  • Pete and James are knowledgable and genuinely want to help people.

    Great podcast with great hosts. It's a welcome change to see two "real" persons who work in fitness with everyday people share their knowledge. Easy to relate, actionnable advice (no 2hrs long 5am routines).

  • Health and Fitness for real people.

    If you are interested in pure athletic performance, this is not the podcast for you. If you are a real person, with a real job, but wants to be strong and healthy as you chase your (grand) kids around, this is the podcast for you.

    Always great guests, 5 years of back issues for your listening pleasure, but how good have the last 12 months been ? Dan John, Dr Nancy, David Amerland, Stevie Shanks and David Keohan to name a few !

    Good mix of learned opinions from the hosts and interesting and var... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#318 The ADHD Effect: Upgrade Your Brain, Upgrade Your Life with Dr Nancy Allen
Q: What role do lifestyle factors play in managing ADHD?
Lifestyle factors such as sleep quality, regular exercise, and diet (including omega-3s) can have a meaningful impact on symptoms and overall functioning, often complementing medical treatment and reducing secondary issues like stress and mood fluctuations.
#318 The ADHD Effect: Upgrade Your Brain, Upgrade Your Life with Dr Nancy Allen
Q: What is ADHD and how is it diagnosed in adults?
ADHD is diagnosed through a clinical assessment that confirms symptoms have been present since childhood, supported by informant feedback (parents or schools) and questionnaires; there is currently no simple blood test or brain scan to diagnose it. Clinicians rule out other conditions and consider how ADHD has impacted functioning across life domains.
#316 The Gentleman - Ben Glasscock
Q: You mentioned your training reflections and the data you've gathered from this season. What changes are you weighing for next year?
Ben talks about refining training programming, possibly using undulating plans, and prioritizing events to balance training load with performance gains, while avoiding overcommitment.
#316 The Gentleman - Ben Glasscock
Q: What stood out most about competing on the Worlds stage in Myrtle Beach, and how did you manage the different rhythm compared to Giants Live?
Ben highlights the contrast between Worlds' longer delays and the intense, compact tempo of Giants Live, emphasizing the need for careful warmups, recovery, and mental readiness across events.
#316 The Gentleman - Ben Glasscock
Q: And I know that was not been on TV yet. That will be on TV this Christmas. So everyone will be able to watch that there. But I mean, that was your first trip out to World's, wasn't it? How was the experience of that for you, just being on that stage?
Ben describes Worlds as a whirlwind experience, with a steep learning curve, amazing atmosphere, and a mix of highs and rookie mistakes that he's learned from, especially given the tight turnaround from Europe to Worlds.
