In this ep we unpack one of Andy’s biggest point of difference in his coaching style; the use of a wearable power device to track training intensity, prescribe race pace and manage training plans. We learn all about the world of power data for runners and how this could be the biggest hack to unlock your athletic potential.
Andy has a strong competitive history in the ultra endurance space, winning countless word class ultratrail races including 114- mile Hardmoors, Pennine 100 mile Challenge, breaking the course record by 4.5 hours just to name 2. Andy is both passionate and meticulous in his approach to coaching and competing at the highest level.
Andy’s coaching style is ahead of the game and we loved getting his expert insight to running data, pacing and performance.
We cover:
- What power training is and how to use it as a runner
- Power for pacing and race predictions
- Limitations of pace to program run intensity

November 06, 2023 117. What even is the "Runners High"?
In this episode, Sophie uncovers why running makes us feel good. This is a rapid fire episode, with more depth on certain aspects coming in future ep’s.
She discusses the previous theory of endorphins causing this 'euphoric' feeling and a more recent idea around a naturally occurring substance, called Endocannabinoid (ECB) which could have a big role to play.
As well as discussing the science and research, she also speaks on a few anecdotal reasons why she believes running is so powerful.
We'd love to hear your thoughts. Why does running make YOU feel good?

October 29, 2023 116. More Than A Run - Running for Mental Health
116. More Than A Run - Running for Mental Health We were We were lucky enough to have the two ‘[mo]re than a run’ Founders on today Alex Bell and Olly Woolrych to chat about what’s going down this Movemeber. It was a chat about men’s mental health, the power of running community, starting conversations and making real impact. We loved having the boys on!
We learnt all about the origins of this community lead initiative, the power of like minded runners coming together and how we can get involved. Olly and Alex believe running can be a vehicle for extraordinary positive change, whether that's improving mental health, starting conversations, as well as, raising awareness and funds for both mental health and suicide prevention.
‘[mo]re than a run’ is a decentralised running event that brings together running clubs all over Australia and NZ to chat about mental health, foster deep connection and raise funds for Movember.
Alex and Olly have a vision to unite and elevate the running community globally, harnessing our shared love for running to empower participants and support mental health.
Over the last two years ‘[mo]re then a run’ has raised over 1.4million for Movemeber, with over 4000 participants and over 300 run clubs. It’s incredible to see what happens when us runners get together for a meaningful cause.
To find out more about Olly and Alex you can find them on Insta @more_than_a_run

There are a number of physiological processes and systems that are impacted when we endure or push our limits for an extended time.
In this episode, Sophie explains some of the science behind why our bodies take a while to recover as well as some guidelines to think about your own recovery timelines and expectations.
