolution in love starts with awareness, communication, and intention. Jordan Brannon is an IFBB Bikini Olympian, coach, and entrepreneur.

In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Laurel Beversdorf talks with strength coach James Lederach, MS, CSCS, about the deeper side of coaching and how helping someone get stronger often means helping them grow as a person. Together, they explore the benefits of strength development for adults and kids, training that supports rather than interferes with sport, the downsides of early sport specialization in youth, and the broader life lessons that strength training offers beyond physical health and performance.James and Laurel reflect on how training develops resilience, self-reliance, and emotional steadiness for both kids and adults. They discuss how good coaching balances structure with empathy, how strength training teaches self-trust, and why the most meaningful outcomes of training have less to do with performance and more to do with who we become through the process.SITE WIDE SALE — Save $$ on our Movement Logic TutorialsFOLLOW @MovementLogicTutorials on InstagramRESOURCESBell, 2018; PMID: 30135085DiFiori, 2014; PMID: 24463910Post, 2017; PMID: 28288281Post, 2016; PMID: 27807260VISIT James Lederach's Gym Heavy Athletics FOLLOW @james_lederach on Instagram

In this episode, I talk about four simple but powerful ways to be more active in daily life. Experts now agree that your overall level of movement—not your formal workouts—is the single most important factor for long-term health. You can’t just hit your morning spin class and then sit around the rest of the day. In fact, research on the “Active Couch Potato Syndrome” shows that even devoted exercisers can suffer from the diseases of sedentary living if the rest of their life is spent in a chair. Katy Bowman calls this the “lazy athlete mentality,” where you give yourself a hall pass for inactivity because you already worked out. I share four specific ways to break that pattern: start a morning exercise routine to set the tone for the day, sprinkle in brief micro workouts whenever you can, find more opportunities to walk (yes, even laps around the block count), and finally, add properly structured workouts to maintain strength and muscle mass. These habits not only boost energy and focus, but form the foundation for longevity, vitality, and graceful aging.

What benefits can you actually expect in your first year of strength training? Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher continue their conversation on the benefits of strength training. In today's episode, they unpack the real, research-backed adaptations that happen within the first one to 12 months of training. They break down what you can expect to feel after a few weeks, what continues to improve month by month, and why sticking with it pays off far beyond muscle and strength. Amy starts by explaining that exercise isn't something you do once and tick off your list. It's a habit that keeps giving back the longer you stick with it. Every session is like a small deposit that compounds into a stronger, healthier you. Dr. Fisher says strength training is an investment in yourself. You're not just building muscle, you're buying more energy, confidence, and independence for your future self. The time you put in now will pay you back in ways that go far beyond the gym. For Amy, a good personal trainer will remind you that the first few weeks aren't about lifting heavy, they're about teaching your body to move better.  Your coordination improves, your posture feels stronger, and your confidence starts to grow. Those early wins are what keep you coming back. Dr. Fisher explains what happens within the first four weeks of strength training. Your muscles learn to work together better, your flexibility starts improving, and your blood pressure can even begin to drop. You may not see big physical changes yet, but your body is already rewiring itself for better performance. Dr. Fisher says that after about eight weeks, you might notice your shirts fitting a little tighter around the arms or shoulders. That's your muscles growing and taking shape.  Dr. Fisher shares that after eight weeks of training, your body activates a powerful cleanup process called autophagy. Old or damaged cells are cleared away and replaced with healthier ones. It's like your body is renovating itself from the inside out. Dr. Fisher explains that when we don't move or train, damaged cells hang around longer than they should. But when we strength train, we help the body recycle old cells and build new, healthy ones. You're literally helping your body stay young and resilient from the inside. Research shows that after 11 weeks of strength training, anxiety symptoms go down in both healthy people and those struggling with clinical anxiety. It's proof that lifting weights isn't just for your muscles, it's for your mind too. Amy adds that most people don't realize how deeply exercise helps with anxiety. It's not just the happy feeling right after a workout, it's the long-term changes happening in your brain chemistry. You're training your body to handle stress better and find calm more easily. Learn why most people fall in and out of their workout routines. The biggest benefits only come when you make working out part of your life, not a phase. T That's why working with a strength coach is important. When motivation fades, your trainer keeps you grounded, reminding you why you started.  Dr. Fisher compares strength training to saving for retirement. You don't put money away once and expect to retire rich; you invest steadily over time. Every workout you do is like another deposit toward a stronger, healthier future. Dr. Fisher says one of his favorite milestones happens around 13 weeks. That's when people start hearing compliments like "you look different" or "what have you been doing." Those moments make all the early effort worth it because now the change isn't just internal, it's visible. When someone notices and says you look stronger, you naturally want to keep going. It's that social boost that turns exercise into something you genuinely enjoy. By the 16-week mark, your body becomes more sensitive to insulin. For some people, that means reversing type 2 diabetes completely. You're giving your body the ability to balance blood sugar naturally, just by staying consistent with your workouts. Understand that strength training doesn't have to take hours a day or feel overwhelming. Even short, focused workouts can completely change how you look and feel in just a few months. Dr. Fisher highlights that after about six months, your body starts burning more calories even at rest. Your metabolism naturally speeds up, and you're using more energy just by living your normal life. You're literally becoming a more efficient version of yourself. Dr. Fisher explains that consistent strength training can make your biological age younger than your actual age. You're not just feeling younger, your cells are acting younger too.  Dr. Fisher breaks down research that compared strength training to yoga and Pilates.  Amy says the first six to twelve months of training are where the magic happens. That's when you see big shifts in strength, energy, and even mood. Once you start feeling those changes, it's hard to imagine ever going back. According to Dr. Fisher, strength training should become as normal as brushing your teeth. You don't do it for a few months and stop; you do it because it keeps you healthy and balanced every single day. It becomes part of who you are. Amy closes by saying that no matter your age or starting point, it's never too late to begin. The progress might start quietly, but it builds faster than you think. Every workout is a reminder that you're taking care of the only body you'll ever have. During that first year, there will be days you doubt yourself, but having a personal trainer or a strength coach in your corner keeps you grounded. You start realizing you're capable of so much more than you thought.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Dr. Matthew Silver is a physical therapist, author, and owner of Alpha Project Phyzio and Performance in Maryland. His book Built to Run is now available. While he set his college's 8k record and made the all-conference team, injuries prematurely ended Matt's career, sparking his interest in physical therapy.  In today's conversation, we're talking about the different types of strength training that exist, their benefits and drawbacks, and how to integrate them into your training. It's important to recognize that not all strength training is the same. We're going to discuss traditional strength training, isometrics, and plyometrics. Each one is unique and has an important place in your training.  Additional Resources: Our complimentary strength series: strengthrunning.com/strength/ (explosivity, mistakes to avoid, case studies, example movements, etc). High Performance Lifting (Strength Running's flagship weightlifting course) Thank You Lever!

It effectively makes you lighter, enabling you to run more volume than you normally could with reduced injury risk, run faster with less effort, or return to running after an injury more effectively. Lever allows you to do more running with less risk. From building mileage, introducing faster workouts, aiding your return to running after a break, Lever has a place in every phase of training. The pro's have been using Lever for years, giving them the advantage of more training with fewer injuries. They're also common in physical therapy offices.

Mika Noodt is ranked second in the T100 World Tour standings (with two races to go), has four T100 podiums so far in 2025, and has multiple Ironman 70.3 and Challenge Family wins and podiums on his resume. In this interview we discuss Mika's training in great detail, get into the specific dynamics of racing in T100 races, and we even discuss how Mika might have ended up being a Formula 1 driver rather than a triathlete if circumstances had allowed.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: How Mika got into triathlonA deep-dive into Mika's training, including key swimming, cycling and running sessionsHis unconventional (you might say epic!) strength training blocksA breakdown of a full week of triathlon training with Mika - from the lead-up to T100 Wollongong (where he finished 2nd)The dynamics of racing on the T100 World Tour - what is the swim, bike and run like, and how does it compare to Ironman 70.3 races?The pacing strategy Mika uses to maximise his performance in T100 racesMika's decision to focus exclusively on the T100 series in 2025A full Ironman in Mika's future?Listener questions...and more!DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES: We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes.

This week we're digging into a new study on high-protein ultra-processed foods (spoiler: protein doesn't magically cancel out junk food), plus your biggest questions on appetite, cardio vs. strength, and working out with hypothyroidism. We talk about our thoughts on “belly fat,” why your hunger might have gone MIA, and how to find the right workout balance without losing your mind. Timestamps:[1:35] Welcome [4:00] Discussion: study that looked at protein enriched foods [14:40] I'd love to know how to increase my appetite. [36:14] What's a good ratio of cardio vs strength per week?[39:26] This question is about hypothyroidism - I take a medicine first thing in the morning and I'm not supposed to eat for a full hour after taking. It's also the only time I have to workout - am I doing damage working out on an empty stomach?Episode Links:High protein ultra processed foods Sponsors:Go to https://thisisneeded.com/  and use coupon code WELLFED for 20% off your first order.Go to curednutrition.com/wellfed and use code WELLFED for 20% off.Go to http://mdlogichealth.com/chocolate and use coupon code COLLAGEN15  for 15% off.Go to boncharge.com/WELLFED and use coupon code WELLFED to save 15% off any order.
