Ever have those days when you just can't get going, no matter how hard you try? In this episode, I open up about my battles with unproductive days, particularly as someone who thrives (and sometimes struggles) with ADHD. I share a simple but powerful hack that changed the way I work: understanding and protecting my high-energy periods—what I call my "biological prime time". By ring-fencing these hours for high-impact work and shifting less critical tasks to my lower-energy times, I've found a way to turn even the most unproductive day into a productive one. I'll explain how small changes to your schedule can have a massive compounding effect over time. If procrastination or lack of focus ever gets the better of you, this one's for you.

Join me as I talk through real-life examples, lessons from Dan Martell's "Buy Back Your Time", and how you can make the most of your own productivity highs and lows to see real progress—every single day.

In this episode of my daily Runpreneur diary, I share the experience of training for a local four-mile fun run with my two boys, aged 14 and 10. As we prepare for the annual Fen gallop event—a fantastic fundraiser for the local primary school—I reflect on the importance of proper training, even for children, and the lessons we've learnt about fitness, resilience, and the value of doing challenging things together as a family. Whether your kids are seasoned runners or just starting out, tune in for practical tips, heartfelt stories, and a little bit of inspiration for anyone supporting young runners. Plus, don’t forget—this journey is part of my mission to save children’s lives through the ultimate ultra marathon run vlogging challenge. Thanks for your support!

Today, I dive into the challenging question: is coaching truly for everyone? After nearly a decade on the sidelines supporting youth football teams and working in business coaching, I share my candid experiences – the highs, the doubts, and the reality checks. I unpack why some individuals naturally thrive in coaching roles while others, like myself, wrestle with balance, emotion, and fair play. Whether you’re a coach in sport, business, or life, I’ll discuss the personality traits, ethical dilemmas, and self-awareness required to excel, and why I believe not everyone is cut out for the job. If you’ve ever questioned your own coaching style, wondered about the skills you need, or struggled to keep the fun alive for your team, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I reflect on how I assess and recover from those truly manic weeks that leave us feeling drained yet productive. From my whirlwind half-term trip and completing the Edinburgh marathon to the busy days of onboarding a new executive assistant and catching up on business calls, it’s been a nonstop ride. I share how I decompress, recharge, and get myself ready for the week ahead – including the importance of running, spending time with family, and following Dan Martell’s “buy back your time” philosophy for task management. Join me as I break down how I categorise my work, delegate effectively, and seek a better balance in life and business. If you relate to stressful weeks and want practical ways to reset, this one's for you.

Hi everyone, On today’s episode consecutive day 1830 of my running diary, I reflect on those unexpected, breathtaking sights you sometimes witness when out for a run. You never know when you’ll encounter them, but when you do, they have the power to instantly transform your mood and make every step worth it. I share a recent magical moment running past a sunlit field near my home, drawing inspiration from Forrest Gump and my own five years of daily running across 20+ countries. These spectacular views are few and far between, but when they happen, they remind me not only why I run, but why it’s important to show up even when you don’t feel like it. Whether you’re a runner or just facing a challenge in life, there’s a message here about the beauty and positivity that can arise from simply being present and pushing through. As always, this journey supports saving the lives of children through my barefoot ultra marathon mission—so if you feel inspired, please share and support. Stay positive, stay happy, and enjoy those beautiful moments when they come!

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a real game-changer in my business and personal life—the first weekly meeting with my new executive assistant. If you’re drowning in endless tasks, constantly racing against the clock, and feeling like you’re doing absolutely everything yourself, this one’s for you. I walk through how I approached systemising my business and life, inspired by top books like Systemology and Buy Back Your Time, and how having an EA is already freeing up my time and headspace in ways I never imagined. I dive into the practical steps we took, from calendar and communication management to project delegation, and share honest thoughts on the highs, the challenges, and why the cost of not having an assistant is far greater than hiring one. Tune in for a candid discussion on trust, process, and what it really means to let go so you can level up.

In today’s episode, I share a deeply personal and unplanned lesson I taught my children—one that had a powerful impact on us all. Following a long journey home from the Edinburgh marathon, a simple encounter with a homeless man at a service station became the platform for an important discussion about kindness, compassion, and humility. I explain why I chose to give what I could, the reaction it sparked, and how this small gesture spoke volumes to my children—far beyond any words I might have offered. This episode is a reminder that our actions, even the smallest ones, can leave lasting impressions on those around us, especially our kids. Join me as I reflect on how leading by example can truly make all the difference.

If you’re a parent or just someone keen to make the world a bit better, this episode is for you.

Today marks an incredible milestone—my five-year running streak anniversary, that’s 1,826 consecutive days without missing a single outdoor run. In this episode, I reflect on what this journey has really meant to me. From running through holidays, different countries, and all kinds of extreme weather, to pushing myself through injuries and illness, the story goes far deeper than putting one foot in front of the other. I’ll share the lessons I've learnt, how this streak fuels my mission to raise money for children’s causes, and why sticking to a commitment—no matter how tough—can transform your whole outlook on life. Whether you’re considering a running streak, already on one, or just looking for daily motivation, I hope my experiences resonate and encourage you to chase your own challenges. Thanks for listening—and don’t forget, every listen, like, and share helps us save more children’s lives.
