In this solo episode, Tina unpacks why stacking hard training on top of a fasted state sends a stress signal that works against women's hormones, muscle and strength rather than for them. She talks through the research on thyroid and hormone changes, why so much of the fasting evidence doesn't actually translate from men to women, and the post-workout window most people don't realise is even shorter for us.

Tina's back in marathon training, chasing a sub-four finish at Yorkshire Marathon this October. In this solo episode, she takes you through how running found her (twice), the lessons four marathons and plenty of injuries have taught her, and what her training actually looks like week to week right now...the intervals, the tempo runs, and the long, slow miles she still finds hardest. If you're training for anything right now, or thinking about starting, this one's worth a listen.

Matt and Tina are back after a break since April, catching up on everything they've missed. Matt's HYROX Malaga PB and first doubles race at Deadly Dozen, marathon training after injury, fuelling properly, and a few life updates, including Tina's graduation and Dylan qualifying as a PT.

Three months in - how's it actually going? In this episode, Tina and Matt do something they do with all their clients: a proper quarterly review. They work through the questions they send out, answer them honestly themselves, and talk about wins, what needs improving, and where they're headed for the rest of the year. If you've been meaning to check in with yourself on your own health and fitness goals, this one's worth a listen.

Self-belief isn't something you can just decide to have, it has to be built. In this episode, Tina and Matt dig into the psychology behind why that is, and share four practical ways to start collecting the evidence you need to back yourself. Whether you've got a big event coming up or you're just trying to stay consistent, this one will shift how you think about confidence and what it actually takes to get there.

Matt and Tina chat about the three pillars they focus on with clients...performance, growth, and environment, and why community is such a massive part of getting results. They share real examples from the week of how their clients rally round when self-doubt creeps in, why having more than just your coach pushing you makes all the difference, and how a leaving do for gym members showed what being part of something really means. Plus the usual life updates, HYROX training chaos, and Matt's ongoing battle with his ankle.

In this Valentine's Day recording, Matt and Tina chat about what separates people who get results from those who don't...consistency, even on the hard days. They discuss their HYROX prep, client wins, why February is brutal for staying on track, and how adapting your training (rather than skipping it) is what makes the difference. Simple message: show up and do what you can.

In this episode, we welcome Nicole Greenfield Smith, CEO of The Expert Edge, to talk about the psychology behind lasting behaviour change. We dive into why high performers struggle with imposter syndrome, how to build habits that actually work for your brain, and why self-criticism kills progress.

Nicole shares practical insights on managing energy (not just time), dealing with plateaus, and why other people's perceptions of you will always lag behind your own transformation.

If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're never quite enough...this conversation might just shift everything for you.Find Nicola at:
