We’re back… for the first proper Maximum Mileage Podcast in just over a year. Nick and Faye catch up on what’s changed at Maximum Mileage (new coaches, Faye going full-time, a growing global community)… plus their own running years, highs and lows, and a bit of real talk about health, recovery, and what actually matters.

Then we’re joined by Tina Muir (former GB and Northern Ireland international) for an honest conversation about diet culture, underfuelling, RED-S, and why trying to “cut weight” while marathon training so often backfires. We also get into the current fuelling trend (yes, carbs)… and Tina’s work helping runners and races take practical steps toward sustainability, without the guilt trip.

Key takeaways (the stuff we want you to remember)

• Training hard + cutting calories is a risky combo… performance drops, recovery suffers, niggles appear.
• “Health” is the long game… run well now so you can move well later.
• Underfuelling isn’t just a women’s issue… men get hit too, just with fewer obvious signals.
• Sleep problems can be a big red flag… stress + low energy availability can show up at 3am.
• The goal isn’t perfect eating… it’s a relationship with food that supports training and life.
• Sustainability doesn’t need to be all-or-nothing… start with one uncomfortable “no thanks”.

Quote pulls

• “Training for a marathon and trying to be on a diet at the same time are not very compatible.”
• “Focus on longevity… wellbeing… and performing well in training.”
• “Your body goes into survival mode… what’s less important right now?”
• “The freedom of not having those constant horrible thoughts… is worth everything.”
• “Get used to being uncomfortable… and saying ‘no thank you’.”

In this episode, Nick talks through his "supplement stack" and why he takes these specific supplements!

Supplements for running are all the rage and it can be a real minefield of what is good and what is snake oil!
