Motional Intelligence is a podcast for people who enjoy pushing themselves (and for the rest who'd rather watch, ideally seated). Every Thursday I talk to athletes and content creators about what's really going on when it gets hard: marathon training that wrecks social plans, personal bests nobody claps for, and the 5K that felt like an IRONMAN at the time. Runners, this is your KM-after-KM compan... more

  • Cole Gibbens Episode

    First time I have listened to the podcast. Great chat with Cole who is a top man. On the situation with his girlfriend, the only answer is for men to call out this behaviour when it happens in the hope that it will educate these idiots. I also think doing talks in run clubs of your responsibilities as a runner to challenge such behaviour to build an army of behavioural change would be a positive step.

  • Great Chat

    Calum always has great guests on and it always feels like a really genuine conversation rather than a script of questions. Genuinely interesting and funny. Always listening on a Thursday as soon as it drops. Look forward to it every week.

  • Average runner

    Why does this guy have a platform? He’s a distinctly average runner. Ridiculous to think he would get anywhere near 3:00 in London. Fraud

Could Maple Syrup Be the Future of Marathon Fuelling? | SAP Founders
Q: What's your advice to me then fueling wise for Valencia Marathon?
James advises working up to a consistent fuelling plan, taking gels roughly every 20 minutes, and carrying more than the planned amount. Conor suggests taking an early gel and then fuelling at regular intervals.
Could Maple Syrup Be the Future of Marathon Fuelling? | SAP Founders
Q: What is SAP as a product compared to the rest of the market, and what makes it so different?

An Elite Marathon Winner's Guide to Training... What New Runners Get WRONG

Running Nearly Destroyed Him... Then He Ran a 2:09 Marathon - Jake Smith
Q: What is the biggest advice you would give to someone who knows they need to eat more but is afraid to do so?
Smith suggests making gradual changes, such as adding one familiar snack and then another over time, and says people should seek professional support and get blood tests rather than pushing through without guidance.
