Listen in to my facebook live video as i discuss my client Fraser Morrisons challenge to take on 30 half marathons in 30 days!

Fraser is raising money for his neighbour Karen High to support her treatment for stage 4 bowel cancer. She has exhausted a lot of options here in the UK so is seeking help abroad and this money will go towards helping her.

Fraser has just complete day 1 as i post this so go on his page @fraser_runs to offer support and see the whole journey!

Blueberries, Concurrent Training, Eating  *Real* Food, Alcohol, Being A Dad. Some of the biggest questions i've asked myself this year!

Episode 100!! We've made it. Episode 100 is done. 3 years of the podcast and we're bringing you a big episode with Manchester Born ex DJ Sean Willers (The Willers Brothers). Sean has changed his life massively since quitting his job as a DJ. He had a daily cocaine habit and it was ruining his life. He finally hit rock bottom and decided to make massive changes. Since then he's been on a journey of self development and fitness. 

Sean has his own business "Willers Fitness" and his own podcast "The Afters Cast" x

I loved this chat and im sure it'll spark some change in anyone looking to get "Aff It" 

Rory Crighton comes on for his 2nd appearance on the podcast to talk about his past 12 months taking on some of the biggest challenges he's ever faced. Moving away from Forfar down to Edinburgh with his girlfriend lauren, renovating a new house, taking on a new job, an double stage ultra marathon over the peak district, two hyrox events within a couple weeks of each-other and the hardest challenge of the lot, getting a dachshund puppy.

Rory leads from the front. He is an inspiration for so many people in my program and i have more conversations about Rory than anyone. 

An interesting first appearance on the podcast for my fiancée Elly! We got a few questions through on instagram that we answered and just had a general blether about her very difficult pregnancy and her challenges with her health over the past couple years. Hope you enjoy!  

The high's, the low's. The struggles of being a semi-pro/part-time footballer. Holding down a fulltime job, training twice a week, playing 2 games a week sometimes, alongside trying to balance family life, a social life and all the other moving parts. It's not easy.

Hybrid Athlete... A phrase thrown about willy nilly nowadays. 

So what does it actually mean? Are you already one? What does it take to be successful? Can you actually run and lift concurrently with success? 

Find out in the podcast this week. Elly will be in next week for her podcast epsiode.
