  • #344 - Anyone Can Do Extreme For 8 Weeks

    The fitness industry has been largely built on dramatic short-term results. But extreme action is actually the easy part. What's far rarer, and far more impressive, is what you can build and maintain over a year.


    In this episode, Coach Meg makes the case for playing the long game, because proper change takes time, and the training that supports a good time and a long time will never be found in an eight-week programme.

  • #343 - Why Social Media Is Lying To You About What's Normal

    Less than 1% of the world's population has ever run a marathon. So why does social media make it feel like everyone is doing one every weekend?

    In this episode, Coach Meg talks about runflation and the way running culture online has distorted what's normal until the extraordinary looks ordinary. If you've ever felt behind, not fast enough, or like your achievements don't quite count, this one's for you.

  • #341 - Every Type Of Training Run Explained (Including The One Nobody Talks About)

    Easy runs, long runs, tempo, threshold, speed work, do you actually know what each one is doing for you and why it's in your plan? 

    In this episode, Coach Meg breaks down some of the most common types of training runs clearly and practically, so you can stop guessing and start training with real intention.

    She also discusses the run that never appears on any training plan but that every runner will face at some point.

  • #340 - Why Running Further and Faster Isn't Always The Answer

    Most runners hit a wall at some point. The niggles pile up, progress stalls, and no matter how hard they push, something keeps giving way. In this episode, Coach Meg how the foundation you build on plays a big role.

    Building fast and building well are two very different things and the runners who stay injury-free, keep improving, and genuinely love the sport long term? They're the ones who figured that out early.


    If this resonated, I am holding a webinar this Sunday 10th May at 8pm GMT (playback also available if can't make it live) on The Keys to Optimal Running Performance where I discuss how I help the runners I work with build this foundation. You can sign up ⁠⁠here⁠⁠

  • #339 - The Post Marathon Dip: What It Is, Why It Happens, And How To Navigate It Well

    The post marathon dip is real, it's normal, and almost nobody talks about it honestly. In this episode, Coach Meg breaks down why it happens, what your body actually needs in the weeks after a marathon, and how to use this period with intention, so you come back stronger, not just sooner.

  • #338 - Stop Chasing The 1% When Your Foundation Is Broken

    Coach Meg breaks down why most people are looking at progressing the wrong way round, and explains why the fastest path to better performance isn't another quick fix. It's building something solid enough that progress has nowhere to go but up.
