How my Half Marathon went after 6 weeks of training and some tips from my experience to make your own run more enjoyable

A look at diet and anti diet culture, PTs selling at Christmas and using your instincts to pick what’s right for you
Are you always looking for a new plan or diet? Are you always starting again or trying to find a place where you are happy and in a routine? These are the three things I believe you need to come to terms with to see success and be happy with your own training and diet (and which all fit together in a circle). This was recorded just before lockdown and I held off publishing as we all had other things on our mind but as gym hopefully look to reopen soon and we start to return back to looking at our goals I think this is a good time to publish this.
Not a sales podcast but my genuine thoughts on why I think it could be a good investment for you to buy a running programme (note not plan) if you want to improve your running and get support.

Stress, anxiety and worry are something I think everyone’s experienced during lockdown. Here I talk about strategies you could use to help cope with these feelings.
Me chatting about shopping habits, how they have been affected by lockdown and how that in turn has affected our eating habits.
I’m actually pretty proud of this episode - I talk about how food can make us feel, why it affects us and how and why being aware of this can be both a blessing and a hinderance. If you’ve beaten yourself up at any point for your eating in the last few weeks please listen.
The importance of not just setting goals but setting goals that matter. specifically considering creating lockdown goals to get you through the here and now.
A brief ponder about how I’m approaching (or not approaching) rest days during lockdown and why you might want to start thinking about this too.
Three methods of managing your diet over the Easter period (apply equally ell to Christmas, birthdays, weekends away etc)
Part one - why I don’t believe it’s true / Part two - why I don’t believe it’s helpful or healthy
This is my second general ramble about how I feel about the situation right now. The first ten minutes are me just reflecting on my own jumbled thoughts. From then on in I discuss how I’m approaching training, eating and goal setting right now which I think will be appropriate for a lot of peopel
In this episode I chat running with Hollie including our top 7 tips (was meant to be 5) for new runners. Stay tuned for the argument at around the 60 minute mark when first the wine tasting man arrives and Hollie breaks my intercom system and then proceeds to tell me everything that’s wrong with the layout of my flat!
