    On this weeks episode I just talk about my history struggling with food and overtraining. I want to explain how it had affected my life not allowing myself the food it has needed. I speak about Uganda and various other holidays where they have been spoiled due to not eating sufficient calories. I don’t count calories and haven’t weighed myself since my foot stress fracture which has made me incredibly happy. My training is increasing each week which means that the nutrition needs to also increase to compensate for the calories burned. I just wanted to use this show to explain how hard it can be to train and keep it together even when it’s your job. I really hope you enjoy this episode!

    What an episode with this "World Laser Run Champion". It was amazing to hear her thoughts about "RED-S" and suffering with lots of nutritional problems during COVID. It seems like her coach was exceptional of noticing that she was losing weight quite quickly after COVID and sent her straight to see a sports nutritionist. Since then and speaking to this nutritionist she has just become a much better person both mentally and physically. She even mentions that since putting on some weight she feels stronger and actually hasn't picked up an injury in months. She speaks about the importance of sleep to allow the body to fully recover and how hard it can be sometimes on social media when you see these skinny athletes. She is actually competing in Germany next week for the Europeans and is currently ranked 2nd. We need to cheer her on and hopefully she can pick up that gold medal for GB. Follow her on social media: @Victoria Bradbury

    What a show!! Everything he was saying was inspiring and it seems like both of us were dealing with the same awful situations during our worst times. This young, talented runner who has run 1:49 over 800m was explaining to me what he perceived was essentially "rock bottom" during his time in America and how it affected his mood. He is hopeful of running quicker than ever this year after coming back to the UK and really working on his lifestyle first. He found it tricky in America dealing with his course and nutrition not allowing his body the full potential. He even admits that he was sometimes doing core 3 times a day to get more and more training out of his body. He was scared that his career was ending abruptly at the age of 19 losing a lot of motivation for the sport he loves. He explains to me about him weighing himself, speaking out earlier this year and the challenges he faced. He is now in a much better place but there is always something to work on as he looks towards some big goals in the upcoming future. What a legend!
