We are joined for the fourth time by James Breese from Strength Matters & Cricket Matters & discuss his upcoming Cricket injury & performance clinic in Cardiff, Wales.

We also hear about James' recent time spent with Gray Cook in the USA & the development of 'The Performance Flywheel' model which covers the 6 components of athlete performance in any skill based sport or training programme.

We are joined by Duncan Moore, founder of 'Let's Get Out' Community Interest Company.

His mission is to get more young people outside experiencing the many benefits of spending time in nature.

We discuss forestry schools, bushcraft, survival skills & the Duke of Edinburgh Awards as well as some of the established & recognised benefits of being in nature & also some of the interpersonal skills & leadership traits young people can develop when taken outside away from technology & connecting with nature, & each other.

In this host catch up episode Peter & James discuss a simple habit stacking nutrition challenge, James begins to run AGAIN & shares his experience & they discuss a recent short video that went viral & the ways that human beings react to online content & people as they age.

We are joined from Los Angeles USA for a very unique & important episode with a man who has overcome life altering adversity & is now on a mission to help others do the same.

William Person was a 10 year veteran of the Team USA Bobsled team & has subsequently developed CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) a brain injury condition experienced by collision sports athletes, military veterans & civilians who experience head trauma.

This is a fascinating conversation that is wide reaching & impactful & William's mission could have wider implications for many of societies current ills.

Midway through January & following a run of 8 weeks of fantastic guests Pete & James cut through the distraction & clutter of new year, new you media hyperbole & discuss the 5 big rocks that will ACTUALLY help you move the needle & make progress throughout 2026.

We are rejoined by Mark Tonner (previously a guest on episodes 272 & 174) to Review the recent 'Lift for Life' Charity Deadlift Challenge & discuss some big plans for 2026.

2025 was the most successful event to date breaking records in terms of kg lifted, number of participants AND money raised for Suicide Prevention through Andy's Man Club & if you've listened to previous episodes with Mark you'll know he has some more dastardly ideas up his sleeve!

We last spoke to Paddy Haynes back in February 2025 (Episode 237) when he was very much 'The Dark Horse' of UK & International Strongman having narrowly missed out on a podium place at Britain's Strongest Man.

Since then, it's fair to say he's had a pretty special year.

In this catch up episode with Paddy we go through his biggest achievements of the year in terms of contest finishes & records broken & look ahead to 2026 - could the 'Dark Horse' be renamed - 'The Stallion'!?

In our first podcast of 2026 we are joined all the way from Southern Maryland, USA by the very aptly named Levi Strong.

Levi is a 6ft 8, 375lb giant of a man who recently WON the Magnus Classic out in Iceland in November beating a world class line-up.

We discuss Levi's hard working blue collar background, working in ice storms & extreme conditions, his experience in Iceland, his training & aspirations for the future.

This is a relaxed & informative conversation with an intelligent, humble & polite athlete who hopefully we will all be seeing much more of over the coming months & years.

In the second of our two Christmas Specials we are joined from Scotland by Chris Beetham - 2024 Scotlands Strongest Man & 2025 UK Strongest Man runner up (by 1.5 points!)

Chris is a full time Structural Engineer, father of two, owner of Dodge City Strength Gym, youth Rugby coach, coach to 35 strength athletes AND a Pro Strongman himself! We learn about Chris' rugby background, how he fell in love with Strength Training & his life as a competitive Powerlifter then Strongman & how he 'engaged feast mode' to transform himself from a naturally slim guy into the man he is today - top tip - double dinners!

In the first of two Christmas Specials we are joined from Belfast, Northern Ireland by Emma Brennan.

Owner of Iron Wolf Gym, Iron Wolf Gymwear, Qualified Personal Trainer, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Sports Therapist, competitive Powerlifter & mother of two.

This is a wide ranging conversation covering Emma's unconventional route into the fitness industry, her experience in the education & training sector, the current state of the industry, juggling life as a wife & mother with running a business AND competing in Strength Sports.

Emma also talks openly about dealing with her own health & fitness challenges over the years & how her personal experiences inform her approach when working with clients.
